Story summary
On September 6, a Boeing 767 operated by 21 Air overshot the runway at Miami International Airport, hitting two vehicles, killing five people and injuring five others. The crash involved workers from an aircraft cleaning company traveling to their jobs. In response, Amazon has suspended its operations with 21 Air, which had been transporting packages for Amazon since 2024. An Amazon spokesperson stated that the decision was made after reviewing circumstances surrounding the incident and supporting the ongoing investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The company emphasized safety as a top priority, but noted this action would not impact Amazon customers directly.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
