I have flown into Norman Manley Intl. a few times, it's a small airport and there isn't much room if you end up going off the runway. Sequenced flashers for Rwy 12 are in the water and the departure end is pretty much on the beach. Airport terminal itself is nice and modern, very good Jamaican jerked chicken at the food court.

Lets not rush to judgment on this. The weather was bad and I am sure that those guys were doing everything they could to keep it under control. Our prayers to all of the crew and passengers.
There are some daylight pics now of the accident and it looks like the plane came to rest right next to the little lighthouse at the departure end of Rwy 12. You can see it in the approach picture I posted. They really did come close to ending up in the water.
