The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that Air Flight 7598 overran the runway after landing at the airport around 2 p.m. ET on Sunday. The plane, a Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft, departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Miami Fire Rescue chief Raied Jadallah said that “the plane swiped several vehicles and trapped people inside who had to be extricated,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
“What we found was a very complex situation here,” he said.
In February 2019, an Amazon Air jet crashed into the Trinity Bay marshland in February 2019, killing three people on board, the New York Times reported. The FAA at the time declared that the crash stemmed from pilot error.
