Five killed as Amazon cargo plane overruns runway at Miami airport
This is terrifying. Flying is generally safe, but cargo accidents always seem to hit the news harder.
Runway overruns are surprisingly common with heavy cargo planes. Weather and brake issues are usually to blame.
How many people were on the ground when this happened? I hope no innocent bystanders were hurt.
Devastating news. Five lives lost in such a preventable way is heartbreaking for everyone involved.
