Amazon Plane Crash Kills Five Workers | Charlotte News

Five workers died when an Amazon cargo plane veered off the runway and slammed into their van at Miami Airport—where they were finishing a shift cleaning aircraft under tight deadlines. Two others survived in critical condition. The victims, including 53-year-old Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, a Cuban immigrant who worked multiple jobs to support his family, were employed by Professional Ocean Service Corp., a company with 15 years of service at the airport. Their attorney called them “hardworking and loved,” as families grapple with unimaginable loss. The company mourned them as “family.” Investigations are underway into the crash’s cause, while wrongful death lawsuits have been filed against Amazon, the plane operator, and pilots. This tragedy underscores the perilous, high-pressure world of airport ground crews. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
