Singer Karol G Looks Relieved After Private Jet Makes Emergency Landing Due to Frightening Fire in Cockpit: Watch
Karol G is grateful to have her feet back on the ground following a mid-air emergency on her private plane.
The Grammy-winning artist's jet was forced to make an unexpected landing after crew members reported a fire in the cockpit during the flight.
In video footage obtained by ABC 7 Eyewitness News, the plane — which featured Karol G's signature outline of a black heart on its side — could be seen successfully landing on a runway at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles, Calif., on Thursday, February 29.
Once on the ground, Karol G and fellow passengers deplaned before hugging one another and seemingly letting out a sigh of relief.
According to the news outlet, the Columbian singer's flight departed from Hollywood Burbank Airport on Thursday night, however, it didn't make it past Cajon Pass — an area between the San Bernardino Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California — before the pilot needed to pivot after noticing smoke onboard.
The jet touched back down around 9 p.m. local time, with all 15 people on board safely exiting without any reported injuries.
The scary situation comes in the midst of Karol G's Mañana Será Bonito Tour. A graphic for the concert series was displayed on a mat laid out beneath the stairs of the plane upon landing.
Karol G most recently performed in Zapopan, Mexico, on Saturday, February 24, with her next shows scheduled for Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2, in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
