Amazon Jet Overrun Kills Plane Crew | Charlotte News

A tragic crash at Miami International Airport claimed five lives when an Amazon cargo jet overran the runway and collided with a van carrying plane cleaners. The pilot and co-pilot are recovering, but two others remain in critical condition. The NTSB is investigating, focusing on the absence of runway overrun prevention systems — a safety feature missing at Miami despite saving hundreds nationwide. Victims, aged 47 to 75, were described by their employer as family; Amazon expressed condolences and is cooperating. Investigators have recovered the flight data recorder and are interviewing crew and controllers. The 32-year-old Boeing 767, once a passenger jet, now flies cargo. Two runways remain closed, disrupting hundreds of flights. The NTSB stresses urgent implementation of safety measures to prevent future disasters.
