'Multiple patients' after Amazon cargo plane crashes at Miami airport

Five people died following a cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The Prime Air flight, a Boeing 767, overran the runway while landing at approximately 1:58 p.m. after departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The aircraft came to rest in a field adjacent to the airport, where video footage captured the plane with its tail over a fence and thick black smoke rising. Operated by the contract cargo carrier 21 Air for Amazon, the plane prompted a significant emergency response. Over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units arrived on the scene to manage a fuel leak and assist with the chaotic aftermath. In response to the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration implemented a ground stop for all airport traffic. This measure was extended until 5:30 p.m. to allow first responders to assess the area securely. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned travelers of expected flight cancellations and delays due to the closure of all runways and taxiways. Both the Federal Aviation Administration and Amazon officials have committed to investigating the incident to determine the cause of the crash. Amazon expressed that its primary focus remains on supporting those affected by the tragic event.
