Secretary of State Marco Rubio's plane diverted back to DC over mechanical issue
The secretary was on his way to the Munich Security Conference in Germany when the issue arose. He has since returned to Washington D.C. but is expected to continue his trip on a different plane.
Saw on another article that the plane dropped over 20,000 feet… looking at the altitudes given (went from 30k to 10k) my bet is that the cabin lost pressure. In an unpressurized aircraft you need supplemental oxygen to fly over 10k or you get hypoxia.
😬 How scary!
Almost...

Be careful out there! I'm glad the pilot or whoever was alert enough to realize there was an issue and get them back safely. I wonder if foul play is a possibility?
Poor guy is probably terrified to fly again!
"Poor guy is probably terrified to fly again!"
...in a world of "no coincidences"...
...I would be cautious also...
For real
