Summary
Roosevelt S. Perdomo Torres, 36, sued Amazon and eight other defendants Friday, saying the Prime Air Flight 7598 crash at Miami International left him in intensive care after he was thrown from a work van.
The 32-page suit alleges the 32-year-old Boeing 767 approached too fast, descended excessively and landed too far down the runway, while pilots made contradictory inputs and failed to use full braking power.
NTSB findings cited in the report broadly align with those claims: cockpit recordings captured repeated warnings about excessive speed, and investigators said the jet traveled 1,300 feet beyond the paved surface with no recorded speed-brake or thrust deployment.
The Sunday overrun killed five airport workers in the van, critically injured another worker and a 79-year-old driver, and shut one of MIA's four runways as investigators continued collecting evidence.
