A plane carrying Pete Hegseth was compelled to make an emergency landing in the United Kingdom on Wednesday after a crack was found in the jet's front window, per an official statement which stated that all passengers were secure.
"The jet touched down following standard procedures and all individuals on the flight, including Defense Secretary Hegseth, is safe," an official representative stated in a public statement.
Hegseth was returning from a short visit to Brussels when the incident occurred.
This event isn't the first time that a United States armed forces jet carrying a senior official has experienced technical problems.
Earlier this year, a US Air Force plane ferrying Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the city in Germany was compelled to turn back to Washington DC after experiencing a technical issue.
