At least five people died after a Boeing cargo plane operating for Amazon crashed in Miami, overshooting the runway and coming to rest on a busy road.

Footage and photos from the crash site shared by NBC Miami showed the Amazon-branded aircraft sitting dangerously close to a building as thick smoke poured from the plane.

The cargo jet was arriving at Miami International Airport from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it went beyond the end of the runway at about 2 p.m. Sunday and “struck multiple vehicles” on Northwest 42nd Avenue, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue told the Daily Mail.

Firefighters reached the scene within 30 seconds of the emergency call and found several people trapped inside their vehicles, Fire Chief Raied Jadallah said during a news conference Sunday evening.

Crews also encountered heavy flames and dense smoke coming from the aircraft as they began their rescue response.

‘What we found was a very complex situation here,’ he described. 

At least five people were killed in the tragedy, while three others remain in critical condition at a local trauma center.

Two others were also transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries. Authorities have not yet identified the deceased nor the victims taken to the hospital.

The Prime Air plane ultimately came to a rest on its belly near two semitrucks and appeared to be largely intact despite the fire. 

But in distressing radio traffic obtained by the Miami Herald, a firefighter could be heard telling colleagues: ‘The plane is on fire. The plane is on fire. Put your game face on guys.’

Firefighters could also be heard on the emergency radio dispatch scrambling to get hoses close enough to the plane to spray water to suppress the flames.

Making matters worse, the aircraft’s left engine was still running when firefighters battled the blaze, making it dangerous for them to enter the plane to check for patients inside.

The firefighters could be heard in the radio traffic saying the pilots onboard told them they could not turn the engine off because they would need to ‘energize’ the aircraft, leaving firefighters on the scene forced to flood the engine with water.

Meanwhile, Rohan Ellis, 34, a student pilot who was on the other side of the airport when the Prime Air plane crashed, described the vehicles on the road as ‘mangled’ to The New York Times. 

Following the crash, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced he issued a full ground stop at the airport. 

‘If you’re traveling through the area, please expect significant delays and potential cancellations,’ he posted on social media, adding that the Federal Aviation Administration will send inspectors to the scene.

The National Transportation Safety Board has also said it launched a team to investigate the ‘runway excursion accident.’ 

Miami International Airport has since reopened two of its four runway, but flights are still being impacted, with about 250 flights delayed at the airport late Sunday afternoon, according to FlightAware.

In the meantime, Amazon said in a statement that it is still gathering information during this ‘fast-moving situation.’ 

‘We’re working closely with local authorities and officials to understand exactly what happened,’ it said. 

‘Right now, our absolute priority is the safety, well-being, and care of everyone involved. We’re doing everything we can to support those affected.’ 

A spokesperson for the airport also told the Daily Mail that the plane ‘overran Miami International Airport’s diagonal runway and is disabled at the northwest end of the airport.’ 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Amazon and Miami police for comment.

Welcome to Polished with Elise Wilson, the column where Daily Mail’s qualified makeup artist and hairstylist answers your beauty questions, offers expert tips, and road-tests the latest skincare and makeup trends so you don’t have to.

As a beauty editor — and, admittedly, a rather stretched millennial woman — it takes something genuinely special to make me feel wide-eyed with excitement.

But place me in a room packed with thousands of unreleased beauty products from across the globe, and suddenly I’m channelling Charlie Bucket with a golden ticket in hand.

That was exactly the mood at Sephora Australia’s highly anticipated showcase in Sydney, where beauty editors, influencers and industry insiders were invited to preview the major new products, brands and innovations set to arrive for Spring/Summer 2026.

I’ll admit I may have spent a little too long talking my way through the event to examine every single launch in detail, but a handful of standout new beauty buys instantly demanded my attention.

From a major foundation overhaul seven years in the making to cream-to-powder blushes, glossy hair treatments and the return of a makeup brand many of us have desperately missed, these are the Sephora launches I think are genuinely worth having on your radar.

Sephora has pulled off some particularly impressive coups this year, including the arrival of Hourglass and the impending launch of Merit – two names that are likely to have rival beauty retailers like Mecca looking over their shoulders at.

Of course, it’s not only the atmosphere and the hype that are the reason industry elite are falling over themselves for an invite, but also the goodie bag at the end that everyone walks out with.

So, after much chatting, swatching, playing and trialling over the past week, what really does deserve a spot in your beauty cabinet? Here are my picks.

Mark Jacobs is back!

Of all the launches this year, this one delivers perhaps the biggest dose of nostalgia.

Marc Jacobs Beauty officially returned to Australia this month after disappearing from beauty counters in 2021.

Anyone who remembers the original line will understand the excitement. Its long-wearing eyeliners, Omega Bronzer and Coconut Hydrating Primer became staples in many makeup bags before the brand abruptly vanished.

Arriving at a time when pared-back ‘clean girl’ makeup has dominated our feeds for years, I am very pleased to say that OTT, camp and colourful makeup palette’s are back.

The bold silky duo chrome eyeshadows containers and liners extend well beyond your standard brown and black into shades including bright daisy yellow.

Although I don’t know if I’m bold enough to donne the electric blue mascara yet.

Merit Beauty is finally coming to stores

If your makeup philosophy is less ‘full glam’ and more ‘please just make me look alive in under five minutes’, you probably already know Merit.

The minimalist beauty brand first arrived in Australia online in late 2024, bringing cult products including its Minimalist Complexion Stick and Flush Balm with it.

The problem was that we had to order from America and we couldn’t actually swatch any of it.

Merit will officially launch exclusively into Sephora Australia and New Zealand on September 30, with the range available across 37 stores well as online.

Oh, and almost the entire line – yes, including fragrance – is coming along for the ride.

Hourglass has changed allegiances

This was arguably one of Sephora Australia’s biggest beauty gets of 2026.

Hourglass officially landed at the retailer in February, bringing cult products including its Veil Hydrating Skin Tint and Vanish Airbrush Concealer with it.

And yes, considering where Australian beauty shoppers traditionally bought the brand, its arrival certainly raised a few eyebrows.

One of the newer products to tempt me are the Phantom Blur Balms ($66). These feather-light lipsticks are designed to create that soft, blurred wash of colour for up to 12 hours.

Fenty reinvents their cult foundation

Retiring a cult foundation is a risky business, but Fenty Beauty isn’t exactly known for playing it safe.

After phasing out the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, the brand is launching its replacement, the Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex Natural Matte Longwear formula ($76), this September.

I’m told the new iteration was engineered in Japan and reportedly draws on more than seven years of customer feedback.

There are 50 shades, with a medium, buildable finish that’s designed to look like skin rather than a mask.

For application, I’d pair it with the new Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex Foundation Brush 165 ($56), which is designed specifically to buff the formula seamlessly into skin.

It Cosmetics take hybrid makeup up a notch

IT Cosmetics’ CC+ Cream is already one of my all-time favourite makeup bases, so naturally its latest complexion launch caught my eye.

The Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm ($65) is essentially makeup for people who want their makeup doing several jobs at once.

The four-in-one solid balm is made up of 92 per cent skincare and combines hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and biosynthetic collagen peptides with pigment.

There are 15 ‘flexible’ shades and you can apply it sheer or build it up depending on how much coverage you want.

Cream-to-powder blush is having a moment

If the showcase made one makeup trend particularly obvious, it’s that cream-to-powder colour is coming for our beauty bags.

At the affordable end, Sephora Collection’s All-In-One Cream Color Blush ($28) comes in six shades and can be worn across your eyes, cheeks and lips.

At the considerably more boujee end is Prada Touch Cream-To-Powder Blush ($85) which melts into skin before transforming into a seamless finish.

I’d love to meet someone that can justify an $85 blusher, but each to their own.

Olaplex expands range with a mist

I’m always interested in products that can make second-day hair look like you’ve made far more effort than you actually have.

I don’t know if I’m showing my age, but I was originally one of the first to review Olaplex when it launched in 2014, so receiving this new No.7 Shine Serum Oil Mist ($70) was like a walk down memory lane.

The bi-phase repair treatment combines high-shine oils including Kalahari melon seed, kukui nut and rosehip extract with a reparative serum, promising up to 96 hours of shine and hydration.

It also offers heat protection up to 232C and uses OLAPLEX’s Bond-Building Technology, with the brand claiming it helps reduce breakage by 75 per cent.

Body mists aren’t just for the teens anymore

If you thought body mists belonged exclusively on the dressing tables of teenagers in the early 2000s, I have great news for you.

I’ve reported on this months ago, but a lighter way of wearing scent is having a comeback, and Valentino Beauty is joining in with a limited-edition collection of Hair & Body Mists ($75 ea) in four delicious scents.

For years, fragrance has been obsessed with intensity and longevity, but now we’re seeing our scent collections becoming a lot more casual – something you can mist over your hair and body throughout the day.

Hailey Bieber fans will want this body scrub

Naturium’s Glow Getter body range already has some famous fans with its body butter appearing among Hailey Bieber’s beauty favourites, and now there’s another product joining the glowing-skin line-up.

The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Scrub ($33) combines sugar crystals with linoleic-rich botanical oils, 20 per cent glycerin and squalane to exfoliate while leaving skin soft and hydrated.

It also has the range’s signature vanilla-coconut scent and perfect time for getting our pins out this summer.

Here’s the cheat code to pillow lips

Huda Beauty’s new Liquid Matte Mousse Soft Blur Lip Cream ($43) taps directly into our ongoing obsession with blurred, soft-focus lips that are loved on the red carpet and runways.

The whipped mousse formula has a soft-matte finish and comes in eight nude shades.

Rather than creating a sharply outlined lip, you can apply it through the centre and blend it outwards for that diffused, pillowy effect Huda herself wears so well.

Makeup by Mario is adding sparkle to his collection

There’s a reason the Kardashians’ makeup has inspired approximately a million tutorials over the years, and their OG makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic has built a beauty empire off the back of that expertise.

Makeup by Mario’s eye products have developed particular cult status thanks to their wearable shades and formulas, and now his cream shadows are getting a shimmering update.

The Soft Shimmer Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadows ($45) come in eight shades and deliver the easy cream-shadow appeal of the originals with a lot more sparkle.

ONE SIZE really does fit all

For those looking to enhance and not hide their features, the new One Size Ultimate Color Corrector Stains ($47) are designed to brighten, neutralise and correct discolouration for up to 12 hours without coming off.

It comes in six targeted shades whether you’re fighting dark circles, redness or uneven tone and are small enough to add to any makeup bag.

Also on my radar is the brand’s Oil Sucker Spray ($57), which isn’t brand new, but as the great name suggests, is aimed at anyone whose makeup tends to turn shiny as the day goes on.

K-Beauty is much easier to find now

K-beauty’s domination of Australian skincare shows no sign of slowing down, and I’m personally all for this.

Popular Korean skincare brand ANUA made its physical Sephora debut in April, bringing its barrier-focused, soothing formulas onto shelves.

This one particularly excites me because I recently visited South Korea and had the opportunity to meet the ANUA team myself, so I’ve seen first-hand just how much thought goes into the brand.

And its profile is only getting bigger, with Kendall Jenner now fronting the brand.

There were plenty more launches packed into the showcase but these were all the products and brands that had me taking mental notes as I made my way around the room.

If this showcase was any indication, Spring/Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a very expensive season for beauty lovers.

Ketamine use appears to be rising sharply on the illegal party drug scene, with fresh figures showing police are now recording more seizures and possession offences linked to the substance than to amphetamines.

According to Home Office data, police forces logged 1,845 offences for possession of the veterinary tranquilliser in 2025-26 — a 151 per cent jump from the 735 cases recorded in 2020-21.

Over the same five-year period, amphetamine possession offences moved in the opposite direction, dropping by more than half from 2,576 to 1,209.

The figures are likely to fuel growing alarm that ketamine is becoming one of the most prominent drugs among young people, despite serious health dangers and a street price that can be as low as £2 a dose — cheaper than many pints of beer.

Often referred to as “K” or “Special K,” ketamine can produce a calm, detached, dream-like high, but heavier use may trigger a frightening state of temporary paralysis known among users as a “k-hole.”

It can be fatal, especially when mixed with other drugs or alcohol, and can lead to heart problems and hallucinations.

Longer-term use can lead to memory loss, mental health problems and organ damage.

A separate survey of every police force in England and Wales, carried out under freedom of information laws, revealed how sharply the drug has taken hold in individual areas.

Responses showed Merseyside is the ketamine capital of Britain, with police there recording 331 possession offences in 2025-26, nearly three times the Metropolitan Police’s tally. 

The true scale is likely to be higher still because Home Office counting rules record a suspect caught with several drugs against the most serious substance alone, which would hide ketamine behind cocaine.

Home Office data also shows most users caught with the drug escape with little more than a ticking off, with fewer than a third of outcomes in 2025-26 ending in a charge.

Almost half of those cases were settled with an informal disposal such as a ‘community resolution’, up from just over a fifth in 2020-21, when the drug was far less widely used.

Zaheen Ahmed, of drug treatment specialist the UKAT Group, said: ‘Ketamine addicts are presenting to our treatment centres in dire states.

‘Young men and women, some as young as 18, are already incontinent or have severe bladder problems, including excruciating cramps and needing the toilet every five minutes.

‘Every single person we’re treating for ketamine addiction has said the same thing to us: they never believed ketamine could cause this level of damage to their body.

‘It’s so sad to see but we’re treating more people so far this year than we ever have done in a full year.’

Research by King’s College London has counted 696 deaths involving illicit ketamine since 1999, with victims including RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne and Friends star Matthew Perry.

Supermodel Cara Delevingne became the latest star to lay bare its grip, revealing in June that she spent her twenties hooked before getting sober in 2022.

Ketamine’s growing dominance comes just months after government drug advisers, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD), rejected calls to upgrade it from Class B to Class A, the same as heroin, crack and cocaine.

A government spokesman said: ‘We are committed to driving down drug-related harms and deaths, and remain on high alert to the dangers of ketamine and other emerging drug threats.

‘We are grateful to the ACMD for its report on ketamine.

‘We are carefully considering its recommendations, including on the appropriate classification of ketamine.’
