A Boeing went off the runway in Miami, ended up on the road, crashed into vehicles and caught fire.

A cargo plane operated by Amazon Prime Air, a Boeing 767-300, veered off the runway at Miami International Airport after landing, crashed onto a road, collided with several vehicles, and caught fire, leading to the complete shutdown of air traffic at the airport. The incident occurred around 2 PM local time, with multiple people reported injured. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the aircraft was disabled after taking off from a diagonal runway and remained inoperable. Firefighters arrived to find the plane already on fire, with visible flames and thick smoke. Over 60 firefighters were deployed, and authorities stated there were 'multiple injured individuals' on-site. The FAA ordered a full halt to air traffic due to the disabled aircraft, closing all runways and taxi lanes by 3 PM. Details about the extent of injuries and the cause of the incident remain under investigation.

A Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by Amazon Prime Air crashed off the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, striking multiple vehicles and catching fire. The incident occurred around 2 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The aircraft, which had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, overshot the runway and came to rest on a nearby road, colliding with several cars before igniting. Thick black smoke rose from the wreckage, prompting the closure of all runways at the airport. Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene, dispatching more than 60 firefighters to the location. According to the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, the plane was already on fire upon arrival, with intense flames and dense smoke visible. At least five people were confirmed dead, though it was initially unclear whether the fatalities occurred among passengers on board or individuals inside the vehicles struck by the plane. Three of the injured were reported to be in critical condition, while two others sustained less serious injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Officials from the Miami-Dade County government stated that the pilot and co-pilot were trapped in the cockpit following the impact, and several people were also trapped in vehicles. Over 200 emergency responders arrived at the site to assist in rescue efforts and manage the situation. The incident caused widespread disruption at Miami International Airport, leading to the temporary suspension of all flights. The FAA issued orders to halt all air traffic at the airport due to the presence of an incapacitated aircraft. All runways and taxiways were closed starting at 3 p.m. local time, with flight operations expected to resume once the situation was under control. Videos shared on social media showed the aircraft resting on its belly alongside a roadway, with black smoke billowing from its fuselage. One clip captured the moment the plane touched down, appearing to land unstably with the left main landing gear not making contact with the runway. Another video displayed the aftermath, with the aircraft partially intact amid the debris and smoke. Amazon Prime Air confirmed the incident, stating that the company was cooperating fully with local authorities to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. A spokesperson for Amazon expressed deep concern over the tragedy and emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting the ongoing inquiry. The FAA and NTSB are working to determine the factors that led to the crash, including potential weather conditions. Reports indicated that thunderstorms and wind gusts reaching up to 48 kilometers per hour were present in the area at the time of the incident. However, it remains uncertain whether these conditions directly contributed to the crash. Authorities continue to assess the situation, with updates expected as more information becomes available regarding the status of the injured and the progress of the investigation. Emergency services have secured the area, ensuring public safety while efforts continue to address the aftermath of the incident.
