Miami cargo plane crash kills five at Miami airport after runway overrun See what happened, why flights were disrupted, and what investigators found
An Amazon cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring five others, according to local officials. The aircraft struck vehicles and caught fire after landing from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
MiamiDade County officials said the plane traveled across a road used by airportarea workers and businesses before coming to a stop near a roadway. Emergency crews responded with about 200 personnel, extinguished heavy flames, and continued dealing with a fuel leak hours later.
The cause of the crash has not been determined. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending investigators to Miami, while Amazon said it will cooperate with the probe. The incident disrupted airport operations, leading to many cancellations and delays.
