Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes at Miami Airport, Five Killed
An Amazon-branded cargo plane leased by 21Air crashed at Miami International Airport on [date not specified], resulting in five fatalities and three severe injuries. The Prime Air- branded Boeing 767 overran runway 30, which is 2,850 meters long, after landing.
The plane was unable to stop before the end of the runway, exited onto the airport grounds, crossed a road, and came to a halt in what appears to be a carpark. The nose pitched down into the ground as it ran across grass beyond the runway, causing extensive damage and a fire to the starboard engine.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed that five people died in the crash, with three more severely injured. Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel expressed the company's condolences to the families of those affected.
21Air CEO Keith Winters also issued a statement, expressing his deepest condolences and committing to support those affected and assist the authorities. The incident marks the second major crash involving an Amazon-leased 767, following a similar incident in 2019.
