Runway excursion by DL MD-80
 

Not much more than that really, they are saying a DL MD80 "skidded" off rwy on landing-airfield currently closed.

La Guardia looks like all personnel ok thankfully

At La Guardia apparently, for those who are wondering Breaking: Delta plane slides off runway at LaGuardia [photos] | Twitchy

LGA - OA (reported as DL) aircraft slid off runway....Field is closed....some flights to return to point of origin and others diverting.

When?
 

Of course we do not know the exact facts yet, but it would seem safe to say that the weather conditions at least contributed to the final result of runway excursion.
When will the JFK airports start concerning themselves more with safety rather than getting sued.
They never give you any information about the runway conditions or breaking actions, except for pilot reports and that is only useful if someone had landed recently and was able to give an accurate report.

Television now shows the nose of the plane elevated on a ridge of snow(?) that has it nose up and tail down, and nose is up against a fence. Passsengers evacuating using overwing exits and slide.

spoilers/speed brake???? missing in the video unless the flight crew had the capacity to retract after it came to a rest before Evac..

just a thought..

Platinum Flyer: that's not a ridge of snow - it looks like the levee/berm that separate the runway from Flushing Bay - at the end of RW 13. Or - it may have slid off the North side of the runway and ended up against the berm that separates the runway from the East River. Quite a ride for sure.

Delta now reporting it's an MD-88

That's the same spot (I believe) that US Air 405 went into Flushing Bay back in 1992.

Looks like it slid off the left side of the runway (north) and hit the East River berm.

Had it slid off the right (south) - it would have headed towards the terminal and parked aircraft. :eek:

Archived ATIS
 

Is there a link to archived arrival and or departure ATIS?

Runway Choice
 

The aircraft is off the side of the runway after apparently shooting the ILS to runway 13.

Weather:
KLGA 051651Z 32016KT 1/4SM R04/2800V4000FT SN FZFG FEW006 OVC012 M03/M05 A3015 RMK AO2 SLP210 P0005 T10331050

What happened to the nose gear? Or at least the tracks that a nose gear would have left in the snow?

Tailwind
 

ILS to 13 with winds 320 at 16??

some news reports are suggesting that the berm is the one at the SE end of the runway.., not the one at the side.

they are also suggesting that this indicates a possible downwind landing

winds at LGA have been NW to NE over the last few hours

At the time of the landing they were calling the winds 020 at 10..

Considering the weather we've had in the area the past couple of days, this comes as no surprise. (Snow, ice, sleet) All other area airports (JFK, Westchester and Newark/Liberty are experiencing delays of up to 3 hours because of the weather.)

Flight/aircraft details
 

Registration visible in instagram video is N909DL.

It was an MD-88 registered in 1987, operating flight DL1086 from ATL.

Delta Flight Number
 

DL1086 Departed from KATL

that's definitely the berm on the NE side of the runway. Looks like the aircraft slid down the berm a bit - taking out the fence as it slid down the berm.
