Default LGA Mad Dog Mishap

Looks like the venerable Mad dog has had yet another problem in LGA. I suspect Runway contamination in excess of what has been reported.
Thoughts?

Video on local news shows her nose up the embankment on the side of the runway. Thank God she didn't end up in the water...

Amazingly, the bird looks totally intact. Got to love McDonald Douglas and oldschool engineers. They built them tough~

Pax deplanning via overwing hatches as the nose is not accessible the way she's sitting.
Glad there was not fire and seems like there's no injuries.

NEW YORK (AP) - A Delta plane has skidded off a runway while landing at LaGuardia Airport. The Fire Department of New York says no injuries have been reported.
Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo (pehn-TAN'-jeh-loh) says the MD-80 went off the runway at around 11:10 a.m. Thursday.
WABC reports that the plane hit a fence. Pentangelo says he can't confirm that.
Pentangelo says the plane is apparently leaking fuel.
It isn't clear how many people were on board or where the flight had originated.

Posted this in the main Delta thread. As I said, there's a lot of water on the other side of that fence

Well, there's at least one real NY'er..
Standing there, in her fur coat, watching everything.
Whoever is taping this got a lot of footage of the evac.

The "new" world we live in.
LOL

PS) If there is a fuel leak, the CFR folks don't seem to be worried about it. Pax are not running away from the aircraft~

Definitely not pilot error. Delta pilots don't make any mistakes
