The crew members on board an Amazon cargo aircraft that crashed Sunday at Miami International Airport survived the incident, federal aviation investigators said.
The National Transportation Safety Board shared the update at a Sunday news conference, after officials reported that the cargo jet went past the runway during landing and burst into flames. Authorities said the Miami airport crash left five people dead and five others injured.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the jet struck two vehicles that together were carrying at least eight people.
Investigators said seven of the victims were inside a van operating within the airport’s secured area and used by airline cleaning crews. A separate civilian vehicle was also hit after the aircraft broke through the airport perimeter.
