On its way back to Washington, an US Air Force Boeing C-32 has declared an emergency.​

A flight, with callsign SAM153, carrying U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been forced to declare an emergency after a depressurization issue mid-flight, according to reports from multiple sources.

The Boeing C-32A, a military version of the Boeing 757, was en route from Brussels, Belgium, where Hegseth had been attending NATO meetings when the crew declared an emergency while starting to cross Atlantic.

The aircraft, which serves as a transport for senior U.S. military and government officials, was about 30 minutes into its flight when the depressurization issue was detected. The Boeing aircraft descended to 10,000 feet.

Well that is not good. Hopefully everyone is fine and repairs can be made quickly.

Heads are gonna roll if the plane was overweight.

Who was ******* around with the pressure relief lever?

Landed safely.

A windshield crack caused the depressurization.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced on social media that on the way back to the U.S. from NATO’s Defense Ministers meeting, Hegseth’s "plane made an unscheduled landing in the United Kingdom due to a crack in the aircraft windshield."

The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Hegseth, was safe, according to Parnell.​

They will have to call the insurance company and file a claim.

I doubt it was overweight. Trump was not on it.

They're heated and cracking isn't uncommon. Gets the pilot or copilots attention when it happens.

Well, that is certainly odd and very rare for a 757.

I have not heard of this. If Boeing has a MTBF schedule for their windshields, it was not adhered to.

The windshield probably cracked, and they descended to an altitude where pressurization was not required. Cracks cause blowouts, not depressurization.

FAA issued an AD in 2012. Something like 6000 to 12000 flight hours or 2-4 yrs.
It could have been a small crack too....still they have a procedure.

A blowout creates a loss of pressurization.

No shit Sherlock. It did not blow out!

This is what happens when you allow them trannies in the military. That is why Secretary of Homo-eroticism is getting rid of em.

Do you not speak English? The window had a crack. No depressurization occurred. They simply lowered the altitude. Staying at a higher altitude could cause the window to blow out because the cabin is pressurized. A simple crack will not cause depressurization unless the window blows out.

Is that clear as mud, now?
