“The plane made a rough impact when it landed. The pilot slammed on the brakes and travelers could smell burning rubber,” according to a CBS report. “Pence says mud splashed on the front windows of the cockpit.”
Once the plane came to a stop, emergency crews were quickly activated.
“It was the craziest landing I’ve ever experienced,” Pence said, according to Fox News.
CBS notes that LaGuardia is “closed until further notice.”
