Looks like the door is open. And the fuselage looks intact, so hopefully the crew got out.
Lots of dark smoke, so something other than fuel is burning.
Amazon also crashed one near Houston a few years ago. Wasn’t it also a 767?
Safety doesn’t appear to be the highest priority for the company.
There is a limit to the number of competent flight crews and maintenance crews for the aviation industry, including cargo carriers.
An Atlas Air (flying for Amazon) crashed on approach to Houston in February 2019.
A FedEx plane returned safely after an engine explosion after takeoff from Newark NJ in March of 2025.
A UPS aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville, Kentucky in November 2025, when the left engine broke off the aircraft.
It was Atlas Air. A cargo plane. Your statement is ignorant.
Appears Multiple fatalities

KALITTA AIR HAS A PRETTY SOLID & LONG RECORD.
ALSO-—WHEN WUHAN/COVID ISSUES HIT-—NO COMMERCIAL AIRLINE WOULD GO IN TO BRING OUT AMERICANS STUCK THE.
KALITTA BROUGHT OUT 3 PLANELOADS OF PASSENGERS-—
BOLTED SEATS TO THE FLOOR OF THEIR CARGO PLANES & TOOK THE TO MARCH AFB ION RIVERSIDE,CALIF FOR PROCESSING.
IMO—THEY DESERVE A MEDAL FOR SUCH.
THIS IS THE SAME CONNIE KALITTA THAT HAS BEEN DRAG RACING FOR OVER 60 YEARS-—AND HIS TEAMS ARE STILL OUT THERE.
I remember him (his character) from “Heart Like A Wheel”.
My neighbor is a 747 pilot for Kalitta. Retired navy, speaks well of them.
I recall that there was a problem back in the 90s with counterfeit aircraft quality bolts. I wonder if it still is happening or there are some still floating around.
holy crap, that crashed airplane came to rest on a public highway ...
Wow.
Atlas Air was flying loads under contract for Amazon. Many media outlets reported the crash as an Amazon flight.
From an aviation safety viewpoint, these two get a pass. Out of the crew's control.
Someone lied about cargo weight?
The #2 engine probably hit a Tesla in the parking lot and the battery caught fire.
Still fighting that frozen capslock key, huh Sparky?
Entry door left side open.
Crew probably out and safe.
