Plane carrying Pence skids off runway

(CNN) A plane carrying Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence skidded off a runway Thursday night as it landed at LaGuardia Airport in New York.

None of the 48 people on board were injured in the rough landing, which occurred on a rainy Thursday evening in the city.

The FAA confirmed the jet became bogged down in a special Engineered Material Arresting System _EMAS_

The press pool in the back of the aircraft, a Boeing 737-700 chartered from Eastern Airlines that was painted with the campaign's logo, could feel the plane fishtailing as it touched down and sliding off the runway before coming to a very sharp halt in the grass off the side of the runway.
