An Amazon cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on September 7, 2026, killing five people. The aircraft ran off the runway while landing and could not stop in time. The five people who died were in a van belonging to a team that cleans aircraft. Investigators from the NTSB, the federal agency that looks into aviation accidents, found that the pilots tried to cancel the landing before the crash. However, the pilots had already lost control of the aircraft during the landing. They also lost several seconds when they needed to act quickly. The NTSB's findings have raised serious questions about how pilots make decisions when a landing goes wrong, and what safety rules cargo airlines should follow.
