5 people killed in Amazon cargo plane crash in Florida identified<\/p>\n

\"DanielleMIAMI \u2014<\/p>\n

The five people killed when an Amazon cargo jet ran off the runway at Miami International Airport were all inside a van used to get to planes to clean them, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The jet crashed as it tried to land Sunday afternoon, overrunning its runway. It slammed into the van on airport property, through a fence and then on to a local street where it destroyed an SUV.<\/p>\n

The five people killed have been identified by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office as Rolando Aleman Leon, 55; Yoel Rodriguez Narajo, 53; Julio C. Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and Javier Reyes, 47.<\/p>\n

Five other people were injured. The pilot and co-pilot have been released from the hospital, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Tuesday. Two people remain in critical condition and a third is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. One focus will be on the lack of a system to slow and stop speeding jets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"5 people killed in Amazon cargo plane crash in Florida identified MIAMI \u2014 The five people killed when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[157092,156712,157008,2954,4204,20329,157085,23714,157082,157087,157097,2680,155805,89135,28,30,29,157089,157090,77897,6686,123,1063,157095,26203,157088,26446,157094,660,670,992,18446,157086,157093,157096,10255,157083,157084,14439,25638,117823,1464,14822,732,16915,6411,1045,221,224,157091,189],"class_list":["post-393815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-airport-crash","tag-amazon-cargo-plane","tag-amazon-cargo-plane-crash","tag-area","tag-authority","tag-aviation-incident","tag-black-box","tag-black-smoke","tag-cargo-plane-crash","tag-cleaning-van","tag-co-pilot","tag-critical-condition","tag-fatal-plane-crash","tag-fields","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-grace-mercado","tag-jennifer-l-homendy","tag-jet","tag-late-headline","tag-miami","tag-miami-international-airport","tag-miami-international-airport-sunday","tag-miami-dade-sheriff","tag-northwest-67th-avenue","tag-ntsb","tag-nw-67th-avenue","tag-office","tag-other","tag-people","tag-pilot","tag-pilot-escape","tag-plane-collision","tag-rolando-aleman-leon","tag-runway","tag-runway-overshoot","tag-runway-overshot","tag-shnd","tag-stable-condition","tag-third","tag-tuesday","tag-van","tag-vehicle","tag-vehicle-crash","tag-victim","tag-video","tag-weather","tag-witness","tag-witness-video","tag-wpbf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
