"Plane slips at Heathrow taxiway


Passengers were unhurt in the incident


A plane has slipped off a taxiway at Heathrow Airport lodging its front wheel in a grassy area.
The snow and ice are being blamed for the incident which happened when the Cyprus Airways flight landed at 0820 GMT and was moving to Terminal 1.
The British Airports Authority (BAA) said passengers are unharmed and were remaining on the aircraft. A BAA spokesperson said the front wheel of the plane had landed in the grass area and was being removed. BAA said the aeroplane was the last flight to land before both the runways at the airport were closed due to snow."
