  "account": "The Amazon cargo jet crash at Miami International Airport caused \"utter devastation,\" according to National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homandy. The Boeing 767-300 freighter, operated by Amazon for 21 Air, overshot the runway during landing and continued past the paved area, traveling approximately 1,300 feet. The aircraft struck several vehicles, navigational aids, and fences before coming to a stop. Five people died and at least five more were injured, with three in critical condition. Runways 2 and 4 remain closed, and the airport is experiencing reduced capacity while recovery operations are ongoing. The NTSB is investigating the accident, which may take a year or more to complete, and will examine various factors such as pilot performance, flight history, FAA oversight, and weather conditions.",
  "summary": "Freight and passenger delays could mount this week at Miami International Airport where two runways remain shut as the recovery operations and an investigation into Sunday’s deadly crash landing of an Amazon cargo jet continue.
