Amazon cargo jet pilot reportedly told wife, ‘My career is over’ shortly after deadly crash

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

After an Amazon cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport, killing five people, one of the pilots reportedly told his wife over the phone that his “career was over,” according to a new report.

Abraham Altamar told CBS News that he had witnessed the fiery wreck on Sunday while he was working in a nearby building. He did not identify which of the two pilots he spoke with.

Altamar was on FaceTime with his wife when he said the pilot approached him.

“He was, like, shaking and, and a little injured in his forehead and his hand,” Altamar said. “I was like, ‘Hey, you want me to call 911?’ He’s like, ‘No, we already called them.'”

The pilot then called his wife on Altamar’s phone to tell her what had happened, CBS reported.

Altamar said the pilot told his wife that he was fine, while instructing her to tell his mother that he was in an accident but survived.

During this conversation, the pilot also reportedly said, “My career is over.”

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office identified the two pilots as Joseph Carroll, 55, and Jaime Felipe Silva Molina, 37.

A LinkedIn profile for Carroll lists him as a captain for 21 Air, the company operating the plane that crashed over the weekend. A profile for Molina lists him as a first officer at 21 Air.

Federal Aviation Administration records show both men hold airline transport pilot certificates and are qualified to fly Boeing 767 aircraft, the model involved in the Miami crash.

The aircraft was on its third flight of the day when it tried landing at Miami International.

The jet overshot the runway by at least 1,300 feet beyond the paved surface before crashing into multiple vehicles, including a 2012 white Ford Econoline van with passengers inside, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said during a Monday press conference.

The aircraft then crashed through the airport perimeter and struck a civilian vehicle, a Toyota Corolla Cross LE.

On Tuesday, Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz released the names of the five people who were killed, all of whom were inside vehicles that were hit by the plane.
