Jamaica plane crash pilot thanks crew

MIAMI (WSVN) -- The pilot of an American Airlines flight out of Miami that overshot and skidded off a Kingston, Jamaica runway Tuesday thanked his crew members at his South Florida homecoming Thursday.

"I have the highest gratitude for my first officer and the flight attendants that were with us on that flight to be able to get everybody home to their families," said Brian Cole.

Investigators believe stormy weather and a slick runway may have contributed to Flight 331's crash. All 154 people aboard survived.
