Amazon cargo plane overruns runway at Miami airport

An Amazon cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The plane, a Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air for Amazon, had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico. It struck multiple vehicles on the ground, burst into flames and sent thick black smoke into the sky.

At least five people were killed and five more injured in the incident, according to New Straits Times. The Business Times reported that three of the injured were in critical condition.

All runways and taxiways at the Miami airport were initially closed, but two of four runways have since reopened. Travellers were warned to expect significant delays and potential cancellations. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted the warning on social platform X.
