Miami-Dade Fire Rescue launched search-and-rescue efforts for the pilot and co-pilot trapped on the aircraft and for victims trapped in vehicles; officials say five people were kll and five others injured. The Federal Aviation Administration and airport authorities are investigating; airport officials reported two of four runways are open, and FlightAware recorded 129 domestic delays and 65 cancellations at MIA Monday morning.
