NYCAviation's twitter account has pictures up (@NYCAviation).

CNN has also broke in with coverage, though they're (IMO) prematurely speculating on a main gear collapse, based solely on the same shots we've seen here. To my eye, it just looks like the A/C is sunk in...

Hope everyone is OK

 

[700UW]

Everyone is ok, a few minor injuries, 130 people on board MD80 ATL-LGA.
 
CNN has video of passengers evacuating.

You can see the main gear in the pics, I think the nose gear is probably gone.

CNN is saying that LGA is closed to all traffic until 7 pm.

The nose broke thru a fence - hope the pilots are ok. CNN is saying just some minor injuries.

 

[700UW]

Wing damage and fuel is and has been leaking.
