Delta Airlines plane skids off New York airport runway during snowstorm

#LaGuardiaAirport #NewYork #DeltaAirLines #FlushingBay It was a miraculous escape for the passengers on board a Delta Airlines plane when it ended up just meters from the waterfront after crashing through a fence as it skidded off the runway No 13 of LaGuardia airport, New York. This has been reported by news.sky.com dated 5 March 2015.
The plane was carrying 127 passengers and five crew and it apparently veered off while landing at the airport during a snowstorm. The nose of the aircraft ended up lying over the fence at the edge of Flushing Bay.
The aircraft had veered to the left when it was about 4,500-5,000ft down the 7,000ft long runway and the reason for the skidding is yet to be established.
The incident occurred on Flight 1086 from Atlanta and they were evacuated via the escape slides and subsequently shifted by buses to a nearby terminal. It seems at least six people were hurt but the authorities have said the injuries were minor. The temperature was around -3C (26F).
