Overview
- A Boeing 767-300 operated for Amazon overran the runway at Miami International Airport and came to rest in a nearby parking and roadway area after landing on Sunday, hitting multiple vehicles and igniting a fire.
- Authorities have confirmed five deaths and five injured patients, three of whom are in critical condition, and officials have not yet made public whether the fatalities were on board the aircraft or in the struck vehicles.
- The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have launched formal investigations and the NTSB chair has scheduled a briefing as teams recover the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
- Preliminary public data cited in early reports say the jet arrived from San Juan and was managed by cargo operator 21 Air, and that Flightradar24 and ATC logs showed the aircraft traveling roughly 210 km/h when it left the runway and an initial overrun estimate near 460 meters that investigators will verify.
- Miami International Airport was temporarily closed while firefighters and rescue crews extracted people from crushed vehicles and fought the blaze, and the incident has disrupted holiday weekend operations and drawn comparisons to a past Miami cargo crash that struck vehicles off the runway.
