Plane Crash: Delta flight carrying 130 Crashes through a Fence in New York

A Delta flight slid off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Thursday morning   





 

A Delta flight went off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, stopping just short of Flushing Bay. FDNY rushed to the scene as Delta Flight 1086, an MD-88 arriving from Atlanta, skidded off runway 13 and was leaking fuel and had a broken wing after striking a fence during blizzard conditions. The airport initially reported that the plane had caught fire, though there were no visible signs from the scene.

The plane was immediately evacuated, and all 127 passengers and five crew members were safely removed within 30 minutes of the plane's landing, walking out on the broken wing and going down a slide. LaGuardia was shut down soon after the incident as the plane was leaking 300 gallons of fuel at a rate of a gallon a minute, with all incoming flights being diverted and outgoing flights being grounded.

The fuel leak was quickly contained.  Thank God no life was lost. A terrified passenger tweeter above.  see more photos from the scene below
