马里兰州安德鲁斯联合基地——一个涉及“没有直接安全问题”的技术问题迫使副总统卡玛拉•哈里斯的飞机返回马里兰州安德鲁斯联合基地,大约30分钟后,她离开周日前往危地马拉和墨西哥。
空军二号安全着陆,她下车时竖起大拇指。
“我很好,我很好。我们都做了一点祈祷,但我们很好,”她说。
副总统大约一个半小时后乘另一架飞机离开。
她的发言人西蒙·桑德斯(Symone Sanders)告诉与哈里斯一起旅行的记者,起飞后不久,原机机组人员注意到起落架没有按预期储存,这可能会导致进一步的机械问题。
“虽然没有直接的安全问题,但出于谨慎,他们回到了JBA,那里有解决问题所需的所有零件和机械装置,”她说。
VP Harris' plane forced to return due to technical problem
JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- A technical problem that involved “no immediate safety issue" forced Vice President Kamala Harris' plane to return to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland about 30 minutes after she had left Sunday on a trip to Guatemala andMexico.
Air Force Two landed safely and she gave a thumbs-up when she got off.
“I’m good, I’m good. We all said a little prayer, but we’re good,” she said.
The vice president departed in another plane about an hour and a half later.
Her spokesperson, Symone Sanders, told reporters traveling with Harris that shortly after takeoff the crew of the original aircraft noticed that the landing gear was not storing as it should, which could have led to further mechanical issues.
“While there as no immediate safety issue, out of an abundance of caution they returned to JBA where they have all the parts and mechanics they need to fix the issue,” she said.
