5 Killed After Plane Overshoots Miami Runway Are Identified

The five people killed when an Amazon cargo jet ran off the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday were all inside a van used to shuttle crews that clean planes. It was owned by Professional Ocean Service Corp., and the company said Tuesday it wouldn't comment on the crash out of respect for the families who lost loved ones. The AP reports the Miami-Dade sheriff identified the deceased as Rolando Aleman Leon, 55; Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53; Julio C. Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47. "Our employees are far more than the people who work beside us each day, they are family, and they are deeply loved," the company said in a statement Tuesday.

A relative tells NBC News Leon and his coworkers had reached the end of their shift when the plane slammed into the van on airport property, careened through a fence and then smashed into an SUV on a city street. Five other people were injured. The pilot and co-pilot have been released from the hospital, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Tuesday. Two people remain in critical condition, while a third is in stable condition, she said. (The airport does not have an overrun barrier.)
