Footage shows a cargo plane overshoot the runway while trying to land at Miami's international airport

The five people killed and five injured when an Amazon cargo plane crashed on landing at Miami International Airport were in two vehicles on the ground, investigators said.

The Boeing 767-300, operated by 21 Air, overshot the runway on Sunday and hit an airline cleaning van holding seven people before breaking the perimeter fence and striking a Toyota SUV with three inside.

The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered and are being sent to NTSB headquarters for evaluation.
