Jet Skids Off Runway at LaGuardia in New York; 23 Hurt, Airport Closed

BALTIMORE, Maryland March 5, 2015 - A Jet has just skidded off of a runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York. While some 23 injuries have been reported, of which six were hospitalized with what are called non-life-threatening injuries, the plane did not break apart. The only visible damage is just to the right of the nose of the aircraft, but less than a foot behind the cockpit. Nevertheless, the 11:09 am incident, which occurred in a snowstorm, caused officials to close the large airport, one of two in New York.

The Delta Jet is photographed after the incident with its nose and front landing gear on top of a small embankment, and the rest of the plane on a lower area.
