Accident on Runway

This past weekend proved to be an unexpected shock to many travelers. A plane travelling to Florida from Ohio ended up skidding off a runway when trying to land. After the plane stopped, "it got stuck in the grass" and the passengers were left terrified.

The plane in question had about 150 passengers who were boarded at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. The airline offered these petrified passengers refunds or a complimentary stay in a hotel room for the night.

The director of aviation commented, "that the Allegiant Air flight from St. Petersburg, Fla., landed and went into the grass, possibly after taking a turn that was too wide while taxiing". Subsequently, the passengers were taken off the plane slowly and were bused to the terminal. Though there were no injuries, many might still be in shock after what happened. Transfer America hopes that all the passengers remain safe and collected through this whole experience.
