The operator of the Amazon Prime Air cargo plane that crashed in Miami, killing five people, is controlled by Houston Astros owner Jim Crane. 21 Air, a North Carolina-based all-cargo airline, is owned by Crane through an LLC, acquired in 2021. The Boeing 767 overshot a runway at Miami International Airport and struck a cleaning crew van. Former employees alleged safety complaints and protocol violations, while the company said it follows proper procedures.

Pilots Capt. Joseph Carroll and First Officer Jaime Felipe Silva Molina survived but were hospitalized. NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy and former FAA advisor Robert Joslin cited possible causes including pilot fatigue, unstable approach, and mechanical failure.
