By AFPMore by this AuthorNEW YORKRepublican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence's campaign plane slid off the runway after landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport Thursday evening, the campaign said. "We could feel the plane sliding off the runway and then (it) came to a very sharp halt" after landing, CNN producer Elizabeth Landers, who was on the plane, told the channel. The Boeing 737 slid completely off the runway onto grass next to the tarmac, she added, saying there was mud and grass on the plane's body and "gashes" on the runway. "So thankful everyone on our plane is safe," he tweeted after the incident. "He reached out to Governor Pence and he is very glad everyone aboard is safe," she said.
