MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The Boeing 767-300 cargo jet that was involved in a fatal crash while operating as Prime Air Flight 7598 at Miami International Airport was moving on Tuesday.
A team used heavy-duty specialized equipment to push and pull more than 412,000 pounds out of the Sept. 6 crash site, along Northwest 67 Avenue, and to a nearby lot.
The National Transportation Safety Board continued to investigate what caused the jet to overrun the runway after landing and crash into a van and an SUV, killing five people and injuring five others.
The jet struck seven men — Julio Pineda, Rolando Aleman, Yoel Rodriguez, Carlos Acosta, Javierkys Reyes, Roosevelt Perdomo, and Ridoel Averhoff — who were in a white 2012 Ford E-150 Econoline van at MIA.
Pineda, 75; Aleman, 55; Rodriguez, 53; Acosta, 53; and Reyes, 47, died while working for Professional Ocean Service Corp., a company that cleans planes at MIA.
Perdomo, 36, and Averhoff, 32, were injured. The jet also struck Eugenio Corredor, who was driving a Toyota Corolla Cross SUV on Northwest 67th Avenue outside of MIA.
Corredor, 79, was also injured. Joseph Carroll and Jaime Silva, the pilot and the co-pilot of the Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air for Amazon, suffered minor injuries.
Carroll, 55, and Silva, 37, were released from the hospital to face scrutiny over the crash. Perdomo, Averhoff, and Corredor remained at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Tuesday night.
