Delta plane slides off runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Delta Air Lines jetliner with 125 passengers aboard slid off the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Thursday during a snowstorm, but there were no reported injuries.

    Delta Flight 1086 was landing at LaGuardia after flying from Atlanta, the airline said. Passengers were evacuated from the aircraft on slides and moved to the terminal on buses.

    LaGuardia's runways were closed soon after the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration announced after the plane skidded off a runway.

    Images from local media showed the Delta plane on a snowy runway area with its nose smashed into a fence.
