BREAKING: Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes at Miami International Airport, 5 Confirmed Dead

 

Tragedy struck the aviation sector on Sunday, September 6, 2026, as a major aircraft disaster unfolded in the United States. An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane, operated by contract carrier 21 Air, violently overshot the runway while landing at the busy Miami International Airport (MIA) in Florida.

The horrifying incident has left five people confirmed dead and another five sustaining severe, life-threatening injuries.

How the Miami Airport Cargo Plane Crash Happened

The aircraft—a massive Boeing 767-300 freighter operating as Flight 7598—was arriving from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. At approximately 2:00 PM local time, the plane botched its landing, barreled completely past the airport perimeter, and violently rammed into multiple civilian vehicles along Northwest 42nd Avenue. 

The impact caused a catastrophic explosion, sending thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky.

Intense Search and Rescue Operations

First responders from the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived at the crash site in under 30 seconds. Over 60 specialized fire units and roughly 200 rescue personnel were deployed to contain the raging inferno. Fire crews had to utilize specialized airport firefighting foam to suppress the engine fires while simultaneously battling a volatile fuel leak.

The pilot and co-pilot were trapped inside the mangled cockpit, forcing technical rescue squads to launch a delicate extrication operation to save them. Meanwhile, paramedics worked frantically to pull heavily injured victims from the crushed vehicles on the road.

Flight Disruptions and Investigation

The tragic accident prompted federal authorities to enforce an immediate, full ground stop at Miami International Airport, disrupting hundreds of flights during the busy holiday travel weekend. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) alongside the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
