Congrats to the WSJ and to Andy Pasztor, for being the first in what is going to be an attempt to divert global attention from what really happened with the AA CRASH in Kingston, Jamaica. The facts stand tall here and NO attempt to mislead the world on what really happened will succeed.
Reports out of Jamaica from Jamaicans who were on the plane point to the plane landing in the middle, or near to the middle, of the runway. All the passengers clapped, as Jamaicans always do when a plane lands. Then all hell broke loose. The pilot is very experienced. But just maybe he was not on point on Tuesday night. All indicators in this CRASH point to pilot error and/or mechanical error. Nothing is wrong with the runway. In fact, the runways at Jamaica's two international airports are even better than many runways in many so-called first-world countries.
Several years ago when the runway at Norman Manley International Airport, in Kingston, where the accident occurred, was due an upgrade, the Jamaican government contracted with a first-world firm to do the upgrade. This firm recommended that Jamaica sourced the granite for the job from Canada. The great people of Jamaica were against sourcing granite from Canada, since we have granite in Jamaica. The Jamaican government went ahead and got the granite from Canada, to ensure that the runway meet global standards.
British Airways and Virgin Atlantic 747 jumbo jets land on that runway all the time in good and bad weather. Also, the Concorde, when it was around, used to land on that runway. And if that is not enough, the BIG US Military cargo plane, can't remember the name of it, that transports trucks, cranes, tractors, etc in times of disasters have landed on that runway to help with recovery efforts in Jamaica after hurricanes. One last thing, an AIR Jamaica plane landed at approximately 9:30 pm under the same conditions that same night. The AA crash occurred at approximately 10:20 pm.
Again, nothing is wrong with our runways in Jamaica. They are world class and better than many runways in many first-world countries. Poor visibility, pilot error, and or mechanical error caused this CRASH.
