On a quiet Sunday afternoon in Miami, a cargo plane carrying the weight of modern commerce came to a catastrophic end on the runway it never fully reached. An Amazon Air Boeing 767-300, arriving from Puerto Rico, overshot the tarmac, caught fire, and struck vehicles on the ground — killing five people and seriously injuring five more. The incident, unfolding at one of the Southeast's busiest airports, reminds us that the vast, invisible machinery of overnight delivery is operated by human hands in mortal circumstances. Investigators now turn to the familiar questions that follow such moments:
