Investigators have begun examining why an Amazon cargo aircraft overran the runway after landing at Miami International Airport, an accident in which five people died and five others were injured.
The plane left the runway on arrival. The initial account of the incident does not identify those who were killed or hurt, nor does it set out the type of aircraft, the flight involved, or whether the casualties were among those on board, on the ground, or both.
