At least five people have been killed following a fiery cargo-plane crash at Miami International Airport.
Date: September 7, 2026
Prime Air Flight 7598, an Amazon cargo flight operated by 21 Air, was landing in Miami after traveling from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday afternoon.
The Boeing 767-300 overran the runway, crossed an airport service road and collided with multiple vehicles before catching fire.
Miami-Dade officials reported five deaths and five injuries. Three of the injured remained in critical condition when authorities delivered their initial update.
More than 200 emergency personnel responded to the scene while crews worked to extinguish the fire, manage leaking fuel and rescue people trapped inside the aircraft and vehicles.
The crash forced Miami International Airport to temporarily close its runways, producing hundreds of cancellations and delays.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating. No official cause has been established, and the identities of those killed had not been publicly released when this report was prepared.
