No one was injured in the incident which occurred less than two weeks before the US presidential election, crucial campaign days for Pence and running mate Donald Trump. "So thankful everyone on our plane is safe," the Indiana governor said on Twitter after the incident. The Boeing 737 was coming in for a landing and went off the runway at about 7.40pm local time (2340 GMT). The plane was stopped by a crushable type of concrete runway that arrested the aircraft's movement, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said. The plane was coming from Fort Dodge, Iowa, where Pence had participated in a campaign event.
