The aircraft overran the runway on Sunday afternoon (local time) and caught fire. According to the fire brigade, it struck several vehicles. Initially, no detailed information was available about the fatalities, leaving it unclear whether the victims were members of the crew or people on the ground.<\/p>\n
No detailed information was available about the injured either; it was only reported that one person had been trapped beneath a vehicle.<\/p>\n
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on X that the Boeing 767-300 overran the runway after landing at Miami International Airport. The aircraft had departed Luis Mu\u00f1oz Mar\u00edn International Airport in San Juan on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
Region popular with tourists<\/p>\n
Miami International Airport temporarily suspended air traffic, it announced on X. The region in Florida is very popular with tourists. It was later reported that one runway had reopened, but passengers were advised to check with their respective airlines. Many Americans were travelling over the weekend because of a public holiday on Monday. Miami is one of the major airports in the US.<\/p>\n
The aircraft was operating on behalf of the online retailer Amazon. An Amazon spokeswoman wrote on X that there had been an incident during the landing attempt. She said the company was working closely with the authorities to understand exactly what had happened. She added that the company was deeply shocked that five people had lost their lives.<\/p>\n
Amazon operates its own cargo airline to transport parcels more quickly over long distances. It remained unclear whether the aircraft was carrying freight. According to Amazon, the flight was operated by a partner airline.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By DPA Published September 7, 2026 At least five people have died following an accident involving an Amazon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[418,4188,1109,20622,21886,44554,5,6],"class_list":["post-119188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-uk","tag-amazon","tag-beauty","tag-fashion","tag-luxury","tag-network","tag-professionals","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/117229211177475063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
