Mike Pence's plane skids off runway at LGA
CNN reporting live right right now. Rainy weather, poor visibility. Passengers report "pretty hard landing" followed by plane skidding off the concrete. Apparently "significant damage to the runway". All on board are ok.

Sounds like the callsign was Eastern 3452, a 737 landing off the ILS runway 22.
Wind was given as 110 at 9 by the tower controller.
Anybody know who uses 'Eastern' these days?

Les Abend, a CNN aviation analyst, also suggested on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that low temperatures in New York could have made the runway near freezing, complicating the landing.
Looks like the accident occurred around 2340Z.

Airbubba, it seems you're spot on. According to the Wiki thing, the current version of EAL has one 737-700 with 64 "business" class seats. This is the Trump/Pence plane.
I believe it's N278EA, aka "Spirit of the American Soldier." For spotter value, this aircraft originally started with Maersk Airlines in 1998 and then went through some others in its history.
They have a couple other aircraft in the mix other than the four 162-seat 737-800s as can be seen on the Wiki link above.

Having "Eastern airlines" and making America great again " in the same sentence /airframe is kind or ironic/sarcastic for those old enough to remember ..
Wondering about flap position, and stowed reversers...Not speculating on either, but the flaps appear not to be in the 30, (and definitely not in the 40) position.
Stowed reversers could be just that...stowed after stopping and shutting down, (one can hear the engines winding down in one of the live, interior videos). During the evacuation filming one can hear the APU running.
Just some early observations, nothing implied.
