From the "Giornale di Sicilia"

"'We heard a loud bang, like an explosion. It all happened in an instant. Now my back hurts dreadfully,' said Cinzia Orabona, a 31-year-old Palermo resident, who was aboard the Wind Jet Airbus 300 that ran off the runway this evening while landing at Falcone-Borsellino Airport in Palermo....'The aircraft left Rome on time,' she said, 'and there was some turbulence enroute, but nothing to worry about. After the landing we exited via two escape hatches; the rear of the aircraft was damaged. I don't recall having seen any serious injuries, just scrapes and bruises.' But the young woman also complained: 'We passengers were left standing in the rain and had to make our own way to the terminal on foot.'"
