MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A plane carrying Vikings players and staff slid off the runway at the Appleton airport Friday evening.
It happened at around 6:20 p.m. as the plane was taxiing after landing, according to one of the passengers. No one was injured in the incident, but passengers sat on the plane for hours while crews tried to figure out how to de-board.
While taxiing after a safe landing, the team plane slid off the runway and became stuck. We are waiting patiently to exit the plane.
