We landed at DCA tonight and a NW Airbus was off the highspeed in the mud. Anyone know what happened? They were pulling people off the back with stairs, so it appears no one was hurt except the pilots egos.
 
Oh, another NW Airbus got stuck around 5 p.m. I was on the DCA-MSP flight and watched the tug try to pull him out. The snow plows did an absolutely horrible job at DCA, so it's no surprise planes got stuck.

I flew ORD-DCA on UA Saturday night and listened to ATC on Channel 9 ... they were warning pilots about this.
