Prime Air Flight 7598 – Bharat Pulse News

At least five people were killed and five others injured after an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport, crossed a nearby road, struck multiple vehicles and caught fire on Sunday. Amazon Cargo Plane Overruns Miami Airport Runway Prime Air Flight 7598, operated by cargo carrier 21 Air, was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when the Boeing 767-300 overran the runway at around 2 pm local time. The aircraft continued beyond the airport boundary and collided with vehicles near the runway before flames engulfed parts of the plane. Authorities said three of the injured were in critical condition, while two others suffered less severe injuries. Officials initially said it remained unclear whether those killed were aboard the aircraft or inside vehicles struck during the crash. Pilots Rescued as Fire Crews Battle Blaze The pilot and co-pilot became trapped in the cockpit following the impact but were eventually rescued. Emergency personnel also extricated people from damaged vehicles, including one person trapped underneath a vehicle. More than 200 emergency responders were deployed to the scene. Firefighters used specialised foam to extinguish the blaze and continued dealing with a fuel leak several hours after the crash. The accident forced Miami International Airport to temporarily suspend operations, leading to widespread delays and cancellations before flights later resumed. NTSB Investigates Cause of Boeing 767 Crash The National Transportation Safety Board has launched an investigation into the accident and dispatched a team to Miami. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally manufactured as a passenger aircraft before being converted for cargo operations in 2015. Thunderstorms and wind gusts of up to 30 mph were reported around Miami at the time, although investigators have not determined whether weather conditions contributed to the crash.
