Snowfall in Midwest: Plane skids off runway during landing at Chicago's airport

India TV News  

Snowfall in the Midwest is taking its toll on air travel in Chicago as one plane trying to land at O'Hare International Airport slid off the runway. None of the 38 passengers and three crew members aboard an Envoy Air flight from Greensboro, North Carolina, were hurt when the plane slid off the runway at about 7:45 a.m. on Monday. Besides the flights canceled at O'Hare, snow and ice have forced airlines to cancel more than 90 flights at Chicago's Midway International Airport. The National Weather Service says is expecting as much as 6 inches of snow in Illinois and up to 10 inches in northwest Indiana and southwest Michigan.
