New details coming to light regarding Sundays, deadly Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport. Prime air flight 7598, overrunning the runway shortly before 2 p.m. striking multiple vehicles on the ground per officials at a press conference on Sunday.

3:14Five people losing their lives due to the Boeing 767 crash when the plane hit a van carrying a cleaning crew of seven and an SUV with an unspecified number of people in it according to the NTSB. During a press conference Monday NTSB chair Jennifer Hammondy explaining more of what transpired upon landing. What we know so far is the flight was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico with two crew members on board. This was the third flight for the aircraft that yesterday went from Cincinnati to Miami, Miami to San Juan and San Juan back to Miami. Overran runway 30 on landing struck navigational aids and equipment then impacted a 2012 white Ford Econoline van that was owned by professional ocean service corporation, which is a contract cleaning company for the airlines in the van were seven persons on board.

4:22The aircraft then traveled through a perimeter fence and impacted a Toyota Corolla cross L.E. In total, it was about 1,300 feet past the paved surface. Three people remain in critical condition to others hospitalized with less severe injuries. The only two people aboard the plane, the pilot and copilot both survived. Although it is unclear if they were injured in the crash according to the New York Times, fire officials explaining the scene they arrived to on Sunday. What we found was a very complex situation here. As you may have seen or may have heard the airplane did strike a couple of vehicles that required a couple of victims that were actually trapped in the vehicles. So a complex expectation with our technical rescue teams started to occur. In addition to that, we had a very complex fire engine compartments that were on fire including a search and rescue of the pilot and copilot that were trapped in this aircraft.

5:40The speed, brakes and mechanical history, including the fact that the 32 year old jet had passed through several previous owners before being converted from passenger to cargo use in 2015. Here's Hammondy again. We have begun collecting investigative information. We do have data and information, but we are 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. We were able to recovery the flight data recovery 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. 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. My Ami's airport, unlike more than 120 others nationwide, does not have a runway arresting system, which is designed to stop an aircraft that travels past a runway or that experiences brake failure.

7:00The crash forcing the closure of two of the airports for runways into Monday with more than 150 flights canceled and hundreds more delayed. The flight was operated by 21 air on behalf of Amazon, which says it is cooperating fully with investigators. The NTSB saying it expects to release more findings, including confirmed speed data from the flight recorder as early as today. A disturbing case at a villainoy, a mother allegedly killing her two-year-old son just hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case in a group text message with her friends. Forty-year-old Corey Walsh facing first-degree murder charges in connection with the death of her son, Barrett, according to police. Per court documents obtained by CNN, a neighbor discovering Barrett hanging in the basement last Tuesday afternoon with a ligature bound around his neck. The neighbor immediately lowering Barrett and beginning CPR while calling 911, paramedics pronouncing the child dead at the scene while an autopsy later confirming he died of asphyxiation per CNN.

8:12The neighbor finding Walsh upstairs lying in a bathtub full of bloody water, trying allegedly to commit suicide according to court documents. Once she is hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, three other children in the home were found safe. Walsh allegedly telling officers at the scene that she killed her son because he was, quote, the devil and quote the antichrist according to local outlet Fox 32. While hospitalized, Walsh reportedly giving investigators an account of the killing that matched evidence found at the scene. The case drawing immediate parallels to the much publicized Lindsay Clancy case, the Massachusetts mother who strangled her three children with exercise cords. Clancy's lawyers arguing she was legally insane at the time due to postpartum psychosis with a mistrile declared in the case on Friday after jurors deadlocked following seven days of deliberations. According to ABC 7 Chicago, Walsh's lawyer similarly claiming that Walsh was going through a psychotic episode before killing her young son.

9:19As CBS Chicago news legal analyst Irv Miller says the fact that Walsh was texting about the Clancy case hours before killing her son will be key to this case. That will be the first thing they say in opening statement, the first piece of evidence they introduce and the first and last thing they say in closing argument. That's how important it is. As you don't want jurors that are so familiar with the Clancy case, they're going to use that either for or against the defendant in New York County. Neighbors who live near the Walsh home telling CBS Chicago how this has shaken the community as a whole. It is very quiet in Frankfurt. I mean, you rarely ever hear about anything at the sort. So it's a bit much. And this is just absolutely heartbreaking to understand what happened a couple blocks away and that it's impacting our community. It's got wrenching to understand that a little, little two year old could be the victim of such a horrific event. Just makes us very sad and devastated for the family and devastated for those children.

10:22Walsh currently held at the Wil County Adult Detention Facility with a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday. Prosecutors are asking a judge to deny her pretrial release. Coming up, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Ohio is okay after an armed man charges through a crowd toward her. And President Trump fresh off of renaming Lake Ontario, Lake America, appearing to set his sights on New Mexico. We are still a couple months out, but the midterms are fast approaching and make no mistake. If the house flips, it is a big deal for our economy. That uncertainty is one of the many reasons to consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group. In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the price of gold jumped over 12%. Why? Because it's a hedge against uncertainty, of course. If you don't own gold, consider talking to Birch Gold.

A 38 year old Ohio man is in police custody after lunging at Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton at the Canfield Fair on Sunday. Local outlets identifying the man as Patrick Havis. Mahoning County Sheriff Jerry Green telling 21 news Havis was carrying two concealed firearms and brass knuckles. When he pushed his way through the crowd, knocking down two older adults. Here a witness further detailing the incident to local outlet WLWT.

12:26When she entered in the crowd of people that were here, we're excited to see her. So she came into the center of the group and was shaken hands and so forth. And while she was talking, this assault assailant came into our tent, pushed through the crowd, knocked two older people. And I say older, I'm 74, they were in their 80s. Knocked them to the ground. Well luckily a highway patrolman and one of our candidates was able to grab him, get him out of the tent and put the handcuffs on him out there. The Mahoning County Sheriff's Office telling 21 news Havis was confronted by Acton's security team, made up of Ohio State troopers, then apprehended. Havis never brandishing his guns in the incident. Canfield Fair police taking him into custody from there according to the outlet. Acton, a physician, was unharmed, staying unseen to help one of those injured.

13:26The Democratic candidate for Governor addressing the incident yesterday. We had a rough day yesterday. I'm so thankful to our first responders and our stay highway patrol and everyone who helped out the people who were injured and our parents are with them. 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. I won't look the other way and you are refusing to look the other way. We refuse to look the other way. We're bad actors and special agents. Keep taking us backwards. It is time for change in Ohio. It is time for life to live. Acton's campaign further emphasizing that sentiment, giving the following statement, quote,

14:28This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another. Acton's Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, with whom she is in a statistical tie for the governor's mansion condemning the incident. Political violence has no place in America. Period. Full stop. The threat of political violence has no place in America. Full stop. I don't care what party you are. I don't care what your partisan beliefs are. That's a hard line, hard principle. Vigorous debate? Yes. That's important. And I think we do need to have vigorous debate. In a civil way, that's the way we demonstrate who we are as leaders. 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. Havis now facing two assault charges and a disorderly conduct charge. No weapons charges have been filed. President Trump once again teasing a rewrite of the map amidst a frenzy of Sunday truth social posts.

15:32The president sharing multiple images suggesting a new name for New Mexico, dubbing it, New America. The posts which contain only images and no words written by the president, drawing much scrutiny from New Mexico officials. New Mexico's governor Michelle Lujan, Chrishem criticizing the president's policies and saying her state's name is not up for debate. Quote, while the president tries to distract Americans from his disastrous war on Iran, gas prices keep soaring. Americans are also spending more of the grocery store losing access to health care and wondering if they will ever be able to afford a home. Democratic US Senator for New Mexico, Martin Heinrich writing quote, three things I will always call by their actual names, the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, New Mexico. Mr. Trump making geographical rebrands a fairly regular part of his second term, ordering the Gulf of Mexico to be renamed to the Gulf of America. And more recently amid ongoing tensions with Canada when it comes to trade, signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario, Lake America.

16:38But as the New York Times reports, a state's legal name is a different matter entirely. Changing it requires action well beyond a presidential order, likely involving the state legislature and its constitution. According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Interior Department, in the 16th century, long before the founding of the US, Mexicans called the territory north and west of the Rio Grande, New Mexico. The first page of the state's constitution also reads quote, the name of this state is New Mexico and its boundaries are as follows. The president posting various other attention grabbing images, including one reshaping Iran's borders into the outline of his own head. Another image posted by Mr. Trump shows a picture of the moon with the words, the moon is ours. The White House has not indicated whether it intends to advocate for any official action on the New Mexico name change. And that'll do it for your AM update. I'm Megan Kelly.
