A plane carrying Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin makes an emergency landing after an engine failure on Wednesday. According to reports, the pilot informs air traffic controllers in the Washington area that 14 people are on board, and Mullin says the single-engine landing goes smoothly.
The outlets describe the aircraft as being flown by Coast Guard pilots and identify the number of passengers as 14. One report places the landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, while the others focus more on the communications with air traffic control and the outcome of the landing. Across the coverage, the emphasis stays on the engine problem, the notification to controllers, and the absence of reported complications during the landing.
