'Billowing' Smoke Fills Melania Trump's Plane: Report

ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, MD -- The First Lady is safe after her plane had to turn around when "billowing" smoke and a burning smell filled the cabin, according to a report.

People Magazine reports that the smoke and smell was detected shortly after takeoff from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, and the plane safely landed back at the base.

A reporter on the plane wrote in the pool report that a member of the flight crew passed out damp washcloths to the passengers. Another report indicated that a malfunctioning "comms unit" may have been the culprit, according to the report.

The plane was on its way to the National Convening on Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
