It is in the grass and though it is bad news for any golfer to hit out of, it is even worse news for an airplane, but that is exactly what happened to Delta Airlines' flight 4302, bound for Atlanta at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston.
The good news is that no one was hurt when the jet ran off the tarmac, but this marks yet another incident of a jet going off a tarmac in the last few weeks.
According to Inquisitr, back in February, a Romanian plan carrying 46 people veered off a runway, leaving six people hurt. The plane was making a routine landing at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport when something pushed it off course.
Delta spokesman Joe Williams said the Delta Connection flight, a Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft operated by Pinnacle Airlines, Inc., was carrying 76 passengers and a crew of four, reported Washington Post.
Ward said the incident didn't affect other flights, although Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory did say an airport runway was temporarily closed.
"The pilot reported a communication problem, returned to the gate but ended up taxiing on the grass, where the plan was stuck," Cory said, according to Washington Post.
The Houston accident also marks another mishap for Delta Air Lines in recent weeks. Back in January, a Delta jet at Boston's Logan International Airport was evacuated after a small fire broke out on the plane.
If this wasn't enough for a day, on the east coast, at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, An Air India flight hit a JetBlue plane leaving for West Palm Beach, Florida.
The Air India flight 102 landed on the tarmac and was heading toward the gate when its left wingtip struck the rudder of JetBlue flight 145.
"There was a noise. You could feel the vibration but I didn't know what happened," a passenger on the Air India flight said, according to Inquisitr.
