A deadly aviation disaster has struck Miami International Airport after Amazon Prime Air Flight 7598, a Boeing 767 freighter, reportedly overran the runway and crashed into multiple vehicles, killing five people and injuring several others. The Amazon cargo aircraft, which had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, reportedly crashed shortly after its runway overrun, sending thick smoke into the sky and triggering a major emergency response at Miami Airport. Authorities said five people were killed in the crash, while five others were injured. Three of the injured were reported to be in critical condition and were rushed to a trauma centre for urgent medical treatment. WATCH

Blue Origin’s ambitious New Glenn program has suffered a major setback after the company’s rocket exploded during a hotfire test on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The powerful blast sent flames and smoke high into the sky, with nearby residents reporting shaking homes and a bright orange glow briefly lighting up the area. Blue Origin later confirmed a “test anomaly” during the New Glenn hotfire operation and said all personnel were accounted for and safe, with no injuries reported. The explosion marks another difficult moment for Jeff Bezos’ space company, which has been working to bring the heavy-lift New Glenn rocket into full operation. Earlier technical challenges, including thermal engine concerns, had already impacted the program’s progress. WATCH
