Summary

A Boeing 767-300 freighter operated by 21 Air for Amazon overran the runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026, striking two vehicles on the ground and killing five people. The aircraft was traveling at approximately 130-184 mph (reports differ on exact speed) when it left the runway. According to the National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report, multiple factors contributed to the accident: the jet's thrust reversers did not deploy, speed brakes were retracted, and an air traffic controller failed to alert the pilots to strong tail winds as required by FAA procedures. Voice recordings showed a pilot called for a go-around 15 seconds before impact, and the first officer had warned about excessive speed shortly before touchdown. The 32-year-old aircraft, originally built as a passenger jet and converted to cargo in 2016, was on its third flight of the day, returning from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The crash resulted in five deaths and multiple injuries. Amazon suspended its partnership with 21 Air following the incident. The NTSB investigation is ongoing and no final cause has been determined.
