A plane crash was narrowly avoided yesterday when a Boeing 737-700 skidded of the runway at Chicago’s Midway airport. All 134 passengers escaped unharmed after the plane came to rest 150ft from the airports boundary wall.
The plane had circled the airport several times after heavy rain had made landing extremely difficult, however the plane came into land at around 1.30pm on runway 13 of all numbers and the longest runway at the airport.
The Boeing skidded off the runway and ran onto the grass, luckily none was injured, airport officials closed a section of the airport where the plane had finished and confirmed they would be investigating the accident.

Bad news is someone could have gotten hurt. Good news is no one was hurt. We know such incidents are not intentional. Let's just hope that it won't happen again. After all, passengers want to leave and arrive at the airport safely. We want to feel comfortable and secure before and after we get our feet off the ground.
