An air traffic controller failed to warn pilots of an Amazon cargo plane about the potential for strong tail winds before it crashed in Miami, killing five people. The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report Thursday. The controller had given a wind advisory to another flight just minutes earlier but did not inform the Amazon pilots. The plane landed too fast and overshot the runway, hitting a van and killing five people inside. The two pilots suffered minor injuries. After the crash, Amazon suspended its partnership with 21 Air, which operated the plane.
