New details coming to light regarding Sunday's deadly Amazon cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport.

3:27During a press conference Monday, NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy 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 that aircraft yesterday. It 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 LE. In total, it was about 1 ,300 feet past the paved surface. Three people remain in critical condition, two others hospitalized with less severe injuries. The only two people aboard the plane, the pilot and co-pilot, 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.

5:10So a complex extrication with our technical rescue team 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 co-pilot that were trapped in this aircraft. Video of the landing appeared to show the plane staying airborne well past the normal touchdown area, raising questions about why pilots did not attempt a second landing. NTSB investigators are examining the weather conditions and the plane's 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.

5:52Here's Homendy again. 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. 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. 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.

6:47Miami'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. The crash forcing the closure of two of the airport's four runways into Monday, with more than 150 flights canceled and hundreds more delayed. The flight was operated by 21AIR on behalf of Amazon, which says it is cooperating fully with investigators. The NTSB is saying it expects to release more findings, including confirmed speed data from the flight recorder, as early as today. A disturbing case out of Illinois.

7:30A mother allegedly killing her two-year-old son, just hours after discussing the Lindsay Clancy case in a group text message with her friends. 40-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. 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, end 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.

8:56Clancy's lawyers arguing she was legally insane at the time due to postpartum psychosis, with a mistrial declared in the case on Friday after jurors deadlocked following seven days of deliberations. According to ABC7 Chicago, Walsh's lawyer similarly claiming that Walsh was going through a psychotic episode before killing her young son. As 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'll 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.

9:37That's how important it is. 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 Will County. Neighbors who live near the Walsh home telling CBS Chicago how this has shaken the community as a whole. It's very quiet in Frankfurt. I mean, you rarely ever hear about anything of 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 gut-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 Will 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.

10:57We 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 percent. Why? Because it's a hedge against uncertainty, of course. If you don't own gold, consider talking to Birch Gold. They're going to discuss your goals and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k in whole or in part into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of pocket.

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 Havas. Mahoning County Sheriff Jerry Green telling 21 News Havas 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.

12:27When she entered in, the crowd of people that were here were excited to see her. So she came into the center of the group and was shaking hands and so forth. And while she was talking, this assailant came into our tent, pushed through the crowd, knocked two older people. And when I 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 Mahoney County Sheriff's Office telling 21 News Havas was confronted by Acton's security team, made up of Ohio State troopers, then apprehended.

13:13Havas 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 on scene to help one of those injured. The Democratic candidate for governor addressing the incident yesterday. 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. 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.

13:59I won't look the other way and you are refusing to look the other way. We refuse to look the other way while bad actors and special interests keep taking us backwards. It is time for change in Ohio! It is time! Let's do this! Acton's campaign further emphasizing that sentiment, giving the following statement, quote, This 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.

14:50The 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.

15:29Amidst a frenzy of Sunday Truth social posts, the 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 Grisham, 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 at the grocery store, losing access to health care, and wondering if they will ever be able to afford a home.

16:10Democratic U.S. 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 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. But 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.

16:51According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Interior Department, in the 16th century, long before the founding of the U.S., 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.
