Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

A cargo plane operated by Amazon's 21 Air crashed on Sunday, September 6, at Miami International Airport, killing at least five people and injuring five others. The Boeing 767-300 aircraft, which had taken off from San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico, veered off a runway and crashed into several vehicles, causing a fire.

The accident occurred during the Labor Day weekend, one of the busiest travel periods in the US, and prompted the suspension of air traffic at the airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and local authorities, including Miami Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz and Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, are investigating the incident.
