White House Press Plane Grounded… By Cicadas
Journalists due to accompany Joe Biden on his first overseas trip as president were delayed on their outbound flight to England on Tuesday night — because of cicadas.
A swarm of the noisy flying insects ― part of the billions-strong Brood X which appears across the United States every 17 years ― filled the engines of the White House press plane as it was on the runway at Dulles International Airport, reported The New York Times.
The pilots were forced to turn the aircraft back to the departure gate.
