Both crashes highlighted Miami’s role as a cargo hub to the Caribbean and Latin America. The crash of a cargo plane in Miami on Sunday that killed five people echoed an earlier crash that also killed five at Miami International Airport in August 1997. As with Sunday’s tragedy, that plane crash highlighted Miami’s role as a cargo hub serving the Caribbean and Latin America. It also highlighted potential risks at the busy airport, which is located in central Miami-Dade County and surrounded by warehouses, office parks and residential neighborhoods. Drivers trapped in gridlocked traffic around the Miami airport often watch passenger and cargo jets landing or taking off just above the roofs of their vehicles.
