After two forecasted blizzards that didn’t hit Chicago, it actually started snowing! Perhaps relatedly, two airplanes slid off two separate runways at O’Hare International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, just 21 minutes apart, according to ABC7.
Chicago fire officials told ABC7 that no one was injured.
The first plane, operated by American Airlines—which was departing for Newark—needed to be towed to the terminal after sliding on its taxiway.
The second plane, operated by private airline NetJets, slid off the end of its runway upon landing. (The runway was still closed as of 1 p.m., according to WGN.)
The first plane had 64 passengers; the second one had two.
