Thank goodness she’s OK:
(CNN) – Ann Romney’s plane made an emergency landing in Colorado on Friday, a spokeswoman from Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign tweeted.
“All okay. Thank goodness,” the spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, wrote on Twitter.
The cabin of the plane apparently filled with smoke, according to a campaign aide. Romney’s plane was headed to California but landed in Denver, where it was met with emergency vehicles on the runway.
Ann Romney was near Omaha, Nebraska earlier Friday. Her press secretary, Sarah Haley, was also on the plane.
A Secret Service official confirmed the incident.
“We can confirm that a plane carrying Mrs. Romney and two Secret Service personnel did make an emergency landing about 4:25 ET. It was at the Denver airport,” the official said. “Basically what we understand there was some type of smoke in the cabin. All personnel were safe.”
The official could not say who else was on board.
