Amazon cargo plane overshoots Miami runway, hits vehicles, catches fire
A cargo plane operated by Amazon crashed into vehicles upon overshooting the runway during its landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, Sep 6, according to officials. Thick smoke rose from the blue and white Boeing 767 as it arrived from Puerto Rico around 2:00pm local time (1800 GMT). Fire trucks swiftly responded to the scene, with the Miami-Dade Fire Department confirming the plane, designated as Prime Air Flight 7598, had caught fire following a crash.
Firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze and tend to any injured passengers. The department reported that the plane had overrun the runway, striking multiple vehicles close to the airport. Over 60 firefighters rushed to the incident, and all of the airport's runways and taxiways were subsequently closed due to the accident.
