Overview
- The Boeing 767 operating as Prime Air Flight 7598 overran Miami International Airport’s runway on Sunday, Sept. 6, crossed a nearby road, struck multiple vehicles and caught fire.
- Local officials confirmed five people were killed and five others were injured with three in critical condition after rescue crews completed complex extrications.
- Rescuers freed the pilot and co-pilot from the cockpit, fought engines that were on fire and worked to stop a kerosene leak while more than 60 firefighters stayed on scene.
- The aircraft was identified as registration N1997A, a 21 Air-operated Boeing 767 in Amazon livery, and the FAA has opened an investigation while the NTSB deployed investigators and plans a press briefing.
- Miami International temporarily closed runways and taxiways after the crash and later began a phased reopening, and the accident raises renewed questions about cargo aviation safety and oversight after recent fatal cargo crashes.
