let s try this again. this i were is notorius for being difficult to land. in bad weather it only gets worse. it s going to be something investigators are going to look closely at today. also in that weather, the driving snow could that have played a factor but the executive of the port authority said just before this plane landed two other planes landed and said their brakes were working okay. and that the runway had only just been plowed. we were out here yesterday and talked to a lot of passengers who had just gotten off the plane. pretty shaken. actually a lot of them were surprisingly calm given what they had been through. i think there was a lot of surprise. they said some of them the landing felt totally fine at first. and then suddenly when the plane began to skate and hit that grass and started to bump they realized just how things had gone wrong. when they got off the plane they realized how close they were to actually falling into the water. stephanie, thank you.
