An Amazon Air cargo plane operated by North Carolina charter carrier 21 Air overshot a runway while landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people and seriously injuring five more.<\/p>\n
The Boeing 767-300, inbound from San Juan, Puerto Rico, crashed just before 14:00 local time, crossed a road beyond the runway, and struck vehicles on the ground. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed the death toll Sunday evening; fire chief Raied Jadallah said three of the injured were in critical condition and that crews had to extricate people trapped in or under vehicles.<\/p>\n
Officials say it is too early to name a cause. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating and planned a Monday news conference. Flight-tracking data cited by BBC reporting showed the aircraft still moving at about 112 knots as it left usable runway, with light thunderstorms and gusting winds in the area.<\/p>\n
Amazon and 21 Air both said they are cooperating with investigators. Amazon corporate media director Kelly Nantel called the loss heartbreaking; 21 Air CEO Keith Winters offered condolences and said priorities were supporting those affected and assisting authorities.<\/p>\n
The FAA temporarily grounded flights at the airport during one of the busiest U.S. travel weekends of the year.<\/p>\n
