Luis Palau and family among airplane crash survivors

Investigators are looking into what caused American Airlines Flight 331 to crash in Kingston, Jamaica, reports MNN.

The plane was attempting to land during a fierce rainstorm on Dec 22. Passengers said it was a rough landing, causing the aircraft to skid across the runway and stop abruptly on the sandy beach a few feet from the Caribbean Sea. One of the jet engines broke off from the wing, and the fuselage was cracked in several places.

The Luis Palau Association says Andrew and Wendy Palau and their three children, Christopher, Jonathan and Sadie, were among the 154 people who survived the crash, escaping with minor injuries. They were traveling to Jamaica for the Christmas holidays to visit Wendy's Jamaican family. The family lost all of their belongings and documents.

Luis Palau said, "We are grateful to the Lord that no one on the flight suffered any life-threatening injuries. Andrew has a couple black eyes from hitting his head during the crash, but we are extremely thankful the family was not seriously hurt."

Keep praying--Andrew Palau returns to lead Fun in the Son Festival in March.
