  "account": "A Coast Guard jet carrying Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and other top officials experienced an emergency landing outside Washington, D.C. on Wednesday due to a failed engine. The C-37A, a military version of a Gulfstream V jet, made an emergency landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after the pilot reported losing one of its engines. The plane was carrying 14 people and had 2.5 hours worth of fuel remaining. Mullin praised the professionalism of the Coast Guard pilots, stating that the emergency landing felt routine. The airport confirmed the plane landed safely, and it was subsequently inspected by fire rescue personnel. DHS has expressed concerns about the aging aircraft, with the Coast Guard plane being 22 years old and facing significant avionics and communications issues. In FY2025 spending plans, DHS requested approximately $50 million for replacing the aging Coast Guard executive jet, a request that drew scrutiny from lawmakers.",
