Overview
- An Amazon‑branded Boeing 767 operating as 21 Air Flight 7598 ran off Runway 30 at Miami International Airport and crossed the perimeter on Sunday before striking vehicles and catching fire.
- Miami‑Dade officials confirmed five people were killed and five others injured; the NTSB said the jet traveled about 1,300 feet past the runway and that the fatalities were occupants of two struck vehicles.
- The National Transportation Safety Board and FAA are leading the probe on site; investigators recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders and said they will not determine probable cause while crews remain at the scene.
- The aircraft was a 32‑year‑old 767-300 converted to freighter service and flown for Amazon by contracted carrier 21 Air, with investigators focusing on maintenance records, crew landing actions and the Amazon–contractor operating relationship.
- The crash closed runways and disrupted hundreds of flights and has renewed scrutiny of runway safety at MIA, including the absence of an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) and unconfirmed questions about weather and braking or thrust use during landing.
