NTSB: Air traffic controller did not warn Amazon cargo pilots about tail wind before Miami crash that killed five

The National Transportation Safety Board says an air traffic controller gave a wind advisory to another flight four minutes before the Amazon cargo plane landed at Miami International Airport, but did not provide wind information to the Amazon pilots. The report says federal rules require controllers to state wind direction and velocity when a tail wind exists on the runway. The crash killed five people.
