NEW YORK - A Tampa bound flight skidded off the runway at a New York airport this morning.

Suffolk police say a Southwest flight 4695 skidded of the MacArthur Airport Thursday.

There were 129 passengers on board at the time of the incident, according to a released statement.

The passengers got of the plane and were taken back to the terminal, where they boarded a replacement plane to Tampa.
