Amazon cargo plane crashes after overshooting Miami airport runway - The Washington Post

An Amazon cargo aircraft crashed at Miami International Airport after it overshot the runway during its landing attempt on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred as the plane was completing a flight that originated in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the aircraft overran the runway at approximately 2 p.m. local time. The overshoot caused the plane to leave the paved surface and come to a stop beyond the runway’s end.

Following the overrun, a fire broke out on the aircraft. Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene and worked to extinguish the blaze and secure the area.

Investigators from the FAA and other relevant authorities have begun a preliminary investigation into the factors that led to the runway excursion and subsequent fire. No official cause has been released at this time.

As of the latest reports, there have been no confirmed injuries among crew members or airport personnel, and the airport has been working to restore normal operations after the incident.
