THREE are dead after a Boeing 767 Atlas Air cargo jet operating for Amazon Prime Air crashed into Trinity Bay on approaching Houston, plunging 3,000 feet in 30 seconds, reports the London Daily Mail and the Associated Press.
There were no survivors. The flight departed from Miami and was bound for Houston when it nosedived and plunged into the bay, which is just about five feet deep and is mostly muddy marsh.
It made a steep descent from 6,525 feet to 3,025 feet in 30 seconds, according to tracking data from FlightAware.com.
Officers and rescue teams flocked to the scene where broken debris was visible in the water along with bits of floating cargo such as women's clothing and cardboard boxes.
Sheriff Brian Hawthorne described the crash during a press conference as 'total devastation', later telling the Houston Chronicle that police had found human remains at the site.
