Investigators are still looking into why an Amazon cargo plane went off the runway in Miami.

调查人员仍在调查一架亚马逊货运飞机在迈阿密冲出跑道的原因。

The accident happened on Sunday.

事故发生在周日。

The plane hit a van, then broke through a fence and hit an SUV on a public street.

飞机撞上一辆面包车后，又撞穿围栏，撞上公共街道上的一辆越野车。

Five cleaning workers in the van died, and two people survived.

飞行员和副驾驶也活了下来。

The head of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, Jennifer Homendy, called the scene "a mess."

美国国家运输安全委员会主席詹妮弗·霍门迪称现场“一片狼藉”。

The plane landed two hours after leaving Puerto Rico. There was a storm near the airport.

飞机从波多黎各起飞两小时后降落，当时机场周围有暴风雨。

The plane went about 1,300 feet past the end of the runway. That is about 396 meters.

飞机冲出跑道尽头约1300英尺，约合396米。

Experts watched the landing video. They said a strong tailwind may have pushed the plane far past the planned landing point.

专家查看降落视频后表示，强顺风可能推动飞机远超预定着陆点。

The accident closed Miami airport for several hours on Sunday.

事故导致迈阿密机场周日关闭数小时。

Officials said more than 225 flights were canceled, and hundreds more were delayed.

The five victims were in a van from Professional Ocean Service Corp, a company that cleans planes.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office has identified the victims.

The plane involved was a Boeing 767, built in 1991. It was first used for passengers and then changed into a cargo plane in 2015.

涉事飞机为波音767，1991年制造，最初用于客运，2015年改装为货机。

The last flight was operated by the cargo company 21 Air.

最后一次飞行由21 Air货运公司执飞。

This is the second cargo plane crash in the United States in less than a year.

这是美国不到一年内第二起货机坠毁事件。

One focus of the investigation is that the airport lacks a system to slow planes. This system is needed at the end of the runway.

调查焦点之一是机场缺乏跑道尽头减速系统。

Homendy said the committee had suggested installing these systems before. But planes still keep going off the runway.

霍门迪表示，委员会过去曾建议安装这些系统，但冲出跑道事件仍在继续发生。
