The cargo plane, 21 Air Flight 7598, overran the runway after landing at MIA around 2 p.m. eastern time, said a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson. The Boeing 767-300 cargo aircraft departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The FAA said it will investigate.

While operations like TSA appeared to be running as normal an hour after the crash, a majority of arriving and departing flights were delayed, with some planes delayed by more than four hours.

Here’s how to check for delays:

One of Miami International Airport’s flight trackers shows a list of all expected arrivals and departures with options to use a drop-down menu to narrow results. It shows the carrier, flight number and where the plane is going to or coming from. It also gives real-time updates on the flight’s arrival or departure status, which concourse the terminal is in, and the location of baggage claim.

MIA’s other flight tracker tool lets you track by flight or route. If you know the carrier, the date and the flight number, this tool might be easier to use since it will only pull the information for your flight.

Travelers are encouraged to check on flight status with their airlines.

Additionally, MIA has several ways to check flights, including a list of airlines, their door number, departure concourse, check-in counter location and baggage claim area. The airport also has a mobile app.
