The Boeing 767 jet \u2014 operated by 21 Air \u2014 was flying from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it skidded off the runway at 129 mph after touching down just before 2 p.m. Sunday. At least five people were killed and another five\u00a0were injured\u00a0in the wreck.<\/p>\n

Flames were seen roaring from the back of the right engine as the cargo jet skidded to a stop, video shared by the Miami-based account Only in Dade shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my f\u2013king God,\u201d a witness filming the crash is heard screeching.<\/p>\n

Around 60 fire and rescue services raced to the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plane\u2019s on fire. The plane\u2019s on fire,\u201d one responder warned in Broadcastify audio obtained first by the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Boeing plane landedon runway 30, which is more than 9,000 feet long, according to FAA data.\u00a0It\u2019s not clear why the plane was unable to stop before it careened off the runway and smashed into multiple vehicles.<\/p>\n

Three of the injured who were hospitalized were listed in critical condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cA horrific accident, we were there at the yard, and then out of nowhere we just, we could see a plane just coming down and just hear the boom, the explosion that happened, you could feel the shake, you could see the smoke coming out, the flames, just felt like a couple of feet away from us,\u201d truck driver Romiersky Rodriguez, told the NBC affiliate WTVJ.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez said he feared the massive jet would explode \u2014 and it was later revealed fire crews had to deal with a fuel leak.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything just went chaotic as soon as the plane fell, people all around, smoke everywhere, it\u2019s a horrific experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t get close enough because we were scared that the plane was going to blow up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sound of the crash reverberated through Miami neighborhoods, with Jose Sanchez, who lives three miles from the airport, recalling how his home shook.<\/p>\n

He then went outdoors and saw huge plumes of smoke in the distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I stepped outside, it got stronger,\u201d he told CBS News.<\/p>\n

Beth Tilman, who also lives near the airport, told the New York Times how the stench from the fumes was something she had \u201cnever smelled before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t trees burning. It wasn\u2019t mangroves burning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The cause of the plane crash remains unknown and an investigation has been launched by the National Transportation Safety Board.<\/p>\n

Investigators are set to examine if the plane flew too far before landing.<\/p>\n

The typical landing zone is within the first 3,000 feet of a runway.<\/p>\n

Investigators will also look to see if a tailwind contributed to the crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
