Amazon Plane Overshoots Miami Runway | Colorado Springs News

A tragic crash at Miami International Airport claimed five lives when an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway, plowing into a van and SUV. Both pilots were injured; one, 55-year-old Joseph Carroll from Colorado, has been identified. The victims were workers from a plane-cleaning company, whose families are in mourning as the company declines to comment. The NTSB is now investigating whether tailwinds and shifting weather played a role, amid reports the aircraft may have been airborne longer than expected before landing. Despite airport safety buffers meeting federal standards, questions remain about air traffic control’s response and the rapidly changing conditions during the two-hour flight from Puerto Rico. The investigation continues as officials seek answers to what went wrong in those critical final moments. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
