GoKawiilNTSB: Amazon 767 overran Miami runway by 1,300 feet, hit two vehicles
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the 21 Air Boeing 767-300 operating Prime Air Flight 7598 overshot Miami International Airport's runway by roughly 1,300 feet after arriving from San Juan on Sunday. The jet struck a cleaning-company van inside the airport, broke through a perimeter fence and hit a passenger car outside, killing at least five people and injuring five more before sliding through a second fence near parked Tesla robotaxis.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
With flight and cockpit recorders now headed to NTSB headquarters, investigators will spend at least a week examining what caused a widebody cargo jet to travel so far beyond the runway, a question with implications for Amazon's air-cargo operations and airport perimeter safety more broadly. The fact that debris reached vehicles and infrastructure outside airport boundaries also raises scrutiny of buffer zones around busy commercial airports like MIA.
- The Amazon-operated 767 overshot Miami's runway by about 1,300 feet, crashing through two perimeter fences.
- At least five people died and five were injured, all fatalities occurring in the two struck vehicles.
- NTSB has recovered both black boxes but says it won't determine a probable cause while still on scene.
