Federal regulators reported that the crew aboard the Amazon cargo jet, which crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, survived the accident. The incident involved the cargo plane overrunning the runway and catching fire during landing.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) shared this update at a Sunday press conference. The crash resulted in the deaths of five individuals and injuries to five others.
“The jet collided with two vehicles, one of which was a van used for cleaning services within the airport perimeter. Eight occupants were in these vehicles,” stated NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy.
A civilian vehicle was also hit as the plane breached the airport perimeter. This remains a developing story with updates expected.
