The plane was scheduled to land at Montego Bay International Airport and had already made several trips bringing supplies to the island. <\/p>\n \u201cIt sounded to me like two race cars, then \u2018boom,\u2019 like a quick hit or explosion,\u201d area resident Dawn Marrill told WSVN<\/a>. \u201cI looked up, and I saw, like, all this debris in the air. Like, it looked like somebody blew up a building, and it was just everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Robert Swinger-Vargas told the news outlet that he was in his car when he saw the plane go down and called 911.<\/p>\n \u201cNext thing we know, it just took a dive, and it went straight to the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
