  "account": "Miami officials have recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from an Amazon cargo plane that overran the runway, striking two vehicles and killing five people, authorities announced on Monday. One of the vehicles involved was an Econoline van carrying seven individuals on airport premises, according to NTSB chief Jennifer Homendy. The plane then breached a perimeter fence, colliding with an SUV on a public road and striking another fence line where robotaxis were parked. While Homendy declined to disclose the pilots' condition, she confirmed that the victims were exclusively those in the two struck vehicles. Officials intend to interview the crew, and recovery operations are ongoing.\n\nThe devastating scene at Florida's busiest airport saw hundreds of flights delayed as investigators probed the crash site and emergency responders continued to recover remains. The NTSB received the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, which were sent for analysis. The plane, a 1994 Boeing 767 operated by 21 Air LLC and contracted to Amazon, was on its third flight of the day and had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico. It had traveled approximately 1,300 feet beyond the runway's paved surface before coming to a halt. Homendy described the area beyond the runway as strewn with debris, fuel, and the destroyed Econoline van.",
