Boeing 737 jet slides into Florida river with 136 on board, no casualties

A Boeing 737 commercial jet with 136 people on board slid into the St. John's River near Jacksonville, Florida after landing on Friday, a spokesman for Naval Air Station Jacksonville said.

There were no reports of fatalities.

The flight arriving from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay went into the river at the end of the runway at about 9:40 pm local time, the air station said.

The mayor of Jacksonville said on Twitter that everyone on board the flight was "alive and accounted for" but that crews were working to control jet fuel on the water.
