No injuries were reported when a Southwest Airlines plane slid off a runway at Midway Airport and into a patch of mud this afternoon, officials said.
The plane, Flight 1919 from Denver, was carrying 144 crew and passengers, including several babies, according to fire department officials.
The incident happened at about 1:35 p.m., said Fire Department spokesman Quention Curtis. Passengers remained on the Boeing 737 while buses were dispatched to bring them to the terminal, according to fire communications.
The plane landed on runway 13 Center and slid off the left edge near the end of the runway, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
It came to rest on a grassy area near 63rd Street and Cicero Avenue about 150 feet from a wall separating the airport grounds from the street, with the nose pointed directly at a White Castle drive-through across Cicero, officials said.
