A Delta Airlines flight reportedly carrying Carolina Panthers players ran off the runway after landing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Friday morning.
The incident occurred around 2:35 a.m. when Delta Flight 8860 landed at the North Carolina airport after taking off from Providence, Rhode Island, shortly after midnight, according to WCNC.
“The right main gear on Delta 8860 exited the taxiway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport after a normal arrival,” the airline shared.
Emergency vehicles rushed to the plane moments after the aircraft left the runway, according to the outlet.
Witnesses at the Charlotte airport told the outlet that the plane was carrying an unknown number of Carolina Panthers players, who had played the New England Patriots in an NFL preseason game hours earlier.
Fortunately, Delta Airlines confirmed that none of the 188 customers on board were injured in the potentially catastrophic incident.
Passengers were able to safely exit the plane shortly after the incident and were “bussed to the terminal,” Delta said.
“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” Delta said in its statement to WCNC.
The terrifying ordeal comes just hours after four American Airlines flight attendants were injured on a flight from Tampa Bay to Charlotte, according to WBTV.
American Airlines Flight 2905 landed safely at Charlotte Douglas International after encountering unexpected turbulence, the airline told the outlet.
The four flight attendants were taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
No passengers were injured on the American Airlines flight, according to the report.
