NEW YORK (AP) — Fire officials in New York say if there are any injuries from this morning's incident at LaGuardia airport, they are minor ones.
A plane from Atlanta skidded off a runway while landing, crashing through a chain-link fence and apparently losing its right wing.
The plane carried 125 passengers and five crew members.
Images show the plane resting in the snow, and its right wing appears to have been sheared off. Video shows passengers trudging through the snow in an orderly line after climbing off the plane.
Delta said the passengers deplaned down inflated aircraft sides before being bused to a terminal. It said the airline will work with authorities to figure out what caused the crash.
A spokesman with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the plane is apparently leaking fuel.
