Vikings Plane Slides Off Runway In Appleton, No Injuries

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.

Eventually, airport personnel began taking players and coaches off with ladder trucks.

The Vikings are facing off against the Green Bay Packers for another Border Battle Saturday.
