Federal investigators are investigating the crash of an Amazon cargo plane that killed five people and injured five others at Miami airport. The plane overshot the runway and crashed into multiple vehicles.

The Amazon plane crashed because it didn't touch down in time and kept flying down the runway. This caused it to crash into cars and other things.
