United States, an Amazon cargo plane goes off the runway in Miami, five dead

Un aereo cargo di Amazon, un Boeing 767-300, è uscito dal pista durante l'atterraggio all'aeroporto di Miami, causando un impatto con veicoli nell'area e lasciando cinque morti e cinque feriti, tra cui tre in condizioni critiche. L'incidente ha portato alla chiusura temporanea dell'aeroporto per permettere ai pompieri di estinguere le fiamme e ai soccorritori di estrarre le vittime bloccate nei mezzi danneggiati. Le indagini sono in corso per chiarire le cause dell'incidente, con l'aiuto delle scatole nere e dei testimoni. L'aereo, che proveniva da Puerto Rico, era parte della flotta di Amazon e il suo nome è stato recentemente modificato da Prime Air a Amazon Air. L'evento ricorda un incidente simile avvenuto nel 1997 a Miami. L'incidente si verifica durante un fine settimana molto affollato, con il Labor Day che conclude ufficialmente l'estate.

An Amazon cargo plane crashed during landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people and injuring five others, including three in critical condition. The aircraft, a Boeing 767-300 operated by Amazon Air, exited the runway at high speed and collided with several vehicles near the airport perimeter, triggering a fire. Firefighters managed to rescue the pilots alive while the engines were still burning, according to initial reports. The incident occurred around 2 p.m. local time, as the plane arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico. According to air traffic control recordings, the pilots did not report any emergency before touchdown. The plane was traveling at approximately 210 kilometers per hour when it left the usable portion of the runway, as indicated by data from Flightradar24. It struck multiple cars and ignited a large fire, forcing authorities to close the airport temporarily for firefighting operations. Firefighters deployed more than 60 units and approximately 200 personnel to contain the blaze and extract victims trapped in the damaged vehicles. Several individuals remained lodged inside the impacted cars, requiring complex extrication efforts. Three injured persons were transported to a trauma center, while two others were taken to a local hospital. The severity of injuries among the victims has been described as critical. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the crash and launched an investigation into the incident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) also dispatched a team to examine the circumstances surrounding the accident. The aircraft, originally delivered as a passenger jet in 1994, had been converted into a cargo plane by a third party. Amazon has stated it is cooperating with local authorities to gather information and prioritize the safety and well-being of those affected. This incident echoes a similar tragedy that occurred in Miami in August 1997, when a cargo flight crashed during takeoff and hit a busy highway, resulting in five fatalities. The current crash took place during one of the busiest weekends of the year, coinciding with the Labor Day holiday, which officially marks the end of summer. Local media have shared footage showing the massive cargo plane tilted over a road adjacent to the airport, with thick black smoke rising from the scene. Emergency responders worked under challenging conditions to manage both the fire and the extraction of victims. The airport’s temporary closure disrupted operations, prompting officials to advise passengers to contact their airlines for updates on flight status. Authorities are relying on black box data and witness accounts to determine the exact sequence of events leading to the crash. While some details remain unclear, the immediate focus remains on the recovery and care of the injured, as well as the ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident.
