American Airlines flight AA331 with 154 people was landing in heavy rain at Jamaica's Kingston airport when it overshot the runway resulting in 40+ injured. One of the jet's engines broke off, it's landing gear fell apart and the aircraft body was cracked in the accident. 

The flight had originated at Washington's Reagan National Airport and had stopped at Miami before travelling on to Kingston it crash landed at 10:22pm.

"The aircraft totally overshot the runway and ended up over the road in the sand," said Paul Hall, senior vice president of operations at Norman Manley International Airport.

Passengers had initially applauded what appeared to be a safe landing at the popular winter sun destination, according to media reports.

But the Boeing 737 jet ploughed through the perimeter fence, skidded across a road and ended up on the beachfront. The airport was immediately closed and all other flights diverted.

Information Minister Daryl Vaz told the Jamaica Observer newspaper that most of the 40 injured passengers were taken to Kingston Public Hospital and that there were no reports of fatalities.

"Preliminary reports indicate there are no serious injuries," American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said in a recorded statement.
