Two bodies recovered after Amazon cargo plane crashes into Texas bay
(Reuters) - Two bodies have been recovered from the wreckage of an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane that nosedived into a bay outside Houston on Saturday, authorities said.
All three people aboard the Boeing 767 cargo jetliner operated by Atlas Air Worldwide died in the crash as it approached Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Atlas and Boeing Co said in statements on Sunday.
Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne told a Sunday afternoon press conference that two bodies had been recovered and the search continued for the third person.
U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairman Robert Sumwalt said the agency obtained about five seconds of security video from a local jail that showed the crash.
"The aircraft is in the video as it's descending in a steep descent, a steep nose down attitude," Sumwault told the press briefing, adding that there was no distress call.
Asked by a reporter if the incident was "anything more than a plane crash," Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Perrye Turner said, "that's what we have right now."
The plane crashed at the north end of Trinity Bay near the small city of Anahuac, about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of the airport around 12.40 p.m. (1340 EST) after taking off from Miami.
"This is a sad time for all of us," Bill Flynn, Atlas Air's chief executive officer, said in a statement. "Our team continues to work closely with the NTSB, the FAA and local authorities on the ground in Houston."
Atlas Air Worldwide has been operating Boeing 767 freighters on behalf of Amazon following a 2016 deal.
Boeing said in a statement that it had sent a team to provide technical assistance to the NTSB as it conducted its investigation.

U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak suspends vaccine mandate for employees
12-14-2021
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak said on Tuesday it will temporarily suspend a vaccine mandate for employees and now no longer expects to be forced to cut some service in January.
In a memo seen by Reuters, Amtrak Chief Executive Bill Flynn said the railroad would allow employees who were not vaccinated to get tested.
[not ideal but better than a mandate - gotta get rid of ALL REQTS ASAP]
Currently, fewer than 500 active Amtrak employees are not in compliance. Last week, the railroad told Congress it anticipated "proactively needing to temporarily reduce some train frequencies across our network" because of the mandate.
Flynn said 95.7% of Amtrak's 17,000 employees are either fully vaccinated or have an accommodation -- and including employees with one dose 97.3% of employees are in compliance.
Amtrak cited a U.S. district court decision that halted the enforcement of President Joe Biden's executive order mandating vaccines for federal contractors by January.
"This caused the company to reevaluate our policy and to address the uncertainty about the federal requirements that apply to Amtrak," the memo said.
Amtrak added that employees "required to submit testing and fail to do so will be placed on an unpaid leave of absence initially."
Last week, lawmakers questioned Amtrak officials over planned service cuts during a House committee hearing.
Republican Representative Sam Graves had criticized the planned cuts and said Tuesday the Biden administration's vaccine mandate "would have delivered less service for the taxpayers footing the Bill."
Amtrak President Stephen Gardner told a House panel last week it had planned was "to fully restore all frequencies by March or as soon as we have qualified employees available."
Amtrak is currently working to add 2,500 to 3,500 new employees by late 2022.
Congress has approved $66 Billion for rail as part of a massive infrastructure Bill, with Amtrak receiving $22 Billion and $36 Billion for competitive grants.
Amtrak saw demand fall off substantially during COVID-19 and is now seeing about 70% of pre-pandemic volumes, Gardner said.
