Problem aboard First Lady's plane, returning to @Andrews_JBA. Press pool aboard reports "thin haze of smoke" was visible and the smell of something burning. Passengers given wet towels to breathe through. Told a "mechanical issue" was detected.

First Lady Melania Trump arrives at @Andrews_JBA to board USAF plane en route Philadelphia to address @TJUHospital conference on neonatal abstinence syndrome, which affects infants withdrawing from mother's use of narcotics. No turn and wave before boarding aircraft.
He seemed miffed she didn't wave to him as she boarded.

The smell of the devil.  Or her 'kidneys' got too close to a flame.

Reporters traveling with Mrs. Trump are told today's trip is being "re-evaluated."

First Lady's aircraft safely on the ground back at Andrews. No rush to get off the plane after smoke and burning smell detected. Problem developed about 10 minutes after take-off en route Philadelphia for @FLOTUS hospital remarks. Press and officials calmly led off the tarmac.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Cabin air is bleed air from the engines...sounds like an oil seal is allowing oil fumes to bypass and getting into environmental control system.

Sabotage would require that a U.S. servicemember is responsible. 

Only USAF personnel who have undergone some of the most extensive background checks are selected to maintain the fleet.

I thnk we are all suspicious of even the most innocuous circumstance these days, thanks to international terrorism.  Whacko consiracy theory websites make it worse.
