Plane Skids Off Runway at LaGuardia Airport, Crashes Through Fence
March 5, 2015 - 127 Passengers, 5 Crew Members Evacuated; 24 Non-Life Threatening Injuries.
Port Authority officials say a runway had been plowed shortly before a Delta flight skidded and crashed through a fence as it landed Thursday morning at LaGuardia Airport.
It happened just as Delta Flight 1086 was coming in from Atlanta.
Photos showed the aircraft sitting in the snow with its nose through a fence near the water. Passengers could be seen exiting the plane off the wing and trudging through the snow.

Jet skids off runway at airport in Nepal
March 5, 2015 A Turkish Airlines jet carrying 224 people skidded off a runway at Kathmandu's airport, forcing those on board to evacuate and effectively shutting down Nepal's airport. The Airbus A330's crew first tried landing the plane around 7 a.m. Wednesday (8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday), getting very close to a runway but not touching down. That was followed by an announcement that the aircraft couldn't land due to poor visibility.


About 45 minutes later, though, the crew tried again.
This time, the Turkish Airlines plane did get on the ground but it didn't stay on the runway.
The aircraft skidded off, screeching to a stop with its nose pitched down.
