An Amazon cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport, resulting in at least five fatalities and multiple injuries.
The aircraft, operated by 21 Air, crashed around 2 p.m. after arriving from San Juan, striking vehicles, bursting into flames, and trapping individuals.
Emergency crews, including over 60 units, responded to extinguish the fire, manage a fuel leak, and rescue victims, including the pilot and copilot.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is launching an investigation into the incident involving the 32-year-old Boeing 767 cargo plane.

Scientists identify a novel mechanism: air pollution (PM2.5 particles) triggers lung cancer in non-smokers by activating dormant DNA mutations through inflammation.
This "wound-healing response" caused by pollution transforms pre-existing genetic mutations (e.g., in EGFR and KRAS genes) into active cancer, challenging prior understanding of carcinogen action.
The breakthrough paves the way for new cancer prevention strategies, including potential "molecular cancer prevention" pills designed to block inflammation and mitigate cancer risk.
Hailed as "revolutionary," the research underscores the urgent global imperative to combat air pollution, a "hidden killer" with significant links to human health and climate change.
