The hijacking of a plane at Sangster international airport is what Jamaican tourism needed like a hole in the head.
It seems the gunman – Stephen Fray who’s in his 20′s, was mentally ill – well it’s hardly something a sane person would do is it??
He boarded the Canjet plane which took off from Halifax, Canada, destined for Montego Bay and then Cuba, by forcing his way through security barriers at Sangster during the stopover. There were 182 passengers on board who were all let off in Jamaica but he kept hold of the six crew members from 11pm to 7am.
This is the worst thing that could have happened to Jamaica as it faces major economic trouble. International headlines like this could not have come at a worse time. On the bright side, at least everyone got out of it unharmed, that’s a major blessing.
