The Unseen Victims of Runway Overruns: When Safety Measures Fail The recent crash at Miami International Airport, where an Amazon cargo jet veered off the runway and crashed into a van used by plane cleaners, killing five people, highlights the ongoing risk of human error and inadequate safety measures in aviation.
Despite advances in technology, recurring runway overruns have led to multiple fatalities, raising questions about accountability and the implementation of critical safety protocols.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy has emphasized that regulatory recommendations must be implemented to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
