An Amazon cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least five people and injuring five others, officials confirmed. The plane, operated by Prime Air, overshot the runway and struck vehicles before catching fire. Firefighters were alerted to the emergency and rushed to the scene, with some seen climbing into the burning jet as they called for immediate action.
Multiple fire units responded to the crash, with reports indicating over 60 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units were deployed. The crash occurred as the plane landed, and the fire quickly spread, engulfing the aircraft. Witnesses described the chaos as emergency personnel worked to contain the blaze and rescue survivors.
Authorities have not yet released details about the cause of the crash, though initial reports suggest the plane skidded off the runway. The incident has raised concerns about aviation safety and emergency response protocols. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full circumstances of the accident.
