BTW, for anyone else curious, and/or flying, using AI sourced to the NYT...

“Miami International Airport (MIA) does not have an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) on its runways, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed.”

Wonder why the tower offered that particular runway.

Likely to separate taxiing cargo aircraft from passenger aircraft, and to allow the cargo aircraft to be closer to its loading and unloading area. The airplane crashed into the parking lot of the Amazon warehouse.
