DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: A major snowstorm hitting the Midwest today and it is causing travel problems and other hassles in Chicago. For an update of what has happened at O'Hare International Airport earlier this morning, we are joined on the phone by Monique Bond. She is a spokeswoman for O'Hare International Airport. Ms. Bond, good morning.</s>MONIQUE BOND, O'HARE AIRPORT SPOKESWOMAN: Good morning.</s>KAGAN: I understand you had a problem with a 727 actually skidding off of a runway?</s>BOND: We actually did, and we don't know in fact if it skid or if it just made a wrong turn as it was landing, but the good news is that the aircraft did, for all intents and purposes, under these conditions, land without incident, passengers are safe, they deplaned the aircraft, and they are at the gate right now.</s>KAGAN: That is definitely good news, but of course all this weather does mean that you do have travel challenges this morning. What is the status of your airport right now?</s>BOND: Right now, we are dealing with accumulation of snow and low visibility. The visibility is the main challenge for us at the airports. The snow is accumulating, and then the wind is blowing that snow, creating the visibility to deteriorate. And so the airlines have canceled a significant number of flights. They have been very proactive in doing that yesterday. So we don't have a lot of travelers that are here looking to try to get out or come in. But for those travelers that are headed into Chicago, they do want to call ahead and get the most updated information about their travel plans.</s>KAGAN: And be patient, I would imagine would be advice as well.</s>BOND: Be patient and just remember that safety is number one.</s>KAGAN: Absolutely, Monique Bond, from O'Hare International Airport, thank you for that update,
