Amazon Cargo Plane Overshoots Miami Runway, Kills Five in Vehicle Crash A third‑flight Amazon Boeing 767 overshot Miami International Airport's runway and struck two vehicles, killing five people. Emergency responders salvaged one survivor and are reviewing fuel spills and missing victim ID. NTSB and FAA investigate the lack of a runway arrest system. A Boeing 767 cargo aircraft owned by Amazon Airlines crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, slamming into two vehicles on the roadway after it overshot the runway. The aircraft, which was on its third flight of the day from San Juan, Puerto Rico, lost control on the final approach and ploughed over the end of the paved surface, travelling approximately 1,300 feet past the threshold before striking first a 2012 Ford van and then a second car parked nearby. Investigators say the loss of runway length pushed the jet onto busy 67th Avenue, where the impact was catastrophic.Five people were killed in the crash, all of whom were inside the two vehicles that were hit. No passengers or crew were recovered, and the identities of the deceased have not yet been released. Emergency responders arrived within minutes of the wreckage. A police officer was one of the first on the scene and immediately began checking the flipped SUV that had been torn open by the impact.In a dramatic moment captured on live footage, the officer crouched beside the vehicle and shouted, "You alright?" after finding a survivor trapped inside the wreckage. Witness reports confirm that the officer called for a rescue team, and a second responder later confirmed a person had been retrieved alive from the crumpled car. The on‑scene team also reported burning fuel from the aircraft that had spilled onto the airstrip and surrounding streets, prompting firefighters to deploy temporary water supplies and request additional resources.The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are conducting investigations. NTSB Director Jennifer Homendy stated that recovery and identification of all victims is the organization's priority at this time. There is no definitive explanation yet for what caused the aircraft to overrun the runway, but early reports point to the absence of an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) at the Miami field.EMAS is a safety feature installed at more than 120 airports which uses crushable material at the end of a runway to slow inbound aircraft that overshoot the edge. Miami International did not have such a system in place, a fact that may have allowed the jet to travel the additional 1,300 feet before impact.The FAA's preliminary analysis confirms the lack of EMAS and highlights that the airport's runway length was insufficient for a jet of this size, especially under the conditions that existed on the day of the accident. NTSB officials are also examining the aircraft's flight data recorder and any available cockpit voice recordings. The plane's pilot and co‑pilot were injured during the crash, but their medical conditions remain unknown.Seven crew members employed by a contract cleaning company were inside the van at the time of impact, and authorities are still determining how many, if any, were inside the second car that was hit. Officials have not yet released the identities of the deceased, and families of those who lost their lives and all the survivors are awaiting further information. The investigation is ongoing, and both agencies are working to provide updates as new evidence becomes available.They have also called on the public to honor the missing and to keep the community informed as the situation develops
