Caption: Five Dead After Amazon Cargo Plane Crashes At Miami Airport. Five people have died and five others were seriously injured after an Amazon Air cargo plane crashed while landing at Miami International Airport. The Boeing 767-300 overshot the runway shortly before 2 p.m. local time after flying from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The aircraft struck several vehicles on the ground, with some of the injured trapped inside or underneath vehicles before being rescued. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said emergency crews reached the crash site within seconds, while three injured people were reported in critical condition. More than 200 firefighters responded to the burning aircraft, extinguishing the flames, although officials reported a fuel leak at the scene. The Amazon flight was operated by North Carolina-based charter company 21 Air, which said the aircraft overran the airport's diagonal runway. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause, while Amazon said it was working with authorities to understand what happened. The crash caused widespread flight cancellations and delays over the busy Labor Day weekend, with the FAA temporarily grounding flights at the airport.
