Delta 5501 N272PQ landing at 9:08pm on Jan 21, ran off runway due to surface conditions on runway. RDU closed until further notice while all runways are plowed and treated. There were no injuries to the 19 passengers coming in from Washington DC, passengers bused to terminal, plane awaiting for tow.

Update, as of 11am the morning after, the jet is still stuck in the mud and the runway remains closed.

I just saw this. Does RDU even have any plows?

There’s something on the aircraft that’s supposed to keep this from happening.

Its called “The Pilot”

I looked at weather for the day that happened. It was 28 Degrees, but it didn't rain that day. The previous day was 45 w/ rain. But the rain would have disappeared at that temp.
