ATA Flight 647, a twin-engine Boeing 757 jetliner inbound to Chicago from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., was landing on Runway 31C at 1:41 p.m. when it ran off the end of the runway, said FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory. Emergency crews of the Chicago Fire Department responded. The aircraft sustained minor damage, but no one aboard appeared to have been hurt, Cory said. The plane had 107 passengers and seven crew members aboard, said Monique Bond, spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Aviation. The plane remained at the end of the runway, at the northwest corner of the airport, as a portable staircase was wheeled up to it. Passengers were taken off the aircraft and bused to the terminal. Runway 31C runs diagonally across the Southwest Side airfield from the southeast to the northwest.
