Overview
- The Boeing 767-300 freighter operating as 21 Air Flight 7598 for Amazon Prime Air overran Runway 30 at Miami International Airport after landing from San Juan on Sunday and crossed the airport perimeter before stopping off the runway.
- Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said crews found the aircraft on fire, more than 60 units responded, and the jet struck multiple vehicles while emergency teams worked to extinguish flames and assess multiple patients; official casualty counts remain unconfirmed.
- The Federal Aviation Administration has dispatched inspectors and the National Transportation Safety Board is gathering information as formal investigations begin into what caused the runway overrun.
- Miami International closed all runways and taxiways and the FAA imposed a full ground stop, producing widespread delays and cancellations with hundreds of flights affected and travelers advised to check with airlines.
- The aircraft is operated by 21 Air for Amazon and investigators will review flight data, voice recordings, maintenance records and air traffic communications, a process that can take days to months and that will determine the official cause and confirmed casualty figures.
