A cargo plane operated by Amazon Air overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring five others. The Boeing 767-300, which had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, struck multiple vehicles on a perimeter road before catching fire. Emergency crews worked to rescue trapped pilots, with dramatic footage showing firefighters climbing into the charred cockpit.
The incident caused a ground stop at the airport and disrupted flights across the region. Federal investigators, including the FAA and NTSB, are examining the cause of the crash. Officials confirmed the plane had landed safely before veering off the runway. The crash occurred around 2 p.M. Local time, marking a tragic turn for what was initially a routine cargo landing.
Authorities are still determining the exact cause of the overrun, though initial reports suggest the plane may have lost control during landing. The crash has raised concerns about safety protocols for cargo flights. Investigations are ongoing, with no immediate indication of a broader pattern or systemic issues.
