Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes at Miami International Airport

An Amazon cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring five others. The aircraft overran the runway around 2 p.m. after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and plowed across a road used by warehouse workers and other businesses surrounding the airport.

The Prime Air plane came to rest beside a roadway near two semitrucks, images showed. Firefighters used foam from specialized airport firefighting units to extinguish the fire, and crews were still dealing with a fuel leak on the plane hours later.

The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built to carry passengers and flew for several airlines for more than two decades before being converted to a cargo plane in 2015. Amazon said it would cooperate with any investigation into the cause of the crash, which sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky.
