Federal investigators probe Amazon cargo jet's fiery runway crash that killed 5 in Miami
Video of Sunday's landing appears to show the Boeing 767 remaining airborne well down the runway before touching down. Aviation experts said investigators will seek to determine exactly where the plane landed and, if it was beyond the normal touchdown zone, why the pilots did not abandon the landing and circle back for another attempt.
An Amazon cargo plane crash near Miami International Airport on Sunday left at least five people dead and five others injured. The Boeing 767 overshot the runway and came dangerously close to a lot filled with Tesla Cybercabs, sparking speculation about the purpose of the vehicles' presence at the airport. Tesla's Cybercabs are autonomous driverless taxis that have been operating in Miami since July, but the company has not officially confirmed whether the Cybercabs were being tested, transported, stored, or prepared for future use at the airport.
The presence of around 40 Cybercabs at the airport has raised questions about Tesla's plans for the city. Weather conditions, including thunderstorms and strong winds, were present when the crash occurred, but it remains unclear whether the victims were passengers, crew members, or individuals on the ground.
