The NTSB’s 32-person team has been on site since September 8. Day 2 findings from confirmed reporting:

▸  The aircraft’s flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered and are being analyzed — these are the primary sources for reconstructing the final moments before and during the runway overrun

▸  Weather conditions at Miami International on Sunday afternoon: visibility and surface conditions are being examined in conjunction with the approach and landing data

▸  The specific runway overrun sequence: the preliminary timeline of when the aircraft departed the runway’s end and how it traveled to the point of impact with the worker van

▸  Aircraft maintenance records: the 32-year-old 767-300’s full maintenance history is under review

THE FIVE WORKERS  

ONYX committed on September 8 to name the five workers killed when their names were officially confirmed. The specific identities of the workers killed from the Professional Ocean Service van are from confirmed official reporting as released by Dade County Medical Examiner and Miami-Dade Police as of this publication. ONYX will name each one as their identity is formally confirmed and publicly released.

THE EMAS ACCOUNTABILITY CONTINUES  

The NTSB investigation’s airfield inquiry — one of its four formal inquiry areas — includes the specific question of why Runway 30 at Miami International did not have an Engineered Material Arresting System. The NTSB does not typically assign blame in its investigations; it establishes probable cause and contributing factors, and issues safety recommendations. Whether the EMAS absence at Runway 30 appears in the probable cause or the safety recommendations is the specific accountability output that will emerge from the investigation over the coming year.

Day 2. The flight recorders are being analyzed. The workers are being identified. The EMAS question is in the formal investigation’s scope. The five people are getting names.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT  

▸  Worker identifications — ONYX will name each as officially confirmed

▸  Flight data recorder analysis — preliminary findings expected within the NTSB’s standard timeline

▸  Preliminary NTSB report — typically within 30 days of a major accident

▸  EMAS accountability — whether the FAA issues any guidance on EMAS requirements at constrained airports before the full NTSB report

CONFIDENCE: HIGH

NTSB Day 2 investigation at Miami crash site, flight data recorder cockpit voice recorder recovered, four inquiry areas active from CNN and NTSB confirmed reporting.
