NEW YORK (AP) — Officials say six people aboard a plane from Atlanta that skidded off a runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York while landing have injuries, but none that are life threatening. The plane crashed through a chain-link fence and sent passengers sliding down an inflated chute to safety on the snowy pavement. Delta Flight 1086 was carrying 125 passengers and five crew members. Images show the plane resting in several inches of snow.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Heavy snow has left hundreds of vehicles stuck on rural stretches of interstates in Kentucky. Gov. Steve Beshear (buh-SHEER') says that at one point, more than 400 vehicles were stuck along westbound I-24 in western Kentucky. Others are stranded along a stretch of I-65 in the central part of the state. Police say some people have been there since last night. A winter storm dumped nearly 2 feet of snow in parts of the state overnight.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Authorities in South Korea say the man who's in custody in today's knife attack on the U.S. ambassador has a long history of anti-U.S. protests. They say he told them he attacked Ambassador Mark Lippert to protest U.S. and South Korean military drills that started this week. Lippert received 80 stitches to close a wound in his face. He tweeted that he's doing well and is in "great spirits."
PHOENIX (AP) — Family members of Travis Alexander say they're saddened that a jury in Phoenix wasn't able to reach a decision on whether to sentence Jodi Arias to death for the killing of Alexander, who had been her lover. The deadlock means that Arias won't be executed -- and a judge will sentence her next month to either life in prison or a life term with the possibility of release after 25 years.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the late 1980s, support for gay marriage was essentially unheard of in America. Just a quarter century later, a survey suggests that it's now favored by clear majority of Americans. That dramatic shift in opinion is among the fastest changes ever measured by the General Social Survey. It's a widely respected survey that has measured trends on a huge array of American attitudes for more than four decades. Just a third of the people surveyed say they're opposed to same-sex marriage.
