And we experienced turbulence coming in and when we landed a pretty hard landing and the selfperceived back of the plane starts fish tails and you could feel the plane do things that wasnt straight on the run way like a normal landing would go. The plane continues to proceed down the runway in that way sorry im being moved on the tarmac right now. And then we came to a very, very, sort of quick and harsh halt there on the runway. And everyone is fine on the airplane. There are no injuries. Governor pence and his staff are fine. And there are a lot of rescue crews here. Im not sure if you are seeing the poll shoot. Yes we are. Reporter there appear to be police and fire rescue here. And there is significant damage to the run way here as well. It looks like you can see divots where the wheels of the plane
dug into the runway and damaged the runway. They are going to have to do reconstruction for this part of the runway. Everyone is fine but liz, how long from the moment you touched down
could feel the plane fish tailing in the back and then probably after 20 or 30 seconds they slammed on the brakes of the airplane and we all sort of sat there in silence and were wondering what was going on. member of the secret service came back and said that there was no structural damage to the airplane that but that we were off the runway. and at that point governor pence came back to make sure that everybody was okay. he just checked in with the press and said are you guys doing okay? he said there was mud on his window. that indicated to us that we had run off the runway. and as i sort of told you a minute ago, the plane is fully off the tarmac. and it is in the grass here. it looks like the tarmac and the concrete was pretty dug up and pretty badly damaged upon landing. and you said it felt like it was skidding from the rear of
maybe the back wheels not working. i m not sure. but it did nod feel like a smooth straight landing and after 20 or 30 seconds the plane came to a bankrupt halt. and governor pence came back after the plane stopped and made sure everybody was okay and he said there was mud on his window. and upon deplaning the press saw that the plane ran completely off of the runway there. and liz what was the event tonight that the governor was going to? i know it was a fundraiser. any idea how much it was going to mean for the campaign? and kuhn whdo you know what his schedule is tomorrow? reporter: i don t have any details on the fundraiser tonight other than it was going to be another closed door fundraiser. and he s been continuing to fundraise. he had a fundraiser yesterday in utah. a small group of people.
reporter: correct. yes. absolutely no injuries and in fact governor pence immediately came back once it was fully stopped and made sure that everybody, including the press was okay. and he said that he saw mud on his window up at the front of the airplane. at that point we could definitely tell we were off the runway. we weren t exactly sure in the back what we were seeing out the windows. and so he came back and said that he saw that we were you have to runway. so the plane itself to your understanding stopped off the side of a runway in grass or in mud. yes. exactly. the plane is off the runway, yes. do you know how far off the runway it is? let me look. we re still here. we re getting moved out of the area. if you got to leave you got to leave. don t worry about it. the plane is in the grass. one of the wheels is fully in the grass. one of the wheels is completely in actually the entire plane is on the grass at the tarmac
