Al menos cinco muertos al salirse de la pista en el aeropuerto de Miami un avión de carga de Amazon
El accidente, que ha involucrado a varios vehículos y dejado cinco heridos, ha interrumpido el servicio en el aeródromo en mitad de uno de los fines de semana con más actividad viajera del año en Estados Unidos
A cargo plane belonging to Amazon's logistics company crashed and burst into flames on Sunday at the Miami International Airport, killing at least five people and injuring five others, according to authorities. The accident occurred as the aircraft veered off the runway after landing, crossing a busy road and crashing into several vehicles.
Five individuals were confirmed dead by the Miami Dade County Sheriff's Office, while the city's mayor reported five were injured. Fire crews from around sixty units responded to the scene to extinguish the fire. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also investigating the incident, which happened around 2:00 PM local time on September 6th, when the plane took off from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The FAA stated that Flight 7598 of 21 Air had departed from there. The airport suspended operations following the tragedy, which occurred during the Labor Day weekend, a peak travel period in the United States. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressed her condolences to the families of the victims. The cargo airline, owned by Amazon, was founded in 2015 to handle the growing demand for its deliveries.
Around 250 flights by Amazon Air depart daily from various locations worldwide, operating at 60 airports across four continents. In 2019, one of its planes crashed in a Texas swamp, with a cause determined to be pilot error, resulting in the death of all three crew members on board.
