A flight from Texas to Minnesota skidded off the runway when trying to land on Friday, Feb. 23.
The United Airlines flight, 878, was slated to land in Minneapolis but was diverted twice to different locations in Wisconsin.
The flight originally left Houston around 9:09 p.m. and was first diverted to Madison.
The flight took off again from Madison to Minneapolis but a second diversion left it landing in Green Bay.
During the second diverted landing, the plane skidded off the runway.
Video taken from inside the plane by passenger Mike Henderson shows passengers looking concerned.
DeSimio said that the passengers were escorted off about 45 minutes after landing. The plane had skidded around 125 feet off of the runway.
“You couldn’t feel the brakes biting at all, and then suddenly bumpity bump, we’re sitting in the weeds at the end of the runway,” one passenger told NBC26.
United said that there were 180 passengers and seven crew members on board.
“There were no injuries and we have arranged transport for passengers from the aircraft to the airport terminal. We apologize to our customers and have provided hotel accommodations.”
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
