A routine landing turned into a devastating tragedy when an Amazon cargo plane failed to stop at the end of a runway, leaving five people dead and several others injured.
The accident happened on September 6, 2026, at Miami International Airport. The Boeing 767 was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it overshot the runway and continued across the airport boundary.
The aircraft struck a passenger van carrying airport cleaning workers before hitting an SUV on a nearby road. The impact triggered a fire, sending thick smoke into the sky and bringing airport operations to a temporary halt.
Five people inside the van lost their lives, while five others were injured. The two pilots survived with minor injuries.
The aircraft was operating an Amazon Air flight for the company 21 Air. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board began examining the wreckage and flight data to determine what went wrong.
A preliminary investigation later revealed concerns about the aircraft’s speed during its approach. However, the exact cause of the disaster has yet to be established.
