EAGLE, Colo.(AP) - Eagle County officials say a plane carrying seven people en route to Mexico slid off the runway in an aborted takeoff at Eagle County Regional Airport.

Eagle County spokeswoman Kris Friel says none of the passengers was injured during the attempted takeoff Friday afternoon. The plane was carrying four passengers and three crew members.

Friel says it's unknown what led to the aborted takeoff. The incident closed the airport's single runway for two hours. No flights were canceled, but eight were delayed.

Apparently the Mexican crew wasn't familiar with driving in snow and didn't know to steer into the skid.

That'll all buff out.

They'll need something - I'm pretty sure the main gear aren't designed to retract into the wing. And that actually looks like one "crash" that would have been semi-fun to be a passenger on.
