Amazon suspends partnership with cargo firm after Miami runway crash

A jet designated “21” overshot the end of runway 12R at Miami International Airport on Thursday afternoon, breaching the runway safety area and colliding with a cluster of ground‑service vehicles parked beyond the paved surface. Airport officials reported that the aircraft, which was conducting a scheduled passenger flight, failed to decelerate after touchdown, causing the aircraft to travel beyond the runway’s designated stopping point before striking the vehicles. Emergency responders were dispatched immediately, and the runway was closed to inbound traffic while the incident was assessed.

Preliminary statements from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board indicated that investigators are reviewing flight data, weather conditions, and runway surface reports to determine the cause of the overrun. No injuries to passengers, crew, or ground personnel were reported at the time of the incident, and all passengers were safely evacuated. The airport resumed limited operations later in the evening after the jet was towed away and the affected area cleared, while a full safety audit of runway 12R is slated to begin in the coming days.
