On a Sunday afternoon in Miami, an Amazon cargo plane failed to stop at the end of a runway, crossed into terrain it was never meant to reach, and burst into flames — taking five lives and injuring five others. The event, witnessed by ordinary people going about their day, became one of those ruptures in ordinary time that reminds us how suddenly the familiar world can give way to something unrecognizable. Federal investigators now carry the weight of a question that haunts every aviation disaster: not just what failed, but why — and whether it could have been prevented.
