American Airlines Plane Overshoots Runway in Jamaica

An American Airlines jetliner has overshot the runway at the airport
in the Jamaican capital Kingston, injuring at least 40 people.

The Boeing 737 jet overran the runway at Norman Manley International
Airport late Tuesday as it was coming in for a landing during a heavy
rainstorm. The plane went through a fence at the end of the runway and
skidded over a roadway before coming to rest on a beach. There were no
reports of any fatalities.

More than 150 people were on board the flight, which originated in
Washington and stopped in Miami before heading to Kingston.

A spokesman for American Airlines says part of the plane's landing gear
collapsed, and one engine on the right side fell off the wing.
