Delta Airlines Flight 1086 is a scheduled domestic passenger flight between Atlanta and New York. On the 5th of March 2015, the flight, operated by a McDonnell Douglas MD-88, slid off the runway upon landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York. The nose of the plane crashed through a nearby fence before coming to a halt just a few feet short of the Flushing Bay. There were no fatalities caused by the accident. The cause of the crash is being investigated.

According to Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who received an update Sunday on the National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the skidding accident on Thursday, "there are four possible areas where something went wrong." Sen. Schumer said investigators are looking at whether the accident was caused by the pilot, who may have been going too fast; whether there was a malfunction to the airplane's thrust reversers, which may have caused the airplane to skid to one side; whether the braking rules at the airport were "inadequate;" or whether ice played a factor.^[1]
