Plane carrying more than 100 passengers bursts into flames after crash landing at airport

A plane carrying more than 100 passengers crash-landed Monday at Miami Airport after its landing gear failed upon touchdown.

The aircraft ripped through a small building and a communications tower while skidding on its belly across the tarmac before bursting into flames.

Three people were rushed to the hospital after the accident. The plane was carrying 126 passengers and 11 crew members.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the jet’s landing gear collapsed. It was part of a fleet owned by Red Air, a discount airline founded just last year in the Dominican Republic.
