It was a miracle that no one was hurt.

A passenger airliner has skidded off the runway at LaGuardia airport in New York City amid snowy conditions.

The Big Apple has been suffering a relative snowstorm this morning and as seen in this footage of a Delta MD-88 that landed on the tarmac skidded past the airport fence due to the conditions.

Emergency officials were called to the airport at around 11:00 local time but thankfully no injuries have been reported.

One of the passengers managed to record this footage after leaving the aircraft via the emergency slides.

Here’s some images from the location.
