A jetliner landing at LaGuardia Airport in a driving snowstorm yesterday skidded off a runway and crashed through a chain-link fence, its nose coming to rest on a berm at the edge of an icy bay.
Delta Flight 1086, carrying 125 passengers and five crew members, was flying in from Atlanta.
Six people were hurt in the accident, which came just minutes after the runway had been snow-ploughed.
At the time of the crash landing, snow was falling.
LaGuardia's relatively short runways and waterfront location leave little room for error, especially in bad weather.
