A Delta flight went off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Thursday morning, stopping just short of Flushing Bay. FDNY rushed to the scene as Delta Flight 1086, an MD-88 arriving from Atlanta, skidded off runway 13, was leaking fuel and had a broken wing after striking a fence during blizzard conditions. The airport initially reported that the plane had caught fire, though there were no visible signs from the scene. The plane was immediately evacuated, and all 127 passengers and five crew members were safely removed within 30 minutes of the plane's landing, walking out on the broken wing and going down a slide. LaGuardia was shut down soon after the incident as the plane was leaking 300 gallons of fuel at a rate of a gallon a minute, with all incoming flights being diverted and outgoing flights being grounded. The fuel leak was quickly contained. Scroll down for videos . Scene: A Delta flight slid off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Thursday morning .

The transcript from the tower shows that the flight was given the all clear to land on the runway and told that the breaking action had been reported as 'good.' Once the plane hit the runway it did not respond to the tower, and as soon as the air traffic controllers realized what happened they immediately announced the airport was closed. 'Customers deplaned via aircraft slides and have moved to the terminal on buses,' Delta said in a statement. 'Our priority is ensuring our customers and crew members are safe. Delta will work with all authorities and stakeholders to look into what happened in this incident.' The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey reported that two planes that landed just before the Delta flight reported good breaking on the runway, and that the plane skid roughly 5,000 feet down the runway. 'I think the pilot did everything he could to slow the aircraft down,' said Port Authority head Patrick J. Foye during a news conference. I'm not even sure what went through my mind because you're not even sure what's happening,' said passenger Mark Clafter. 'And then it wasn't until the plane came to a stop that all of the sudden you think, 'Holy cow! We just skidded off the runway."' He added that through it all,, 'no one was screaming, no one was freaking out, and when we came to a dead stop people were actually really calm.' He said that when they stopped all power went out and the pilot had no way of speaking to the passengers, but even then no one panicked.
