Amazon Air Boeing 767 overruns Miami runway, killing five Cuban workers
Based on · First reported
Sources
- A Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air for Amazon Air was traveling at 177 knots (327 km/h) when it was 105 feet (32 m) above the runway at Miami International Airport and later touched down 3,750 feet (1.1 km) beyond the runway threshold at a ground speed of 160 knots (296 km/h).
- Four minutes before landing clearance, the south tower warned another aircraft of 35 km/h winds with gusts up to 41 km/h, but flight 7598 was not on that frequency; the tower then cleared the flight to land without providing wind direction or speed, and the aircraft overran the runway, striking a truck carrying seven cleaning workers, five of whom were Cuban nationals who died.
- Amazon suspended its relationship with 21 Air following the accident.
