  "account": "An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, resulting in at least five fatalities and five injuries, according to officials. The Boeing 767-300, operated by Amazon for cargo carrier 21 Air, veered off the airport's diagonal runway before 2pm local time and collided with several vehicles on the ground. The plane had flown from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and had five people on board, including three in critical condition. The pilot and co-pilot were trapped in the wreckage, and at least two people were trapped inside the struck vehicles. Over 60 rescue units and around 200 emergency personnel responded to the crash, which also caused an active fuel leak. The airport temporarily halted all flights, but two of its four runways reopened by Sunday evening. The aircraft, a 32-year-old freighter, had previously been used as a passenger plane. Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel stated that the company was working with authorities to determine the cause of the incident, prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved. The National Transportation Safety Board, along with Boeing and 21 Air, initiated investigations into the crash. This is the latest fatal accident involving an aircraft operating for Amazon Prime Air; a similar incident occurred in February 2019 when Atlas Air Flight 3591 crashed into a bay in Texas, killing all three people on board.",
