At least 5 dead after Amazon cargo plane barreled off runway at Miami airport
- At least five people were killed and five others injured after a Boeing 767-300 cargo plane operating for Amazon Prime Air overran a runway upon landing at Miami International Airport.
- The aircraft, operated by charter carrier 21 Air on a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, traveled beyond the airfield boundary into a surrounding roadway, striking multiple vehicles and bursting into heavy flames.
- More than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene, deploying specialized foam equipment to extinguish the blaze, mitigate an active fuel leak, and extricate trapped victims.
- Air traffic control audio review revealed the flight crew did not declare an emergency prior to landing, and officials noted the aircraft damaged airport navigational equipment after sliding past the runway safety area.
- The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board launched a formal joint investigation into the fatal crash, which forced an immediate ground stop and temporary closure of all runways at the airport.
