At Miami International Airport, an Amazon cargo plane operated by 21 Air overran a runway and crashed into several vehicles, resulting in the deaths of at least five people and injuries to five others. The incident caused a three-hour ground stop as emergency crews, including over 60 units from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, responded to the scene. The plane, which caught fire and emitted heavy smoke, required specialized firefighting efforts. Three of the injured were critically hurt and taken to a trauma center, while two others were hospitalized. The identities of the victims remain undisclosed, and it is unclear if those killed were on the plane or on the ground.
