Mike Pence's Plane Skids Off Runway at NYC's LaGuardia Airport, Prompting Airport's Closure

An aircraft carrying Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence slid off the runway Thursday night while landing at LaGuardia Airport in the New York City borough of Queens, prompting the closure of the airport.

"Due to a plane skidding off the runway, #LaGuardia is currently closed until further notice. Check with your airline for additional info," New York City's official emergency notification system tweeted.

There were no injuries. Passengers, including Pence, were evacuated through the back of the plane.

A Trump campaign spokesperson told ABC News, "Mr. Trump did reach out to Gov. Pence and is very glad everyone on board plane is safe."

According to an ABC News reporter on the aircraft, the GOP vice-presidential candidate came back to check on everyone on the plane and said there was mud on the windows and the plane had skid onto the grass.

It's not that bad. Then again, you hate flying all together.

Quite true, but that one was always the worst.
