At least 5 dead after Amazon cargo plane barreled off runway at Miami airport
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.

North Korea fires ballistic missile, Seoul says
North Korea launched a ballistic missile, detected by South Korea and Japan, continuing a series of sanctions-defying weapons tests this year.
The launch follows leader Kim Jong Un's recent pledge to rapidly expand the nation's nuclear arsenal and threats of pre-emptive nuclear force.
This test occurs amid warnings from US and South Korean officials that Pyongyang is preparing to resume nuclear testing, a move paused during previous diplomatic efforts.
The timing suggests a potential warning to South Korea's incoming president, Yoon Suk-yeol, who advocates a tougher stance on the North, and precedes US President Biden's upcoming visit.
