There was no explosion, and all 154 people on board the plane survived. More than 90 were taken to hospitals, but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening.
The flight from Miami touched down last night in a fierce rainstorm at Kingston's airport. By the time it skidded to a halt, battered and bruised passengers were screaming in panic."
