Summary

A Boeing 767-300 freighter operated by 21 Air for Amazon overran the runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026, striking vehicles on the tarmac and killing five people. The aircraft was traveling at approximately 130-184 mph (reports differ on exact speed) when it left the runway. The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report identifies multiple contributing factors: the thrust reversers did not deploy, speed brakes were retracted, and an FAA air traffic controller failed to provide required wind information to the pilots about strong tail winds, though the controller had provided such information to another flight. Cockpit voice recordings indicate a pilot called for a go-around 15 seconds before impact, and the first officer had warned about excessive speed. The 32-year-old aircraft was on its third flight of the day, returning from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Five people died, with reports indicating three critical injuries and two hospitalizations among ground personnel. Amazon suspended its partnership with 21 Air following the crash. The NTSB investigation remains ongoing with no final cause determination yet made.
