Why it matters
The incident involves a major logistics provider and raises significant aviation safety concerns regarding airport operations.
A deadly plane crash in Miami on Sunday left a trail of “utter devastation,” the National Transportation Safety Board said as it began its investigation into the incident.
NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy told a news conference Monday the plane was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The Amazon-contracted Boeing 767-300 overran runway 30 on landing, struck navigational aids and equipment, then struck a 2012 white Ford Econoline owned by Ocean Service Corporation, a contract cleaning company for the airlines. Seven people were in the vehicle.
The aircraft then hit a Toyota Corolla Cross LE before continuing into a grassy field. It then hit another fence that closed off an area where Tesla robotaxies were stationed.
