Flight 331 was carrying 145 passengers plus seven crew members and was going from Miami to Kingston operations coordinator at Norman Manley International Airport. The flight originated in Washington DC.
The Jamaica Observer newspaper said the plane arrived in pouring rain at around 10:20 p.m. local time and overshot the runway.
The plane crashed and broke in two after landing.
An American Airlines spokesman, Charlie Wilson, said bad weather contributed to the incident.
A Radio Jamaica reporter, Kirk Abraham, said it had been raining in the area and the plane ran into a fence after overshooting the runway.

Wow....broke in two. That would be scary....freaky.
I do tend to think something bad might happen on a flight I'm on. But once it's in the air and I'm comfortable I fall asleep. It is not a terrible fear. Just one I tend to think. Funny since I don't think that when I'm driving in a car. I more likely to die in a car than an airplane.
It's a good thing there were no fatalities. Everyone was a bit jostled and some were a bit more jostled but they will hopefully all be a ok.
