Amazon Plane Crash: Black Boxes Recovered; Canada’s Counter-Tariffs Take Effect | NTD Good Morning (Sept. 8)

Investigators say they recovered the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the Amazon Prime Air cargo plane that crashed at Miami Airport on Sunday, killing five people. The recordings are expected to be downloaded on Tuesday, according to NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy. The plane crashed into a van carrying seven people from an airline cleaning crew, after overrunning the runway by about 1,300 feet.

Canada’s counter-tariffs on American goods, ranging from seafood to furniture and worth $20 billion, went into effect just after midnight on Sept. 8 as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sought to hit back following the collapse of trade talks last month. Canada says its tariffs match Washington’s dollar for dollar, and cover about 6 percent of the $333.6 billion the United States exported to Canada last year.

U.S. forces say they sank a drug vessel tied to the Ecuadorian narco-terrorist group Los Choneros. U.S. Southern Command said the vessel operated as a refueling station to support drug trafficking operations at sea in the Eastern Pacific. The vessel was cleared, and its crew disembarked before it was sunk. The Los Choneros cartel was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department last year.
