Federal investigators began work Monday to determine why an Amazon cargo jet ran off a runway and crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, killing five people and injuring five others.
Video footage showed the aircraft wobbling slightly as it approached. It appeared to come in fast and land far along the runway, while storm clouds were visible behind it.
Those images prompted expert theories that the Boeing 767 may have touched down at too high a speed and too far down the runway to stop in time. The investigation is still focused on determining what caused the crash.
