Stunning Footage Captures Amazon Boeing 767’s Fiery Plunge Off Miami Runway—What Caused the Horror?
Authorities have not yet released a full explanation of what caused the aircraft to continue past the runway.
The Boeing 767 was operated by 21 Air, a cargo airline based in Miami that performs flights for companies including Amazon and DHL
Amazon confirmed that the aircraft was one of its Amazon Air planes.
“We can confirm that an Amazon Air plane operated by 21 Air experienced an incident while attempting to land at Miami International Airport today,” Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement to CNN.
She added that the company was still trying to understand what happened.
“This is a fast-moving situation, and we’re still gathering details. We’re working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened.”
Nantel also said the company was focused on those affected by the crash.
“Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved. We’re doing everything we can to support those affected.”

The crash also highlights a type of aviation accident known as a runway excursion.
This happens when an aircraft leaves the designated runway area during takeoff or landing.
According to data from the International Air Transport Association, runway excursions are the most common type of aircraft incident worldwide.
Airports such as Miami International have designated safety areas around runways. These areas act as a buffer if an aircraft goes beyond the paved surface.
In this case, however, the aircraft continued far enough to reach a road outside the airport and collide with vehicles.
“Boeing is doing last mile deliveries now,” wrote one netizen
