Jamaica Gleaner News "Coming home for the holidays is usually a happy occasion.
But for Victoria Tavares-Finson, it was not the joyous occasion she thought it would be. As a passenger on American Airlines Flight 331, she was caught up in the hubbub when the aircraft overshot the runway coming to a halt metres from the sea. The 18-year-old, who attends school in Boston, Massachusetts, said she thought all was going well with the flight but things changed quickly.
'I thought it was a routine landing until we hit the wall. They didn't tell us to brace or anything,' she said when The Gleaner contacted her yesterday. Tavares-Finson struck her head, breaking her nose. To compound matters, luggage from the overhead compartment struck her. She also has a deep cut above her eye."
