00:00At least five people were killed and five more were injured after an Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway at
00:07Miami International Airport on Sunday night, crashing into vehicles on a nearby road.
00:12Videos circulating online showed the plane lying on its belly after coming to rest beside a roadway near two trucks,
00:19appearing largely intact, despite officials earlier responding to fires after the crash.
00:25Local officials say more than 60 Miami Fire Department units were mobilized to respond to the scene after the collision
00:31sent plumes of thick black smoke into the sky.
00:34Three of those injured in the crash sustained critical wounds, while two others were hospitalized with less severe injuries.
00:41The plane, arriving from San Juan in Puerto Rico, crashed around 2 p.m. local time, prompting the busy airport's
00:47closure for much of the afternoon.
00:49It's not yet clear if the plane, a Boeing 767 operated by Amazon Prime Air, suffered a mechanical failure as
00:57it was landing.
00:58Authorities are also investigating whether harsh weather conditions played a role, as ongoing thunderstorms limiting visibility, coupled with wind gusts
01:06of close to 50 kilometers per hour, were recorded at the time of landing.
