KINGSTON, Jamaica – What is being described as a “horror crash landing” in Kingston, Jamaica, late Tuesday of American Airlines Flight AA 331 from Miami by the international media should instead be referred to as an “incident” and not a crash, the official Jamaica Information Service said on Wednesday.

A Technical Officer at the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ) reportedly informed JIS News on Wednesday that the term incident should be used as there were no fatalities.

Caribbean Net News has received a number of pictures of the “incident” in question showing the Boeing 737 jet’s fuselage broken into several pieces.

Miraculously, all 154 passengers and crew survived, with 91 mainly minor injuries, officials said.
