Here’s what to know:

Flight delays

More than 40 flights were canceled and more than 30 delayed as of early Tuesday morning.

Two of MIA’s four runways continue to be shut down after an Amazon Cargo plane overshot the runway and crashed into two several vehicles on Sunday, killing five people.

Some flights schedued to arrive at MIA continue to be diverted to other airports around Florida, including Fort Lauderdale.

The closed runways won’t be reopened until the plane can be removed, according to the chairperson of the National transportation Safety Board.

“First of all, we need to document the scene. We need to get access to the aircraft itself. We do not have that yet,” Jennifer Homendy said Monday.

Crash investigation

More than 30 investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board have arrived in Miami. They will be combing the crash scene, reviewing data and interviewing the crew and others.

NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said that the agency will have a news briefing on Tuesday, but said no findings will be announced until the investigation is complete.

Homendy said as the plane overshot the runway by 1,300 feet, it struck navigational equipment, hit a cleaning van fille with workers, went through a perimeter fence, hit an occupied Toyota SUV on Northwest 67th Avenue and went through another fence before coming to a stop at lot filled with Tesla robotaxis.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office hasn’t released updates on the conditions of those who were injured in the crash or the names of the injured or dead.

What about an airport barrier?

Why did the Amazon cargo plane bust through the airport border and crash into a street?

Investigators will determine that.

But the Miami airport doesn’t have a safety feature y MIA does not have a runway safety feature known as an engineered materials arresting system. It’s a crushable, lightweight material at the end of a runway that can slow down a plane in case of emergency.

Jennifer Homendy, chairperson of the National Transportation Safety Board, said 72 U.S. airports have EMAS.

“Runway 12/30 at Miami International Airport has the full 1,000-foot Runway Safety Area mandated by the FAA,” said a Miami International Airport Monday night statement. “Engineered Materials Arresting Systems, or EMAS, are generally used at airports where space constraints prevent a full safety area from being provided. No U.S. airport has EMAS at a runway end that also maintains the full, unobstructed 1,000-foot safety area. EMAS is intended as an alternative, not as an additional layer on top of one.

The FAA says EMAS are placed at the far end of a runway. The material crushes as a speeding plane passes over it, “slowing it down considerably faster than open space.”
