Donald Trump's private jet made an emergency landing in Nashville Wednesday afternoon after the pilot reported engine problems, officials said.
The Boeing 757 landed in Nashville at 4:40 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Trump eventually made it to the event he was attending. It was unclear how he got there.
The FAA is investigating the incident.

You know you’re not supposed to drink the bong water, right?
that isn’t the point - the point is you Cruzbots and your nonfunny remarks about something that could have been serious. You are scum!
Great way to talk to your fellow FReepers. Take a breath!
There are ex cia, they just tend not to talk about it.
Btw, I have thick skin and don't mind the name calling so much...it is the hypocrisy that makes me laugh.
There are 2 former CIA people who work for the Cruz campaign. What’s up with that?
The other is Dan Gabriel. He’s the one who tweeted that the information about Carson dropping out had been verified.
I read or heard something to day about him being investigated- something to do with him being a counter-insurgency specialist & some laws that may be being violated because of what he’s doing now.
Creepy guy. He looks creepy.
Cruz is creeping me out more & more.
The entire jniparty is gunning for him. Our uniparty leader guys would vote for hillary before him.
Those Rolls Royce engines are the best.
Me too. Trump or Cruz or lose!!!!
Thank God they landed safely!
The pilot probably said we are cruising at 30,000 feet and Trump said land this plane now!
J/k
Perspective is everything
In 1993, I was on ATA flight 711 to Las Vegas aboard an L10-11 (3 engines). We apparently lost (or they shut down) an engine at some point during take off or climb out. After 20 minutes of flying in circles and not being able to get our of our seat, the pilot announced that "we" were having some mechanical problems and would need to return to IND. It was then I noticed the engine outside my window was "feathered" (not running). AND I still had to pee. When we landed they had us all get off the plane. We stood there watching the plane as a couple mechanics on a lift opened an engine compartment and dropped something out along with several gallons of fluid.
I laughed, went to the restroom, then to the bar. A few of us boarded that same plane 3 hours later and flew to Las Vegas. It was a fun flight as they did not charge for libations.
I have no idea if they ever declared an emergency. But today, it's funny.
Your homepage is about ignoramuses-es? Well, alrighty then.
You curse like an amateur, like a midget who's tampon fuse has been slowly sizzling.
Nuh-uh. It was a Carson staffer comment that caused the whole thing.
I'm on the right thread (just trying to make a joke).
Ok, that one failed. Didn't get off the ground. No emergency landing in Nashville for that one. dang it.
Some guys have all the luck.
This thread needs more cowbell
Right.
With FRiends like you...
WTH?
Am I crazy or are you?
There was so much hot air inside the plane that they thought there was a fire.
