Amazon Jet Overruns Runway in Miami | Miami News

An Amazon cargo jet crashed at Miami International Airport after veering off the runway, killing five and injuring several others. Investigators suspect the plane may have touched down too far down the runway to stop safely, with video showing it airborne longer than expected before landing. The NTSB is probing speed, braking, weather, and mechanical factors — especially whether pilots should have aborted the landing. Miami’s runway lacks arresting systems found elsewhere, and tailwinds may have contributed. The 32-year-old Boeing 767, converted from passenger to cargo in 2015, was operated by 21 Air. Amazon says it will fully cooperate as the investigation continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
