The NTSB's preliminary report on the fatal Amazon Air 767 overrun at Miami confirms repeated warnings were ignored and the landing was badly mishandled.

If they had followed my original suggestion , they would have lengthened and widened the runways , and not built any carpark crowding the end of the runways . Runways ought to always end in an uninhabited beach or swamp .

Aircraft have both gravity and inertia , and airports ought to think ahead .

This is quite powerful. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. And you're right, "they" should have followed your original suggestion.

If they had circular runway, then we’d not have runway overshot issues at all! What were these airports thinking!

And robot ATC would've issued the wind.

Thank goodness we have the NTSB, non-partisan, no-nonsense, facts-only professionals who want to learn from these tragedies and save lives in the future. (Now, if only we had a FAA that actually took their recommendations seriously...)

There are now 2 humans contributing to this incident. If you add the FO that would make 3.

You need to remove humans ASAP.

Sorta like how your brain was removed, considering the amount of times you make this comment on any given thread?

This is a clear indication that Amazon had it in to ruin Boeing's reputation further, had it been an Airbus, they would've done everything to avoid the issue.
The sooner we muzzle corporations that continue to try and make America look bad, the better.

According to atc recording, there was a change in the tower. First controller consistently gave wind speed, while the second person did not. A captain of a prior arrival had to ask the new controller for wind speed. The new controller was a woman and there is no judgment here other than your assumption it was a man. Lack of wind speed info was not a factor in this crash. A go around should have been called much earlier in this disastrous, unstabilized approach.
