Probe begins into why cargo plane overran Miami runway
Investigators are examining whether the Boeing 767 touched down too late, as officials said 5 people were killed and 5 others were injured.
- An Amazon cargo jet overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, plowing into a nearby road and killing five people after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
- Investigators are examining whether the plane touched down too late to stop safely; aviation expert Mary Schiavo noted a tail wind could have contributed to the aircraft floating further down the 3,000-foot landing zone.
- The 32-year-old aircraft was operated by 21 Air, a carrier based in North Carolina, while Miami International Airport lacks FAA-approved arresting systems credited with saving at least 497 lives at more than 120 other airports.
- Some 200 emergency personnel responded to the wreckage, extinguishing flames and managing fuel leaks, while the disruption caused more than 160 flight cancellations and nearly 325 delays by late Sunday.
- The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team led by Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy to Miami, where she is expected to provide the agency's first briefing on the investigation on Monday.
