Amazon Cargo Jet Runs Off Miami Runway and Catches Fire

Overview

• Video from the scene showed a Boeing 767-300 that exited the runway, crossed a nearby roadway and was partially ablaze after landing on Sunday.
• The flight had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico and landed shortly before 2 p.m. local time, after which it exceeded the runway limits and came to rest across an adjacent road.
• The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the incident, named the flight as 21 Air 7598 operating for Amazon/Prime Air, and said it will investigate.
• Miami airport closed ground operations while firefighters and emergency crews responded on site, and authorities have not yet released information about injuries or the cause.
• Investigators will inspect the aircraft and flight records as part of the FAA probe and the airport disruption is likely to cause near-term delays to cargo and passenger movements until the disabled jet is removed.
