An Amazon cargo jet operated by 21 Air crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday after overswating the runway, resulting in five deaths and five injuries. Video evidence and expert analysis suggest the Boeing 767 landed too far down the runway in stormy conditions, potentially aided by tailwinds, and lacked arresting beds to safely stop. Federal investigators have launched an inquiry while airport operations faced significant disruptions, including flight cancellations and diversions.
