An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday before striking multiple vehicles and erupting into a blaze, officials said. Videos from the scene showed a fire and thick black smoke rising from the plane. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said that firefighters were "working on extinguishing the fire and assessing patients." An Amazon spokesperson said that "an Amazon Air plane operated by 21 Air experienced an incident while attempting to land at Miami International Airport today." "This is a fast-moving situation and we're still gathering details," the spokesperson, Kelly Nantel, said in an X post. "We're working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened." The plane took off from Puerto Rico at noon and reached Miami around 2 p.m., according to data from Flight Aware, a plane tracking service. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on X that a full ground stop was in place "while first responders assess the scene." The plane was left disabled at the northwest end of the airport. According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue radio transmissions recorded on Broadcastify, the plane struck a truck. "We have a patient trapped," a first responder said, according to the recordings.
