Amazon Cargo Jet Crashes in Miami | Durham News

A Boeing 767 cargo jet slammed into two vehicles at Miami International Airport, killing five people — all cleaning crew members — after overshooting the runway by over a thousand feet. The pilot and co-pilot survived, but investigators are probing why the landing wasn’t aborted, whether air traffic control adjusted for shifting tailwinds, and why no runway speed-stop systems exist despite NTSB recommendations. The plane, converted from a passenger jet in 2015, is now under scrutiny for maintenance and operator practices. This tragedy echoes a similar crash in Louisville last fall, underscoring urgent safety gaps that remain unaddressed.
