JamaicaObserver.com: "THE type of seats carried by the Boeing 737-800 American Airlines aircraft which was damaged beyond economic repair when it crash-landed at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston December 22, figured highly in the passengers surviving the impact in such good shape.
Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Derby, director general of the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority, told the Observer that the 'new generation set of passenger seats' carried by the aircraft were constructed to withstand a force, on impact, of 16 times the weight of the passengers seated in them before dislodging."
