WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THEM COME OFF THE FLIGHT, DEPLANE WITH THEIR LUGGAGE IN TOW AND BOARD BUSSES AND THOSE BUSSES ARE TAXIING, GOING BACK TO THE GATE, THE TERMINAL WHICH WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO END UP TO BEGIN WITH. SO THAT鈥橲 WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. THAT鈥橲 WHAT WE鈥橰E WORKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW THIS ALL UNFOLDED THIS AFTERNOON. WHY THAT PLANE KIND OF VEERED OFF INTO THAT GRASSY AREA. IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE BUSSES ARE ARE THE ONES WITH THE PASSENGERS, AND THEY鈥橰E TAKING THEM BACK TO THE GATE TO GET THEM WHERE THEY NEED TO GO, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS.

AND WHAT WE鈥橵E LEARNED, IT DOES SHORT REGIONAL FLIGHTS ALL THE WAY TO INTERCONTINENTAL ROUTES. A PLANE THAT鈥橲 DESIGNED IN CANADA, BUILT BOTH IN CANADA AND HERE IN THE U.S., AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YESTERDAY AND TODAY WITH THIS PLANE HAS BEEN WE KNOW YESTERDAY IT STARTED IN PITTSBURGH, WENT TO NEW YORK, THEN FROM NEW YORK TO BOSTON, FROM BOSTON TO MILWAUKEE, THEN MILWAUKEE, BACK TO BOSTON AND STAYED OVERNIGHT HERE IN BOSTON.

No one was injured after a JetBlue plane skidded off a runway and into the grass at Boston's Logan Airport Thursday morning, Massachusetts State Police confirmed.The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a ground stop that was previously issued on all flights departing and arriving at Logan Airport. The runway, 33-L, has been closed as officials inspect the plane. All flight passengers have been bussed to the nearest terminal, a Massport spokesperson said.Sky5 video showed skid marks on the runway into the grass where the plane eventually came to a stop.The plane, JetBlue flight 312, which left Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 8:41 a.m. Thursday was in the process of landing at Logan when the plane skidded off the runway.JetBlue released a statement regarding the incident:"On Thursday, June 12, JetBlue flight 312 from Chicago to Boston veered off the runway and onto the grass after landing. No injuries were reported," the airline's statement read. "Customers safely deplaned and were bussed to the terminal. Safety is JetBlue鈥檚 top priority. We will conduct a full investigation of the incident and will work closely with the relevant authorities to understand the cause."Aviation expert and former Massport CEO Tom Kinton said the brakes of the plane may have locked up during landing."It appears the brakes locked up on the pilot, probably the left main gear. Which is why she didn't have any steering," Kinton said. "It appears it went in at a low speed, the grass doesn't seem to be torn up, indicating that it was a very controlled speed that went in there, but clearly lost steering for some reason."A passenger who says she was on the plane when it slid into the grass said she knew something was amiss when the aircraft sharply turned."I think it was the hard left. At first, it seemed like a windy day, a hard landing," she said. "That's when you can tell when things were off, seeing the grass on either side. My heart dropped a little bit, kind of a rollercoaster feeling.The passenger said the pilot made no announcements at the time of the landing, only after the plane came to a complete stop and everyone was OK."They said that they had lost control of the steering on landing," she said.Another passenger recalled the landing being rocky."It was kind of a turbulent landing, typical of if you were flying in a rainstorm."Several passengers said they were grateful for the flight captain's quick thinking."It's a curveball, definitely a little shaken up.

The plane, JetBlue flight 312, which left Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 8:41 a.m. Thursday was in the process of landing at Logan when the plane skidded off the runway.

JetBlue released a statement regarding the incident:

"On Thursday, June 12, JetBlue flight 312 from Chicago to Boston veered off the runway and onto the grass after landing. No injuries were reported," the airline's statement read. "Customers safely deplaned and were bussed to the terminal. Safety is JetBlue鈥檚 top priority.

"It appears it went in at a low speed, the grass doesn't seem to be torn up, indicating that it was a very controlled speed that went in there, but clearly lost steering for some reason."

A passenger who says she was on the plane when it slid into the grass said she knew something was amiss when the aircraft sharply turned.

"I think it was the hard left. At first, it seemed like a windy day, a hard landing," she said. "That's when you can tell when things were off, seeing the grass on either side. My heart dropped a little bit, kind of a rollercoaster feeling.

"They said that they had lost control of the steering on landing," she said.

Another passenger recalled the landing being rocky.

"It was kind of a turbulent landing, typical of if you were flying in a rainstorm."
