Bill Clinton's plane makes emergency landing in Tanzania
CBS News ^ | April 29, 2015 | REBECCA KAPLAN

A plane carrying former President Bill Clinton had to make an emergency landing in Tanzania Wednesday after one of the four engines on his plane stopped working, CBS News has learned.

Everyone on board the plane is safe.

Clinton was traveling in the East African nation to visit projects that have been funded by his family's foundation. The plane made an emergency landing at the Dodoma fueling station, where the engine had to be fixed.

The plane was a Canadian turboprop Dash 7, traveling from Iranga, a city in the center of Tanzania, to Lake Manyara, which is in the north.

Clinton is touring projects intended to boost agriculture, health, education and wildlife conservation. He and his daughter Chelsea are also scheduled to visit Kenya, Liberia and Morocco.

Strictly a publicity stunt. The timing is perfect: “Clinton faces dabger while on a charitable mission.” Puhleezz...

Fourth engine was made by socialists. Found no need to work while others could just as easily carry the load.

I was thinking exactly the same thing....”See, our foundation really is a charity! Look what we do! We aren’t laundering money to give ourselves a slush fund.”

Hard to believe ANYTHING in regards to these people without firm proof.

Kind of like the town ‘leader’ died and thousands (most of whom he had screwed - one way or the other - over the years) of mourners showed up for the wake.

Upon being questioned, the general reason for the turnout was that everyone wanted to make sure it was him in that coffin. Even then some showed a reluctance to believe he was actually dead.

OR

the plane load of politicians that ran into a side of a mountain ...
the Sheriff finally got to the site and an old farmer was there and it seems he had buried the victims, the Sheriff was a little taken back and said he found it hard to believe the farmer buried them and also was surprised they ALL died....

“Well” said the farmer, “Lots dead, some complained while I was burying them, but you know how those SOB’s lie”.
