Plane carrying Donald Trump makes emergency landing due to engine trouble

A plane carrying Donald Trump back to his Florida home reportedly made an emergency landing in New Orleans Saturday night when one of its engines failed.

The Washington Post reports that the Dassault Falcon 900 flew about 75 miles after departing New Orleans Lakefront Airport and was over the Gulf of Mexico when the trouble occurred. Trump had recently finished speaking to Republican donors at a private event at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans.

The plane reached an altitude of nearly 30,000 feet when it was turned around and flown back to the Big Easy safely. Also aboard were Secret Service members and Trump staffers, the Washington Post reported.
