On a routine cargo landing at Miami International Airport, an Amazon freight jet failed to decelerate and overran the runway, striking ground vehicles and killing five members of a cleaning crew. The pilot escaped the burning wreckage, leaving investigators to confront the oldest and most difficult question in aviation safety: why do trained professionals, operating known machinery, sometimes fail to prevent the preventable? The National Transportation Safety Board has recovered the black boxes, beginning the slow, methodical work of turning wreckage into understanding.
