00:02:58.820 deadly Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport. Prime Air Flight 7598
00:03:05.900 overrunning the runway shortly before 2 p.m., striking multiple vehicles on the ground per
00:03:12.000 officials at a press conference on Sunday. Five people losing their lives due to the Boeing 767
00:03:18.080 crash when the plane hit a van carrying a cleaning crew of seven and an SUV with an
00:03:24.600 unspecified number of people in it, according to the NTSB. During a press conference Monday,
00:03:30.580 NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy explaining more of what transpired upon landing.
00:03:36.260 What we know so far is the flight was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico with two crew members
00:03:42.180 on board this was the third flight for the aircraft that aircraft that yesterday went from
00:03:49.780 Cincinnati to Miami Miami to San Juan and San Juan back to Miami overran runway 30 on landing
00:04:00.000 struck navigational aids and equipment then impacted a 2012 white Ford Econoline van that
00:04:09.900 was owned by Professional Ocean Service Corporation, which is a contract cleaning
00:04:16.980 company for the airlines. In the van were seven persons on board. The aircraft then traveled
00:04:23.760 through a perimeter fence and impacted a Toyota Corolla Cross LE. In total, it was about 1,300
00:04:34.640 hundred feet past the paved surface. Three people remain in critical condition, two others
00:04:41.940 hospitalized with less severe injuries. The only two people aboard the plane, the pilot and co-pilot,
00:04:48.240 both survived, although it is unclear if they were injured in the crash, according to the New York
00:04:52.980 Times. Fire officials explaining the scene they arrived to on Sunday. What we found was a very
00:04:59.400 complex situation here. As you may have seen or may have heard, the airplane did strike a couple
00:05:05.700 of vehicles that required a couple of victims that were actually trapped in the vehicles.
00:05:10.740 So a complex extrication with our technical rescue team started to occur. In addition to that,
00:05:15.800 we had a very complex fire engine compartments that were on fire, including a search and rescue
00:05:22.260 of the pilot and co-pilot that were trapped in this aircraft. Video of the landing appeared to
00:05:27.500 show the plane staying airborne well past the normal touchdown area, raising questions about
00:05:32.720 why pilots did not attempt a second landing. NTSB investigators are examining the weather
00:05:38.720 conditions and the plane's speed, brakes, and mechanical history, including the fact that the
00:05:44.220 32-year-old jet had passed through several previous owners before being converted from
00:05:49.680 passenger to cargo use in 2015. Here's Homendy again.
00:05:54.320 We have begun collecting investigative information. We do have data and information, but we are a very thorough, fact-based agency, and we don't release that information until we have verified it and are able to provide that verified information to the public, which we hope to do with much of the information tomorrow.
00:06:19.440 We were able to recover the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder that is going back to the NTSB tonight in just a couple of hours and will be at headquarters where it can be evaluated and downloaded.
00:06:36.920 Some aviation experts noting the strong winds and a possible tailwind may be contributing factors behind the plane floating farther down the runway than normal.
00:06:47.660 Miami's airport, unlike more than 120 others nationwide, does not have a runway arresting
00:06:53.380 system, which is designed to stop an aircraft that travels past a runway or that experiences
00:06:58.920 brake failure. The crash forcing the closure of two of the airport's four runways into Monday,
00:07:04.920 with more than 150 flights canceled and hundreds more delayed. The flight was operated by 21Air
00:07:11.960 on behalf of Amazon, which says it is cooperating fully with investigators.
00:07:17.100 The NTSB is saying it expects to release more findings,
00:07:20.320 including confirmed speed data from the flight recorder, as early as today.
00:07:27.020 A disturbing case out of Illinois. A mother allegedly killing her two-year-old son,
00:07:33.620 just hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case in a group text message with her friends.
00:07:39.720 40-year-old Corey Walsh facing first-degree murder charges in connection with the death
00:07:45.180 of her son Barrett, according to police.
00:07:48.300 Per court documents obtained by CNN, a neighbor discovering Barrett hanging in the basement
00:07:54.100 last Tuesday afternoon with a ligature bound around his neck.
00:07:58.060 The neighbor immediately lowering Barrett and beginning CPR while calling 911.
00:08:04.260 Paramedics pronouncing the child dead at the scene, while an autopsy later confirming
00:08:08.900 he died of asphyxiation, per CNN. The neighbor finding Walsh upstairs, lying in a bathtub full
00:08:16.180 of bloody water, trying allegedly to commit suicide, according to court documents. She
00:08:21.880 is hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Three other children in the home
00:08:27.260 were found safe. Walsh allegedly telling officers at the scene that she killed her son because he
00:08:33.640 was, quote, the devil and, quote, the antichrist, according to local outlet Fox 32. While
00:08:40.240 hospitalized, Walsh reportedly giving investigators an account of the killing that matched evidence
00:08:45.820 found at the scene. The case drawing immediate parallels to the much-publicized Lindsay Clancy
00:08:51.420 case, the Massachusetts mother who strangled her three children with exercise cords. Clancy's
00:08:57.420 lawyers arguing she was legally insane at the time due to postpartum psychosis, with a mistrial
00:09:03.400 declared in the case on Friday after jurors deadlocked following seven days of deliberations.
00:09:09.320 According to ABC7's Chicago, Walsh's lawyer similarly claiming that Walsh was going through
00:09:15.300 a psychotic episode before killing her young son. As CBS Chicago News legal analyst Irv Miller says,
00:09:23.480 the fact that Walsh was texting about the Clancy case hours before killing her son
00:09:28.160 will be key to this case. That'll be the first thing they say in opening statement.
00:09:32.400 the first piece of evidence they introduce, and the first and last thing they say in closing
00:09:36.560 argument. That's how important it is. You don't want jurors that are so familiar with the Clancy
00:09:41.620 case, they're going to use that either for or against the defendant in Will County.
00:09:47.500 Neighbors who live near the Walsh home telling CBS Chicago how this has shaken the community
00:09:52.380 as a whole. It's very quiet in Frankfort. I mean, you rarely ever hear about anything of the sort.
00:09:58.700 so it's a bit much. And this is just absolutely heartbreaking to understand what happened a
00:10:05.100 couple blocks away and that it's impacting our community. It's gut-wrenching to understand that
00:10:10.400 a little little two-year-old could be the victim of such a horrific event just makes us very sad
00:10:17.840 and devastated for the family and devastated for that those children. Walsh currently held at the
00:10:23.900 Will County adult detention facility with a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
00:10:28.740 Prosecutors are asking a judge to deny her pretrial release.
00:10:34.240 Coming up, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Ohio is okay after an armed
00:10:39.860 man charges through a crowd toward her. And President Trump, fresh off of renaming
00:10:44.880 Lake Ontario, Lake America, appearing to set his sights on New Mexico.
00:10:53.900 We are still a couple months out, but the midterms are fast approaching.
00:11:01.080 And make no mistake, if the house flips, it is a big deal for our economy.
00:11:06.300 That uncertainty is one of the many reasons to consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:11:11.580 In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the price of gold jumped over 12%.
00:11:18.040 Why? Because it's a hedge against uncertainty, of course.
00:11:21.160 if you don't own gold, consider talking to Birch Gold. They're going to discuss your goals
00:11:26.760 and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert
00:11:32.400 an existing IRA or 401k in whole or in part into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of
00:11:39.520 pocket. Just text the letters MK to the number 989898 and get a free info kit and some solid
00:11:46.160 information. The midterms will be here before you know it. Don't wait. Text MK to 989898.
00:11:54.980 A 38-year-old Ohio man is in police custody after lunging at Democratic
00:12:00.440 gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton at the Canfield Fair on Sunday. Local outlets identifying
00:12:07.260 the man as Patrick Havas. Mahoning County Sheriff Jerry Green telling 21 News Havas was carrying
00:12:14.580 two concealed firearms and brass knuckles when he pushed his way through the crowd,
00:12:19.580 knocking down two older adults. Here, a witness further detailing the incident to local outlet
00:12:25.040 WLWT. When she entered in, the crowd of people that were here were excited to see her. So she
00:12:33.120 came into the center of the group and was shaking hands and so forth. And while she was talking,
00:12:39.280 this assailant came into our tent, pushed through the crowd, knocked two older people,
00:12:47.540 and when I say older, I'm 74, they were in their 80s, knocked them to the ground. Well, luckily,
00:12:52.700 a highway patrolman and one of our candidates was able to grab him, get him out of the tent,
00:13:00.460 and put the handcuffs on him out there. The Mahoney County Sheriff's Office telling 21 News
00:13:06.220 Havis was confronted by Acton's security team, made up of Ohio State troopers, then apprehended.
00:13:13.180 Havis never brandishing his guns in the incident. Canfield Fair Police taking him into custody from
00:13:19.100 there, according to the outlet. Acton, a physician, was unharmed, staying on scene to help one of those
00:13:25.940 injured. The Democratic candidate for governor addressing the incident yesterday.
00:13:30.340 We had a rough day yesterday. I'm so thankful to our first responders and our state highway patrol and everyone who helped out the people who were injured and our parents are with them.
00:13:45.240 I am a fierce warrior in this fight. That's exactly why I'm running. I refuse to look the other way like people didn't look the other way when I was a struggling kid in Youngstown, Ohio.
00:13:59.240 I won't look the other way. And you are refusing to look the other way. We refuse to look the
00:14:08.160 other way while bad actors and special interests keep taking us backwards. It is time for change
00:14:17.360 in Ohio. It is time. Let's do this. Acton's campaign further emphasizing that sentiment,
00:14:25.260 giving the following statement, quote,
00:14:27.640 This kind of violence has no place in Ohio.
00:14:30.520 Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate, and vitriol that pits us against one another.
00:14:36.820 Acton's Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy,
00:14:39.360 with whom she is in a statistical tie for the governor's mansion, condemning the incident.
00:14:45.040 Political violence has no place in America, period, full stop.
00:14:50.620 The threat of political violence has no place in America, full stop.
00:14:55.440 I don't care what party you are.
00:14:56.620 I don't care what your partisan beliefs are.
00:14:58.680 That's a hard line, hard principle.
00:15:01.520 Vigorous debate, yes, that's important.
00:15:03.720 And I think we do need to have vigorous debate in a civil way.
00:15:08.360 That's the way we demonstrate who we are as leaders.
00:15:10.860 And it's up to us to set that example for the rest of the state and I hope the rest of the country to follow.
00:15:17.060 Havis now facing two assault charges and a disorderly conduct charge.
00:15:21.760 No weapons charges have been filed.
00:15:24.740 President Trump once again teasing a rewrite of the map.
00:15:28.920 Amidst a frenzy of Sunday Truth social posts,
00:15:32.280 the president sharing multiple images suggesting a new name for New Mexico,
00:15:37.180 dubbing it New America.
00:15:38.720 The posts, which contain only images and no words written by the president,
00:15:43.820 drawing much scrutiny from New Mexico officials. New Mexico's governor, Michelle Lujan Crisham,
00:15:50.800 criticizing the president's policies and saying her state's name is not up for debate.
00:15:55.320 While the president tries to distract Americans from his disastrous war on Iran, gas prices keep
00:16:01.500 soaring. Americans are also spending more at the grocery store, losing access to health care,
00:16:06.200 and wondering if they will ever be able to afford a home. Democratic U.S. Senator for New Mexico,
00:16:12.240 Martin Heinrich, writing, quote, three things I will always call by their actual names,
00:16:17.700 the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, New Mexico. Mr. Trump making geographical rebrands a fairly
00:16:23.720 regular part of his second term, ordering the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed the Gulf of America,
00:16:29.300 and more recently, amid ongoing tensions with Canada when it comes to trade,
00:16:33.960 signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario Lake America. But as the New York Times reports,
00:16:40.220 a state's legal name is a different matter entirely. Changing it requires action well
00:16:45.900 beyond a presidential order, likely involving the state legislature and its constitution.
00:16:52.020 According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Interior Department, in the 16th century,
00:16:57.560 long before the founding of the U.S., Mexicans called the territory north and west of the Rio
00:17:02.960 Grande, New Mexico. The first page of the state's constitution also reads, quote,
00:17:08.300 the name of this state is New Mexico and its boundaries are as follows. The president posting
00:17:14.920 various other attention-grabbing images, including one reshaping Iran's borders into the outline of
00:17:21.220 his own head. Another image posted by Mr. Trump shows a picture of the moon with the words,
00:17:26.900 the moon is ours. The White House has not indicated whether it intends to
00:17:31.820 advocate for any official action on the New Mexico name change.
00:17:38.300 And that'll do it for your AM update.
