(CNN)—The pilot for Donald Trump's private jet was forced to divert to Nashville international airport Wednesday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the presidential candidate's Boeing 757 had to make the emergency landing after reporting engine problems.

Trump was en route to Little Rock, Arkansas for a campaign event when his plane was diverted. The 757 landed safely at Nashville International airport. Trump eventually made it to the Arkansas campaign event, albeit nearly two hours late.

Maybe you all think your cute with your snide little comments.

Fact is, the man has numerous death threats made DIRECTLY against him. Read post number 202 on the link provided here for the proir tread on this news-maybe an assumation or not, I dont know. Maybe you all would be pleased to see the man threatened this way, but tell you what, NOBODY should take happennings like this with humor.
Another fact, the Secrete Service are going absolutely NUTS around him because of these treats.
NOBODY should make humor out of ANY candidate who gets threats like this, or has a engine go out in a jet that size. That plane had to make an emergency landing you idiots! And you think that is funny?

What a bunch of EFFN a holes.

Wikipedia info about the Boeing 757, the model plane that Donald Trump owns. His particular model is equipped with Rolls Royce engines.

Thanks for not saying ‘duplicate thread’ was posted earlier. Get some idiots that do that.
I missed that one and I like to read comments.

“Maybe you all think your cute with your snide little comments.”

I posted an article from another source not posted before about the extraordinary emergency landing of his Boeing 757 private jet. It is noteworthy due to the posting previously of the video documentary about his aircraft, its customization, and the extraordinary lengths he has gone to to maintain the aircraft in as close to perfect condition as possible. For this aircraft to suffer a mechanical failure serious enough to require an emergency landing is extraordinary and newsworthy. Finding the cause will also be of more than usual interest due to his election campaign.

Note, I made no “snide” remarks, and I made no remarks at all, none, zero. So, your insulting tirade addressed to me is inexcusably rude and unacceptable.

“Fact is, the man has numerous death threats made DIRECTLY against him. Read post number 202 on the link provided here for the proir tread on this news-maybe an assumation or not, I dont know. Maybe you all would be pleased to see the man threatened this way, but tell you what, NOBODY should take happennings like this with humor.

If you are going to throw around accusations like that, you had better at least address them to the right person.

“What a bunch of EFFN a holes.”

That remark is a profanity and has no business being posted on FR.

I posted a documentary about his B757 the other night ago. He also has a Cessna business jet and three Sikorsky helicopters, according to an article dated in September 2015. It is rather strange for his customized Boeing 757 to experience an engine malfunction serous enough to require an emergency landing like this.
