Story summary

On Sunday afternoon, an Amazon cargo plane operated by 21 Air overran a runway at Miami International Airport after landing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, killing at least five people and injuring five others. The Boeing 767-300 struck several vehicles near the airport and burst into flames, halting operations at one of America's busiest airports for several hours. More than 60 units from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to extinguish the fire, with officials confirming that three critically injured individuals were taken to hospitals along with two others in less severe condition. The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are investigating the cause of the crash.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
