At Least Five Killed in Amazon Cargo Plane Crash in Miami. Here's What We Know So Far The crash of an Amazon cargo plane in Miami last week has left at least five people dead, with five others critically injured.
The incident raises questions about the safety record of Amazon Air and its contracted carriers. Amazon contracts out its cargo flights to companies like 21 Air, which has a poor safety record.
In fact, 21 Air operates eight planes for Amazon Air, while another contractor, Air Transport International, runs about 40.
