The two pilots of an Amazon-operated Boeing 767 cargo jet have been publicly identified after their aircraft overran the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing five people on the ground. Joseph Carroll, 55, and Jaime Filipe Silva Molina, 37, have since been released from hospital, according to the Miami Herald, while investigators continue examining why the plane failed to stop before crashing into vehicles and a fence. The incident has renewed scrutiny of runway safety infrastructure at the airport, as officials confirmed it lacks a system designed to halt overshooting aircraft.

The five victims, all employees of contract airline cleaning firm Professional Ocean Service Corp, were named as Rolando Aleman, 55, Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53, Julio C Pineda, 75, Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53, and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47; three further people remain hospitalised, two in critical condition. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy said the plane, arriving from San Juan on its third flight of the day, overshot the runway by roughly 1,300 feet before striking a van and another vehicle. A preliminary FAA report noted the airport does not have the Engineered Materials Arresting System now installed at more than 120 US airports, and dispatch audio captured emergency crews confirming fatalities at the scene.
