Again Plane ‘land inside waters’ in US as many are declared injured by local authorities

21 people were reportedly declared injured on friday when a Boeing 737 plane carrying 143 passengers missed its runway into a shallow river in Jacksonville, Florida.

The unfortunate occurrence took place while it was endeavoring to land at an army base amid a tempest.

The incident had no reports of deaths or serious wounds. However, 21 people were taken to the emergency clinic for minor wounds according to BBC reports.

“The plane, a chartered Boeing 737-800 arrived from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba with 136 passengers and seven crew members, but it crashed into the St Johns River at the end of the runway at Naval Air Station Jacksonville at about 9:40 pm local time,

“The plane was not submerged. Every person is alive and accounted for.” - The Sheriff’s Office of Jacksonville gave an update on the incident through twitter.

The sheriff’s also posted two photos showing the plane, bearing the logo of Miami Air International, resting in a shallow water without harm together with his tweet.

Miami Air International is a contracted carrier working an armada of the Boeing 737-800, not the same as the 737 MAX 8 airplane that has been grounded following two deadly crashes involving that plane.
