The Boeing 737-800 in question was operated by Miami Air International on Friday night from the Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba. He transferred 136 pbadengers and seven crew members. A total of 21 people were injured and transferred to local hospitals without serious injuries. A three-month-old baby was hospitalized as a preventive measure.

Local federal authorities yesterday investigated the cause of the aircraft landslide during the landing maneuver at the Jacksonville military base and its movement to the St. Johns River at the end of the track.

The ship was trying to land at 21:40 Friday in the middle of a thunderstorm when it struck and bounced off the ground on its landing, left the runway after a sharp turn and found itself at the above the waters of the river, despite the pilot's attempt to control it in the midst of lightning and thunder.

His pbadengers experienced moments of chaos and terror because of the jolts. As a result of the impact, the oxygen masks were deployed and the upper compartments were opened in the cabin, from which some of their contents fell.

When the ship was finally braked, the occupants climbed onto the wings to be rescued. After the evacuation of the pbadengers, the teams started to try to contain any fuel leaks.

"I think it's a miracle, we could talk about a completely different story," said Captain Michael Connor, commander-in-chief of the base after the incident.

The United States National Transportation Safety Council (NTSB) carried out expert appraisal at the incident site, where the aircraft was still partially submerged in waters shallow and without a cone of nose, which probably has the shock.

16 members of the investigation team managed to recover the black box of the flight of the aircraft. They also examined the aircraft and environmental and human factors to try to discover how the aircraft ended up in the river.

For the moment, it is unclear when the plane will be out of the river, but according to Connor, the landing gear has been placed on the river bed, making it unlikely that the aircraft will be out of the river. aircraft floats and drifts.
