Engine failure forces Ivanka, Jared's helicopter to return to airport

(CNN) - A helicopter carrying Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner had to return to an airport in Washington on Thursday after one of its engines failed, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

President Trump's daughter and son-in-law were flying from Washington to New York on Thursday afternoon in a two-engine helicopter when one engine failed, causing the chopper to return to Washington.

The helicopter safely made it back to Ronald Reagan National Airport and the couple scrambled to get on a commercial flight instead.

The sources could not say why the couple were flying to New York via a helicopter instead of a plane.

.... from China and Bangladesh suffered catastrophic failure almost causing a crash.

A race to the bottom - almost became a crash site - too bad DJT Sr. was not on board.
