Amazon Plane Overshoots Runway in Miami | Lubbock News

A tragic crash at Miami International Airport claims five lives when an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway, plowing into a van and then an SUV—both struck during stormy conditions. The victims were employees of a plane-cleaning company, described by their employer as family. Though the pilots survived with injuries, investigators are probing why the aircraft couldn’t stop, focusing on the absence of a critical runway safety system missing at many U.S. airports. With strong winds suspected to play a role, the National Transportation Safety Board is reviewing flight data, interviewing crew and controllers, and examining why the landing wasn’t aborted. The Boeing 767, converted from passenger to cargo in 2015, left two runways closed, disrupting hundreds of flights—while NTSB vows to reopen them swiftly once its investigation concludes.
