Amazon Jet Overrun Kills Five | Durham News

A tragic crash at Miami International Airport claims five lives when an Amazon cargo jet overruns the runway, plowing into a van carrying plane cleaning crew members. The NTSB is investigating, focusing on the absence of overrun prevention systems at the airport — a safety feature that’s saved lives elsewhere. The pilot and co-pilot were hospitalized but released; two others remain critically injured. Investigators have recovered the flight data recorder and are interviewing crew and controllers. The 32-year-old Boeing 767, once a passenger jet, landed amid reported strong winds, raising questions about why the landing wasn’t aborted. Two runways remain closed, disrupting hundreds of flights.
