MD - 80 plane skids off runway at LaGuardia Airport

[gregjrichards]

"An aircraft skidded on the runway at LaGuardia Airport and crashed into a fence as a blinding wintry mix coated the region Thursday morning, Port Authority officials and sources familiar with the situation tell NBC 4 New York.

It wasn't clear how many people were on the Delta plane when it slid off the runway around 11 a.m., nor was it known if it was landing or taking off. There was no immediate word on injuries.

Photos posted to Twitter and other social media showed the tail of the plane dipping into the snow; it's nose was pointed to the air."

CNN is reporting all planes are being cancelled or diverted from LGA.

No problem thanks Yoda.

Glad nobody has been seriously injured. I bet it was very scary though.

I'm not sure if this will work, but this is the audio (condensed) of the tower. It couldn't raise the aircraft on the radio and was alerted by ? That the plane had left the runway.
