Amazon cargo plane overran runway at Miami International Airport, killing five people on the ground.
An Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 cargo jet operated by 21 Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport on September 7, 2026, after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The plane struck a van carrying aircraft cleaning crew members, killing five, then crashed through a fence and hit an SUV on a public street. The NTSB investigation found that one pilot repeatedly warned of excessive speed, automated cockpit warnings sounded, and the crew briefly attempted a go-around after touchdown before the plane careened off the runway end.

The split, in one line
Wire services and broadcast outlets stick to NTSB preliminary findings and victim identification. Daily Wire diverges sharply, declaring pilots are responsible and framing the carrier's hiring practices as the story.
