WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) – One pilot of the Amazon Prime Air cargo ​plane that crashed ‌in Miami on Sunday commented to the other about excessive speed throughout the last ‌one ​minute and ⁠42 seconds of ⁠the cockpit voice recording, the National Transportation Safety Board said.

There was not a ​consistent verbal response to the pilot’s comments ⁠about speed, ⁠the NTSB said in ​an investigative update released ​on Wednesday that did not ‌disclose which pilot made the remarks.

‘Too low, terrain,’ was also enunciated several ⁠times on the Boeing 767 plane before it touched down ⁠and ‌overshot the runway ⁠in an accident that ​killed ‌five people and ​injured five ⁠others, the board said in its update.
