American Airlines plane overshoots runway at Jamaica airport, injures 40 | An American Airlines plane has reportedly crashed after overshooting the runway at an airport in Jamaica in heavy rain. Flight AA 331 from Miami, with
about 150 people on board, is reported to have broken apart after landing at Norman
Manley International Airport. The BBC quoted Jamaican Information Minister Daryl
Vaz as saying that at least 40 people were injured. According to local journalist
Roland Henry, the plane had come to rest near the beach. Roland Henry said survivors
had thought the plane was landing normally before there was a series of jolts
and luggage fell from overhead lockers. Passengers were visibly shaken by the
incident and some had broken bones or cuts, he added. However, Vaz said that there
were no reports of any deaths. "The injured passengers have been taken to the
Kingston Public Hospital," he said. |
