FIVE PEOPLE ARE DEAD after an Amazon Air cargo jet overran the runway at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026. This update walks through the NTSB's first press briefing with Chair Jennifer Homendy — what investigators confirmed, what they flatly refused to say, and one published number about that runway that almost nobody is reporting. 21 Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767-300 freighter operating for Amazon Air, arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico and overran Runway 30 on landing. According to Chair Homendy, the aircraft struck navigational aids and equipment, then hit a van carrying seven airport contract workers INSIDE the airport perimeter, went through the perimeter fence, struck a Toyota Corolla Cross traveling on Northwest 67th Avenue, and came to rest roughly 1,300 feet past the end of the paved surface. It caught fire. Five people were killed and five injured. Those figures are attributed to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office and the county mayor — the NTSB has not issued its own casualty count. No victims have been publicly identified. — PARTNERS & SPONSORS — ▸ For business inquiries → takingoff@outloudtalent.com ▸ Serendipitous Films – Need a video for your company? → sales@s-films.com ▸ AEROVERSE – Use code TakingOff for 15% off! → https://www.aeroverse.com/ ▸ FlyingEyes Optics – Get 10% off pilot glasses → https://flyingeyesoptics.com/pages/taking-offs-discount ▸ Colten Mortgage – Residential mortgage & refi, run by a pilot! → https://www.coltenmortgage.com/takingoff ▸ XeVision – Extreme LED Landing Lights.
