At least 5 dead after Amazon cargo plane barreled off runway at Miami airport
At least five people died and five others were injured as investigators probed the cause of the runway overrun, officials said.
- On Sunday, September 6, 2026, an Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767-300 freighter operated by 21 Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport, struck multiple vehicles on a nearby roadway, and caught fire.
- The flight arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, around 2 p.m. local time before the incident occurred, prompting more than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units to respond with emergency crews working to extinguish flames and conduct search-and-rescue operations.
- Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed five fatalities and five injuries, with three victims in critical condition taken to a trauma center and two hospitalized with less severe injuries.
- The accident forced a full ground stop at Miami International Airport, closing all runways and taxiways as approximately 250 flights were delayed by late Sunday afternoon, disrupting one of the nation's busiest travel hubs.
- NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy will lead the federal investigation, examining runway conditions, aircraft braking systems, and thrust reversers to determine what caused the Boeing 767 to overrun the runway and strike vehicles.
