Plane Carrying U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Makes Emergency Landing

A plane carrying U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was diverted to Reagan Airport after its right engine failed during the flight.

Fourteen people were aboard, according to a post by Mullin cited by local outlet DMV Live News. The aircraft’s destination was not immediately known.

Thanks to the skills of the U.S. Coast Guard pilots, the landing of the single-engine plane looked like a normal one.

Mullin credited U.S. Coast Guard pilots with making the single-engine landing appear routine. “Thanks to the skills of the U.S. Coast Guard pilots, the landing of the single-engine plane looked like a normal one,” he wrote on X. “No panic, just pure professionalism. After landing, the pilots told me it was their first time! We could not have been in better hands.”
