  "account": "An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, overrunning the runway and setting itself ablaze. The incident occurred around 2 p.m. and prompted a significant emergency response, forcing the closure of all runways and taxiways at the busy South Florida airport. The aircraft, arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, reportedly struck multiple vehicles before coming to rest near a roadway and two semi-trucks. Over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene, finding the plane engulfed in flames. Emergency crews worked to extinguish the fire and assess any potential injuries or fatalities, though authorities had not released information on this matter. The crash prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to dispatch investigators and impose a full ground stop at the airport, disrupting air traffic and potentially causing delays even after the airport reopened. The National Transportation Safety Board is gathering information to determine the cause of the accident, and Amazon has yet to respond to requests for comment.",
