Amazon Cargo Plane Crash Under Investigation | Charleston News

A deadly Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport has triggered a federal investigation after the Boeing 767 overshot the runway, killing five and injuring others. Video shows the plane touched down far beyond the normal touchdown zone—raising questions about pilot decisions, speed, braking, and weather conditions including strong winds and nearby storm clouds. The aircraft, converted from a passenger jet in 2015 and now 32 years old, lacked an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) on that runway—a safety feature not mandated by federal rules for that specific area. Investigators are also reviewing maintenance logs and flight history, while the crash caused widespread airport disruptions with dozens of flights canceled or delayed.
