Probe begins into why cargo plane overran Miami runway

An investigation is underway to determine the cause of an Amazon cargo plane's overshoot of the runway at Miami International Airport, resulting in a deadly crash on Sunday. Five individuals lost their lives and five more suffered severe injuries when the Boeing 767-300, operated by 21 Air, crossed a road beyond the runway and hit several vehicles on the ground.

The identities of those killed and injured remain unknown. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava stated that at least five people have lost their lives, while five others are injured, with three in critical condition. Rescue crews arrived at the scene almost instantly after the crash, which was witnessed by local residents who described a black cloud and an acrid smell.

Flight data shows the plane was traveling at 112 knots (129mph, 207km/h) as it exited the usable runway. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation, which is expected to hold a news conference on Monday. All flights at the busy airport were temporarily grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) due to the incident, which occurred during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
