Slate has an
article by
Ben Mathis-Lilley about a slippery situation:
New York City's LaGuardia airport will be closed until at least 7 pm after a Delta airplane carrying a reported 149 individuals skidded off a runway in stormy winter weather; no serious injuries have been reported. The plane was landing on the airport's runway 13, adjacent to the water of the East River and Flushing Bay, and slid up a safety berm and through a fence before coming to a stop. Passengers on Flight 1086, which was arriving from Atlanta, left the plane via inflated emergency slide. New York City's JFK airport, and the nearby Newark airport in New Jersey, are (for the moment) still open.
Rico says that'd've been a scary moment...
