Mike Pence Plane Skids Off LaGuardia Airport Runway
A campaign plane carrying Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence skidded off the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport during a rainstorm. The aircraft, an Eastern Airlines Boeing 737, fishtailed before being stopped by an EMAS arrestor bed, preventing it from sliding onto a nearby highway. Air traffic control audio revealed the tower urgently commanding the pilot to stop while a following JetBlue flight was forced to go around.
