The article is a brief Al Jazeera video-news report about a fatal aviation accident in Miami. It presents footage showing an Amazon Prime plane as it overran a runway, failed to stop within the airport’s runway area, and crash-landed while skidding into a car park. The report states that at least five people were killed in the incident.
The central focus is the recorded moment of the aircraft’s runway overrun and its subsequent movement into the airport car park. The wording emphasizes the visible sequence rather than providing a detailed investigation or broader account of the accident. It does not identify the aircraft model, the exact airport, the victims, or the circumstances that caused the plane to leave the runway. It also does not provide information about survivors, injuries beyond the reported fatalities, emergency services, damage to vehicles or airport facilities, or any official explanation.
The item was published on 7 September 2026 and is framed as a news video intended to show viewers what happened. Its concise presentation communicates the seriousness of the crash through the description of the plane skidding into a car park and the report of at least five deaths. Because the supplied text contains only a headline, a short caption, and publication information, conclusions about the cause, responsibility, or full consequences of the accident cannot be drawn from this article alone. The available account establishes the location as Miami, identifies the aircraft as an Amazon Prime plane, and records the immediate outcome described by the publisher: a runway overrun, a crash landing, and multiple fatalities.

An Amazon Air cargo plane crashed while attempting to land at Miami International Airport, killing five people and seriously injuring five others. The Boeing 767-300, operated by North Carolina-based charter company 21 Air, had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It reportedly overshot Miami airport’s diagonal runway shortly before 14:00 local time and struck several vehicles on the ground before coming to rest near a parking lot serving an Amazon warehouse and other businesses.
The aircraft caught fire, producing heavy flames and smoke. More than 200 firefighters responded, extinguished the blaze, and rescued people trapped inside or beneath vehicles. However, a fuel leak remained at the site. Three of the five injured people were in critical condition, while the others were hospitalized with injuries that had not yet been specified.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said rescue crews reached the crash site within seconds and emphasized that officials were focused on victims, their families, and the emergency response. Fire Chief Raied Jadallah said it was too early to determine the cause. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate and planned to hold a news conference.
The Federal Aviation Administration ordered flights grounded as emergency crews worked at the airport. Many flights were subsequently canceled or delayed during the busy Labor Day travel weekend, leaving passengers frustrated and forcing some to stay overnight in Miami. Flight-tracking data indicated that the aircraft was traveling at 112 knots as it exited the usable runway. FlightRadar24 reported light thunderstorms and gusting winds at the time, but no cause had been established.
Amazon expressed condolences and said it would cooperate fully with authorities. The BBC reported that it had contacted 21 Air but had not received a response.

Officials are investigating a deadly incident in which an Amazon cargo plane overran the runway after attempting to land at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The Boeing 767-300, operated by North Carolina-based charter company 21 Air, crossed a road beyond the runway and struck several vehicles near an Amazon warehouse and other businesses. Five people were killed and five others seriously injured, although authorities have not yet determined whether the victims were aboard the aircraft, on the ground, or both. Three of the injured were in critical condition, and some were trapped inside or beneath vehicles before being rescued by emergency crews.
More than 200 firefighters responded after the aircraft burst into flames. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said rescue teams arrived within seconds, while Miami Fire Chief Raied Jadallah described the rescue operation. The cause remains unknown and is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board, which planned to hold a news conference. Investigators are expected to examine video of the landing, including whether the plane touched down within the proper runway zone and what occurred afterward.
Flight-tracking data indicated that the aircraft was travelling at 112 knots as it left the usable runway. FlightRadar24 also reported light thunderstorms and gusting winds at the time. The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily grounded all flights at Miami International Airport, causing cancellations, delays and long queues during the busy Labor Day travel period. The airport is a major international gateway, particularly for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Amazon and 21 Air expressed condolences and said they were cooperating with authorities. Witnesses described a black cloud, a strong unfamiliar smell, mangled vehicles, and a large emergency response. The aircraft had departed San Juan, Puerto Rico, before the crash.

An Amazon-contracted Boeing 767-300 cargo jet crashed while landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026, after overrunning the runway by approximately 1,300 feet. The aircraft was operated by 21 Air LLC as Prime Air Flight 7598 and had arrived from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was making its third flight of the day.
According to Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, the plane struck a 2021 Ford Econoline van operated by Professional Ocean Service Corp., a contract airline-cleaning company. The van had seven people aboard. The aircraft then broke through the airport’s perimeter fence and hit a Toyota Corolla Cross outside the airport boundary. The NTSB said all of the fatalities came from the two vehicles. At least five people died and at least five others were injured.
The plane continued through another fence and slid into an area where Tesla robotaxis were stationed before coming to a stop. Homendy described the crash site as “utter devastation,” with debris scattered throughout the area. Investigators recovered the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder and planned to transport them to NTSB headquarters for evaluation. The investigation is expected to remain at the site for at least a week, and officials said they were not yet determining probable cause.
The NTSB also plans to examine the contractual and operational relationship between Amazon and 21 Air, including their respective responsibilities and safety requirements. Two of Miami International Airport’s four runways remained closed after the crash, causing major travel disruptions during a busy holiday weekend. More than 160 flights were canceled and nearly 325 delayed by late Sunday, with additional delays continuing Monday. The airport is the busiest U.S. airport for international freight.

An Amazon cargo aircraft operated by 21 Air crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday after overrunning the runway while landing at approximately 2 p.m. local time, or 18:00 GMT. The Boeing 767-300 had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and struck vehicles before catching fire. Miami-Dade County officials said at least five people were killed, three were critically injured, and two others suffered less severe injuries. Authorities said it was not yet clear whether the fatalities were people aboard the aircraft or individuals in vehicles hit during the crash.
The accident produced thick black smoke and trapped the pilot and copilot in the cockpit, along with some people in cars. The plane came to rest on its belly and remained largely intact despite the fire. Firefighters continued responding to a fuel leak several hours after the incident, while approximately 250 flights were delayed at the airport by late Sunday afternoon.
The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a team to investigate the runway excursion, while the Federal Aviation Administration reported the initial details of the accident. The aircraft was a 32-year-old Boeing 767 originally built as a passenger plane and converted for cargo use in 2015. Amazon expressed condolences to those affected and said it would cooperate with investigators.
An eyewitness who operates an electronics store near the airport described seeing smoke rise near the airport fences after hearing the crash. The investigation is expected to determine why the aircraft overran the runway and whether any operational, mechanical, or environmental factors contributed to the accident.

An Amazon Prime Air cargo aircraft crashed while landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, September 6, 2026, killing at least five people and injuring five others. Prime Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767-300 operated for Amazon by cargo carrier 21 Air, had departed San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shortly before 2 p.m. local time, the 32-year-old freighter ran off the airport’s diagonal runway while traveling at approximately 207 kilometers per hour and struck several vehicles on the ground.
At least two people were trapped inside vehicles hit by the aircraft, while the pilot and co-pilot remained trapped in the wreckage. Miami-Dade Fire Chief Ray Jadallah said five people were injured, including three who were in critical condition. More than 60 rescue units and approximately 200 emergency personnel responded. Crews were also managing an active fuel leak from the aircraft several hours after the crash. The airport temporarily halted all flights, although two of its four runways had reopened by Sunday evening.
Photographs showed the plane resting with its nose on the ground and its tail raised, with scorch marks visible along its right side. The aircraft had previously served as a passenger plane for several airlines before being converted into a freighter.
The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched an investigative team led by chairwoman Jennifer Homendy. Boeing and 21 Air said they would support the investigation, while Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said the company’s priority was the safety and care of everyone involved. 21 Air expressed condolences to the victims’ families.
The crash is the latest fatal accident involving an aircraft operating for Amazon Prime Air. In February 2019, Atlas Air Flight 3591, another Boeing 767-300 freighter flying for Amazon, crashed into Trinity Bay, Texas, killing all three people aboard.

Kick streamer Binx is facing widespread criticism after appearing to photograph herself near the wreckage of an Amazon cargo plane that crashed at Miami International Airport on September 6, killing five people and injuring five others. Three of the injured were reportedly in critical condition. The Boeing 767-300 was operated by 21 Air for Amazon Prime Air and had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, as Prime Air Flight 7598. It reportedly overran the runway at about 2 p.m., crossed a road, struck several vehicles and caught fire.
Hours after the crash, Binx approached the damaged aircraft while livestreaming. Online footage appears to show her moving close to the plane’s burned nose and wings and asking someone to take a photograph. Reports said she crossed a barrier before reaching the wreckage. A man later confronted the group, saying they were on private property, after which Binx reportedly apologised and left.
The apparent photo prompted angry reactions online, with critics describing the act as disrespectful and heartless because people had died at the scene only hours earlier. The incident also raised questions about whether Binx unlawfully entered a restricted airport or aircraft area. The article cites 49 U.S.C. §46314, a federal law that can impose prison sentences for knowingly violating certain aircraft-security restrictions, although it has not been established that the law applies to Binx or that she will face charges.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said emergency crews responded within seconds, with more than 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units and approximately 200 emergency personnel involved. The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the cause of the crash, and officials have not determined whether weather, the landing or another factor contributed. It also remains unclear whether those killed were aboard the plane or on the ground.

NPR’s Up First briefing leads with a deadly cargo-plane crash at Miami International Airport. An Amazon Prime Air flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, overran the runway while landing, struck vehicles on the ground and killed five people while injuring five others. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating, with possible factors including mechanical problems, crew performance and weather. The crash is unusual because Miami’s long runways do not have an Engineered Materials Arresting System designed to stop overrunning aircraft.
The briefing also reports on meetings between Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. The discussions were described as substantive, but produced no breakthrough. Efforts to restart peace talks between Ukraine and Russia remain stalled, with Russia demanding that Ukraine surrender territory and most Ukrainians opposing that condition.
In Germany, the far-right Alternative for Germany party won a state election in Saxony-Anhalt, narrowly missing an outright majority. The result could allow the party to form Germany’s first far-right regional government since the Nazi era, although its governing prospects remain uncertain. The victory is described as a major setback for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had promised to reduce the AfD’s support. The party promotes “remigration,” including mass deportations, and is classified as extremist by German domestic intelligence in the state.
