Five dead after Amazon cargo plane crashes at Miami airport

An Amazon Air cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport resulted in five fatalities and five serious injuries, according to local authorities. The Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and overshot the runway while attempting to land on Sunday afternoon.

The crash also damaged several vehicles on the ground. Amazon has stated that they are "working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened". All flights were grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as fire crews rushed to the burning crash site. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava informed the public that at least five people have lost their lives, and five others are injured, with three in critical condition.

Rescue crews arrived at the scene "within seconds" of the crash, and several injured individuals were trapped inside or under vehicles and required extraction by fire and rescue teams. The cause of the crash remains unknown, and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident, with a news conference scheduled for Monday.
