Plane Skids Off Runway at LaGuardia Airport

A Delta plane that skidded off a snowy runway at LaGuardia Airport Thursday morning came perilously close to going into Flushing Bay.

Flight 1086, which took off from Atlanta at 9:05 a.m., was attempting to land at LaGuardia when it skidded off Runway 13 and crashed into a fence at about 11:09 a.m. The nose of the plane came to rest just feet from Flushing Bay.

Video from the scene shows passengers leaving the plane, an MD-88, through an emergency exit.

According to the FDNY, 24 people suffered minor injuries and three of them were taken to the hospital.

There were 125 passengers and five crew members aboard the plane, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

LaGuardia has shut down following the incident and is not expected to reopen before 7 p.m., according to the FAA’s website.
