FDNY is responding to La Guardia for a Delta airplane off the runway.

Laguardia Airport, Queens, NYC. FDNY responding with a 2nd Alarm assignment for Delta flight 1086 skidded off the runway and struck a fence. *WXDH
 
Hey but the chick posting the video in the NYP story "almost got killed landing on the damn tarmac." Ugh. Idiots...
 
Didn't NWA do this in MKE? IIRC NWA sued the airport for not keeping the runway clear. That's why they started closing the airport once there was a snowflake on the ground.
 
I was just commenting yesterday to someone that I was surprised we hadn't had more slide off incidents given this season's WX.

Looks like they were lucky to hit that hill at a relatively slow speed.
 
I honestly don't understand DL's decision making process sometimes, esp. during IROPs. While most every other carrier pre-cancels flights, there always seems to be DL flights going... Until a mishap happens then all of the sudden they will cancel. I've been noticing this for the past few winter storms for the last few years.

No apologies for my maximum-performance landings followed by maximum-effort stops in various and sundry snowy locales.

Glad I'm not out in that snow today.
 
Braking action: OMGWTF!

Glad everyone is ok. No matter what happens I feel for the crew. Has to be the worst feeling in the world.

Side note, NYC needs to build an island airport like Osaka that can actually handle traffic, build a high speed rail line to downtown, and shut down all three of the crapholes they call airports.
 
Talking heads are focusing on the high tech tests for runways friction. "Who's at fault?" is a popular question.
