[NBCNewYork] Vice presidential candidate Mike Pence's campaign plane slid off the runway after landing at LaGuardia Airport Thursday evening, tearing up two tracks of concrete before coming to rest on a patch of grass.
The governor was checked to make sure he was OK, but no injuries were reported, according to an NBC campaign embed on the scene.
The plane, which was coming from Fort Dodge, Iowa -- about a three-hour flight from New York -- made a rough impact when it landed. The pilot slammed on the brakes and travelers could smell burning rubber.
Pence says mud splashed on the front windows of the cockpit.
Um, it wasn't on the outside, and wasn't mud either.
