Harrowing footage from Sunday\u2019s crash showed the pilot struggling to get out of the downed plane as it lay burning on the airport runway, NBC Miami reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pilot drops to the ground and quickly hobbles away as spectators stare in horror at the violent crash.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Olvin Henriquez, who captured the scene as he passed by with his 4-month-old daughter, said he was stunned at the tragedy that unfolded just a few yards away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was shocking to witness all of that. Then, unexpectedly, we saw the pilot jump out of the cockpit door and run for his life as the plane rapidly burst into flames,\u201d Henriquez told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family and I quickly turned the car around, fearing the plane might explode violently,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five people died in the incident, and five others, including the pilots, were injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mere thought that, just moments earlier, my entire family could have been dragged along by the plane \u2014 as other vehicles and people unfortunately were \u2014 is terrifying,\u201d Herniquez said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The crash happened at around 2 p.m. Sunday as Prime Air Flight 7598 was landing from Puerto Rico and careened off the runway, plowing into \u201cmultiple vehicles\u201d and bursting into flames, officials said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It remains unclear why the plane, a Boeing 767 jet, was unable to stop before it ran off the runway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re heartbroken to learn that five people lost their lives in today\u2019s incident at Miami International Airport,\u201d an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cOur deepest sympathies go out to the families, loved ones, and all those affected by this devastating loss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
