Atlas Air Flight 3591 was a scheduled domestic cargo flight operating for Amazon Air between Miami International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. On February 23, 2019, the Boeing 767-375ER(BCF) operating this flight crashed into Trinity Bay during approach into Houston, killing the two crew members and one passenger on board. The accident occurred near Anahuac, Texas, east of Houston, shortly before 12:45 CST (18:45 UTC).[2][3][4] Debris was found in the shallow waters of Trinity Bay, ranging from small articles of clothing to large aircraft parts.

Accident

Atlas Air 3591 was on approach towards Houston, when it made a sharp turn south before going into a rapid descent. Witnesses to the crash described the plane entering a nosedive; some also recalled hearing "what sounded like lightning" before the Boeing 767 hit the ground.[5][6]

At 12:36 CST (18:36 UTC) radar and radio contact was lost. There was no distress call.[7] Shortly before 12:45 CST (18:45 UTC), Flight 3591 crashed into the north end of Trinity Bay at Jack's Pocket.[3] The area of water is within Chambers County, Texas and is in proximity to Anahuac.[8]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an alert after radar and radio contact was lost around {{convert|30|mi|-1||}} southeast of its destination.[9] Air traffic controllers tried at least twice to contact the flight, with no response. Controllers asked pilots aboard two nearby flights if they saw a crash site, both of whom said they did not.[10]

The United States Coast Guard dispatched a helicopter and several boats to search for survivors. Numerous other agencies responded as well. The largest piece of aircraft debris found has been less than {{convert|50|ft|||}} in length. Some of the debris had the Amazon logo visible. The accident site was only accessible via airboat and helicopter.

The water varies in depth from zero to {{convert|5|ft|spell=in||}} deep and is partially mud marsh.[11]

Aircraft

The Boeing 767-375ER ({{abbr|MSN|manufacturer's serial number}} 25865/430) aircraft was registered N1217A and was nearly 27 years old at the time of the accident, having been built in 1992. It was originally ordered by Canadian Airlines, but first placed into service by China Southern Airlines through GPA, an aircraft leasing company.[12] In 1997, it was transferred to LAN Airlines and flown for 19 years before being stored in January 2016. It was converted into a freighter in April 2017, and placed into service for Amazon Prime Air by Atlas Air.[13] In August 2018, Amazon named two aircraft in its fleet, including N1217A as CustomAir Obsession. The name, painted on the aircraft just aft of the cockpit windows,[14] was a near homonym of "customer obsession", an Amazon leadership principle.[15] The aircraft had accumulated more than 91,063 hours over 23,316 flights,[16][18] and was powered by two GE CF6-80 turbofan engines.[17]

Victims

There were three people onboard the aircraft.[18] On February 24, Atlas Air confirmed that all three died.[4][19]

Captain Ricky Blakely of Indiana, First Officer Conrad Jules Aska of Antigua, and Mesa Airlines Captain Sean Archuleta of Houston (a jumpseater aboard the flight) were first identified as the three victims on social media by friends and family. According to a close friend and roommate Don Dalton, Archuleta was in his final week of employment at Mesa Airlines, and was traveling home before beginning new-hire pilot training with United Airlines, scheduled for the following week.[20]

On February 25, Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne confirmed that two bodies recovered from the site had been identified as Aska and Archuleta.[21] The two bodies were taken to a medical examiner’s office, and are awaiting autopsy.[22][23] On February 26, a third body was recovered from the accident site; the identity of the body has not been released.[24]

Investigation

Investigators from the FAA, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were dispatched to the accident site, with the NTSB leading the accident investigation.[25] A dive team from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) was tasked with locating the aircraft's flight recorders, and dive teams from the Houston and Baytown police departments were also on-scene, assisting in the search.[26] The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder have been located and transported to an NTSB lab for analysis.[27][28] Crews will likely remain at the accident site for weeks for recovery.[29]

The cause of the accident is not yet known.[30] It was noted that storm cells were nearby at the time of the accident, but this is not unusual for Bush Intercontinental.[31] CCTV cameras at the Chambers County jail show the airplane in a steep, nose-low descent just prior to impact.[32][33]

The FAA, Boeing, Atlas Air, National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the pilots' labor union), Air Line Pilots Association,[34] and engine maker General Electric are assisting or have offered their assistance to the NTSB inquiry.[35]

After listening to the cockpit voice recorder the NTSB stated that "Crew communications consistent with a loss of control of the aircraft began approximately 18 seconds prior to the end of the recording".[30] On March 12 the NTSB stated that the airplane "pitched nose down over the next 18 seconds to about 49° in response to column input." Later that same day the statement was changed to "...in response to nose-down elevator deflection".[36][37]
