American Airlines (NYSE: AMR) flight 331 skidded off the end of a runway in Jamaica. The jet was a Boeing (NYSE: BA) 737-800, one of the airline's newest models. There were 148 passengers aboard, and reports have about 40 taken to a hospital with a few broken bones and back pains. No fatalities have been reported.

There was heavy rain on the runway when the landing was attempted.
