A Boeing 767-300 operated by Amazon's Prime Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people and injuring five others. The crash occurred shortly before 2pm local time as the plane arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Witnesses described the moment the aircraft veered off the runway and collided with multiple vehicles, including a work van and an SUV.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, with officials confirming that all five fatalities were inside the van, which was carrying seven people from a cleaning company. The crash caused significant disruption, leading to airline delays and cancellations at the airport.
Firefighters responded to the scene, where dramatic footage showed flames shooting from the aircraft as witnesses feared an explosion. The wreckage was recovered, and flight recorders are being analyzed to determine the cause of the overrun.
Authorities have not yet released details on the exact cause of the incident, but the crash has raised concerns about safety protocols at the airport. Investigations are ongoing.
