Clumsy airplane slips on runway and skids into snow bank

12/31/2012

A GoJet Airlines plane in upstate New York bound for Chicago slipped on the runway and landed in a snow bank like a clumsy polar bear cub. Light snow had been falling all day at the Albany County Airport prior to the accident. The 66 passengers and four crew members were terrified, but luckily no one was injured. In a further stroke of luck, the accident didn’t even cause any delays at the airport. The plane was removed from the snow bank and the passengers returned to the airport by bus, where we’re going to assume they ran screaming through the concourse straight to their cars and drove to the nearest train station.
