Amazon Cargo Jet Overshoots Runway in Miami | Tulsa News

An Amazon cargo jet overshot Miami’s runway by 1,300 feet, crashing through a fence and into a van carrying five cleaning crew members — all killed. The pilot and co-pilot survived. Stormy weather and suspected tailwinds may have contributed, but why the landing wasn’t aborted remains unclear. The crash shut down runways for days, causing hundreds of flight delays. NTSB investigators are probing maintenance, airline ops, and ATC’s failure to adjust for shifting winds — plus the lack of emergency braking systems for jets. This tragedy underscores urgent safety gaps that must be addressed to prevent future disasters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
