What happened

A Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft bearing an Amazon logo overran the runway while landing at Miami International Airport around 2 p.m. local time on Sunday, September 6. The plane, operating as 21 Air Flight 7598, had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Upon landing, the aircraft came to rest on fire and spewing heavy smoke. The crash resulted in multiple injuries, though the extent of injuries and damage was not clear at the time of reporting. Over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units were deployed to the scene.

Context

The runway overrun forced airport authorities to ground flights and deploy emergency response. The incident disrupted airport operations and affected multiple people on the ground, as the plane came to rest beyond the airport boundary on the other side of a road, crashing into vehicles. Amazon stated it is prioritizing the safety and care of those involved and is working with local authorities to understand the cause.

What's disputed

The extent of injuries and damage to the aircraft and surrounding vehicles remain unclear.
