Miami-Dade County prosecutors filed the charges on July 13, 2000, at the time declaring the crash of ValuJet Flight 592 into Florida's Everglades was not an accident but a crime.

ValuJet Flight 592, with 110 people on board, crashed into the Everglades after taking off from Miami International Airport on May 11, 1996.

Twenty years ago, ValuJet Flight 592 took off from Miami’s airport and then plunged into the muck after a fire in the cargo hold.
