Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes at Miami International Airport
A devastating incident occurred at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026, when an Amazon cargo plane, Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767-300 jet, overran the diagonal runway and crashed. The aircraft had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, earlier that day.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Amazon confirmed that the plane struck multiple vehicles on the ground, resulting in at least five fatalities and five injured individuals. The incident led to the closure of one of the nation's busiest airports, with all runways and taxiways shut down. Over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene.
Miami International Airport confirmed that the plane overran the diagonal runway and is disabled at the northwest end of the airport. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy advised travelers using the airport to expect delays and potential cancellations. Amazon stated, 'We're working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened... Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved.'
