A U.S. Department of Homeland Security official, Markwayne Mullin, was aboard a private jet that suffered an engine failure en route to a conference in Washington, forcing an emergency landing at a nearby airport. The aircraft, a Gulfstream, was diverted after the pilot detected a loss of power, and all passengers were safely evacuated without injury. Mullin, who was traveling to speak on homeland security policies, was unharmed and the incident prompted a brief pause in the flight’s schedule. Authorities are investigating the cause of the engine malfunction while the jet undergoes inspection.
