一架运营亚马逊Prime Air货运服务的波音767飞机周日下午在迈阿密国际机场降落时冲出跑道,撞毁地面车辆。12事故造成至少5人死亡,3人重伤,2人轻伤。12飞机冲出跑道约1300英尺(396米),撞毁了一辆清洁服务车和一辆SUV。2
这架32岁的波音767由北卡罗来纳州的21 Air航空公司运营,原为客运机,2015年改装为货运机。12飞机从波多黎各圣胡安降落,而正常着陆区范围仅在跑道前3000英尺(914米)内。2美国国家运输安全委员会正在调查飞机降落位置过晚、是否超出正常着陆区以及飞行员为何未决定复飞等原因。2事故发生时,该地区记录到雷暴和30英里/小时(48公里/小时)的风阵。1
事故对迈阿密机场运营造成重大影响。周日取消160班次航班,延误超过300班次;周一至中午又取消69班次。2美国国家运输安全委员会主席Jennifer Homendy率队前往现场调查,称现场为"彻底的废墟"。2迈阿密机场没有配备跑道终止系统。美国联邦航空局表示,超过120个美国机场安装了防冲出跑道的制动系统,已帮助拯救至少497条生命。1
An Amazon Prime Air cargo aircraft operated by North Carolina-based 21 Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, striking ground vehicles and catching fire 12. The crash killed at least five people, with three suffering severe injuries and two others hospitalized with minor injuries 12.
The Boeing 767, a 32-year-old aircraft converted from passenger to cargo service in 2015, touched down around 2 p.m. local time and overran the runway by approximately 1,300 feet, colliding with a cleaning service vehicle and an SUV on the ground 12. The aircraft landed beyond the normal touchdown zone, which extends 3,000 feet from the runway threshold 2. Weather conditions at the time included thunderstorms and wind gusts of 30 miles per hour, or 48 kilometers per hour 1.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, led by Chair Jennifer Homendy, have launched an inquiry into what caused the accident 12. The NTSB is examining why the aircraft touched down so far along the runway, whether the landing exceeded the designated area, and why pilots did not initiate a go-around 2. Miami International Airport does not have runway arresting systems installed 2. The Federal Aviation Administration noted that over 120 U.S. airports have installed systems designed to prevent runway overruns, which have helped save at least 497 lives 1.
The incident severely disrupted airport operations, with 160 flights canceled and more than 300 delayed on Sunday, and an additional 69 cancellations reported through midday Monday 2.
