Forbes is reporting that Jennifer Lawrence's survived her private jet performing an emergency landing after losing both its engines. Yikes!
JLaw's plane, which departed from her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, lost one of its engines at 31,000 feet. The pilot decided to make an emergency landing in Buffalo, New York, but then things got even scarier when the second engine shut down.

Check out the story of the Gimli Glider...a 757 that ran out of fuel and had to glide to an airport.
Nobody gets over Macho Grande.
She is currently the highest paid actress in Hollywood. Average looks and acting ability, but cleans up nice. Most importantly, she has rejected her hometown Kentucky values, and now embraces all things leftist.
Never fly with expensive engines over ghettos.
All I can say is she has one hell of a pilot. He either needs a raise or a huge bonus.
He’ll never get over Macho Grande.
Let me guess...Jennifer Lawrence is some super model who makes 20 times what the most experienced brain surgeons or heart surgeons make.Until she succumbed to the Hollywood Leftist Syndrome, Jennifer Lawrence was on her way to becoming the biggest movie star on the planet.
Now her career is threatening to take a free fall equal to the one her plane just experienced.
Sorry, I don't get the reference/joke?
That is really scary. Both engines? Holy-Moly!
Jennifer has earned bragging rights forevermore, to have survived such an incident and left unharmed.
Jennifer is a talented actress (tho potty mouthed and given to making crude jokes while guesting on talk shows). Jen has starred in many BIG moneymakers of the last ten years The Hunger Games series, The Hustlers, and Joy, to name just a few. She often plays an Angelina Jolie (Sara Croft) type character, but without the anorexia.
As noted, the Gimli Glider was a 767 that lost both engines over the Atlantic due to a miscalculation during fuel loading. They glided several hundred miles back to land, finally touching down at the decommissioned airfield at Gimli in Canada while the airstrip was being used by an amateur racing club. Fortuitously, the pilot of the airliner was a sailplane hobbyist, and so was uniquely suited to the emergency. Those big airliners have surprisingly good glide ratios.
Chuck Norris got over Macho Grande.
I suspect this was a very large plane, making a fairly frivolous trip, by Gaia saving greenie standards, so that type of info is simply left out.
The movie, Airplane.........
Actress, not model. And last year earnings approx. 50 times higher than above professions.
That's a very big whoops.
Another Canadian flight broke the gliding record of the Gimli Glider. Air Transat 236 ran out of gas on the way from Toronto to Portugal and had to land in the Azores.

We had acquaintances who lost their engine. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day. Their plane (no, I don’t remember exactly what type it was) had the ability to glide down, but they couldn’t see until they were so close to the ground, that they couldn’t adjust to miss the trees. Husband wife and dog, all gone. Happily, they missed the church nearby, where the children were all outside. Very tragic and traumatic for family and friends. Being able to glide is a good thing, except in bad weather, and then it doesn’t matter.
The pilot’s skill is the real story.
