Slides Off Runway At Westchester Airport
A NetJets Cessna
Citation V rolled off the end of the runway at New York's
Westchester County Airport Thursday night. There were conflicting
reports on the number of passengers aboard the corporate aircraft.
Local media reports said there were four passengers and two crew
members on board -- the FAA accident report said there were only
two passengers. In either case, authorities on the ground said no
one was hurt.
The accident, at approximately 1800 local, forced officials to
close Westchester County Airport for most of the evening. Flight
operations resumed at about 2200. But hundreds of passengers were
forced to find accomodations for the night after many of them had
to walk from their planes across the snowy runways to get back to
the terminal.
