Amazon plane crashes at major U.S. cargo hub
Five people were killed in the crash of an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane at Miami International Airport, including two individuals trapped inside the vehicles it collided with, while five others were injured, some critically. The aircraft, a 32-year-old Boeing 767-300, had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and had passed the runway before it collided with ground vehicles, with a fuel leak from the plane intensifying. Miami Fire and Rescue Department dispatched more than 60 rescue units to respond to the incident, which caused all airport flights to be halted until they resumed later in the evening. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the crash, while Amazon announced that they are gathering information and cooperating with authorities, expressing their condolences to the victims’ families. This incident marks the second such accident involving an Amazon aircraft at Miami Airport, following a crash in 2019, highlighting the city’s significance as a major hub for trade with Latin America.
