Thursday morning, a Southwest Airlines jet bound for Tampa, Fla., veered off a taxiway and got stuck in mud at an airport on New York's Long Island MacArthur Airport.
Flight 4695 was to leave Ronkonkoma at 6:15 a.m. ET.
There were no injuries to the 129 passengers and five crew members.
Southwest issued a statement on their blog and said all passengers were deplaned and bussed back to the terminal where they were put on a replacement aircraft. The replacement flight departed Long Island at 11:55 a.m. ET.
Maintenance crews will remove the original aircraft and inspect it for damage.
The area received heavy rain overnight.
