Plane Carrying First Lady Obama Forced To Abort Landing After Air Traffic Controller Error
CNN is reporting that an aircraft carrying First Lady Michelle Obama was forced to abort a landing on Monday after an air traffic controller made an error that put the First Lady’s plane in danger.
According to the Washington Post:
A White House plane carrying Michelle Obama came dangerously close to a 200-ton military cargo jet and had to abort its landing at Andrews Air Force Base on Monday as the result of an air traffic controller’s mistake, according to federal officials familiar with the incident.
Ultimately controllers at Andrews feared the cargo jet would not clear the runway in time, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for their agencies.
FAA officials confirmed that the first lady was aboard the plane, but had no additional comment immediately. They expected to release a statement later Tuesday. The first lady’s office also had no immediate comment.
