Nobody was injured.
The plane carrying Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence skidded off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York last night.
The incident occurred in heavy rain, with the plane ending up on the grass next to the runway.
Pence was filmed standing in the rain, close to the plane, talking to officials and people from the emergency services.
“When we landed here we had pretty hard landing and then we felt the back of the plane start to fishtail and you could just feel the plane moving in a way that was not straight on the runway like a normal landing would go,” said CNN Producer Elizabeth Landers, who had been on board.
“The plane continued to proceed down… then we came to a very, very sort of quick and harsh halt on the runway.
“Governor Pence and his staff are fine and there are a lot of rescue crews. Governor Pence came to the back of the plane to make sure everyone was all right.
“There is significant damage to the runway. You can see divots where the wheels of the plane had been. Everyone is fine but definitely a little rattled.
“Judging by what I am seeing it looks like cement has been torn up by the wheels of the plane. The plane is off the runway. The plane is in the grass. One of the wheels is completely in the grass. In fact the entire plane is in the grass.”
