Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes at Miami Airport, Five Killed

An Amazon cargo plane operated by 21 Air LLC crashed at Miami International Airport on September 7, 2026, resulting in at least five fatalities and multiple injuries. The aircraft overshot the runway by approximately 1,300 feet, colliding with vehicles both inside and outside the airport boundary.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy described the scene as chaotic, filled with debris. Investigators have recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders for analysis, with further details expected to be released soon.

The incident has raised serious concerns about operational safety protocols, particularly the relationship between Amazon and 21 Air LLC. The aircraft was on its third flight of the day, arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it struck a Ford Econoline van, leading to the fatalities.
