New Video Shows Moments Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 Crashes at Miami International Airport in Florida
MIAMI, Fla. — Five people were killed and five others injured after an Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon, September 6, 2026, according to the information provided.
The aircraft, a Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air as Flight 7598 (CSB7598) and registered as N1997A, was reportedly arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it experienced difficulties after landing at Miami International Airport.
Video footage from the incident appears to show the aircraft touching down at a high speed and in an unstable manner.
The footage reportedly shows the left main landing gear not fully in contact with the runway immediately after touchdown. The circumstances visible in the video have not been independently established as the cause of the crash.
The aircraft reportedly overran Runway 30, left the paved airport surface and crossed a perimeter roadway near NW 67th Avenue. It then struck vehicles before catching fire and producing heavy smoke.
The crash occurred at approximately 2 p.m. local time Sunday, with the aircraft reportedly touching down around 1:53 p.m. Emergency crews responded rapidly as reports of multiple casualties emerged.
The airport implemented a full ground stop and temporarily closed runways and taxiways as emergency personnel responded to the crash and worked to secure the area. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue reportedly deployed more than 60 units to assist with firefighting, rescue and medical operations.
Initial reports indicated multiple patients were being treated, while later information placed the reported toll at five people killed and five injured.
Officials are expected to provide additional details as the investigation and identification process continue.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the crash.
Investigators will examine the aircraft, runway, flight data, weather conditions, video footage and other evidence to determine what caused the Boeing 767 to leave the runway and crash.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional information about the victims, injured passengers or people on the ground, as well as the condition of the aircraft and the precise sequence of events, is expected to be released as authorities complete their assessment.

URBANA, Ill. — A 29-year-old Champaign man found dead on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus Monday morning has been identified as Alex C. Rodriguez, according to the Champaign County Coroner’s Office.
The University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) responded to the area of Green and Wright streets at approximately 6:42 a.m. after receiving a report of an unresponsive person near the Alma Mater statue.
Officers arrived and found Rodriguez on a concrete bench. Emergency medical assistance was requested at the scene.
The Champaign County Coroner’s Office responded, and Rodriguez was pronounced dead at approximately 7:16 a.m., according to Coroner Laurie Brauer.

UIPD provided an update Monday afternoon, saying preliminary observations at the scene revealed no signs of foul play.

Because investigators did not identify an active threat, the university did not issue an Illini-Alert emergency notification.
The circumstances surrounding Rodriguez’s death have not been determined.
An autopsy has been scheduled, and the death remains under investigation by the University of Illinois Police Department.
Authorities have not released additional information about the circumstances leading to Rodriguez’s death.
