Plane crash lands at Miami Int'l Airport, at least 3 people hospitalized

A plane crash landed at Miami International Airport on Tuesday. Three people were hospitalized but their injuries were not life threatening.

The Red Air flight coming from the Dominican Republic landed hard at around 5:30 p.m. and tore through a communications tower and a small building before coming to a stop on a grassy area alongside the runway, local outlet WSVN reported.

Initially indications suggest the aircraft's landing gear may have malfunctioned.

The jet was transporting 126 passengers and 11 crew members from the beautiful isle of the Dominican Republic.
