A TUI Boeing 737 jet carrying passengers skidded off the runway while landing at Leeds Bradford Airport amid Storm Babet's strong winds. The plane got stranded on the grass but there were no reported injuries. However, all flights at the airport were temporarily halted with some diverted. It comes as Storm Babet caused a third UK death - a man caught in floodwater in Shropshire. Earlier, a woman in Scotland and a second person in Angus were confirmed dead from the storm's impacts. Babet also led to dramatic flood rescues in Nottinghamshire. The airport incident occurred as the rare red weather alert storm continues wreaking havoc across Britain.
