AA Crash Jamaica
From Fox News Website
An American Airlines plane skidded off the runway and broke in two after landing in Kingston, Jamaica, shortly after 10 p.m. local time Tuesday, according to local news reports. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Details were not immediately available, but passengers at Norman Manley International Airport told local media that flight 331 had just arrived from Miami in heavy rain when the crash occurred.
The flight apparently originated in Washington, D.C.
An airport official said the plane overshot the runway and persons are being evacuated, with some sent to hospital.
"The plane crashed and broke almost in front of me," said passenger Naomi Palmer to the Jamaica Observer. Palmer said she was in pain.
Emergency vehicles sirens could be heard as she spoke via cell phone.
Although Fox are reporting that the flight originated in Washington,it appears to have been via Miami.
Hope everyone walked away.
