(CNN)— A plane carrying Texas Rep. Ron Paul and six other members of Congress was forced to make an emergency landing Tuesday due to mechanical issues.
According to the Federal Avaiation Administration (FAA), Continental Airlines flight 458, a Boeing 737 en route to Washington, DC from Houston made a rapid decent in New Orleans when the pilot reported pressurization problems.
Reps. Ted Poe, Nick Lampson, and Henry Cuellar, Solomon P. Ortiz, John Carter, and Ciro Rodriguez were among those aboard the flight. The FAA says the plane had a safe landing in New Orleans with no injuries.
Update: Trevor Kincaid, a spokesman for Rep. Nick Lampson, tells CNN the congressmen are being rebooked on two different flights from New Orleans to Washington, D.C.
Kincaid said Lampson told him, "there was a minor technical failure with the pressure" and there was "a slow gradual descent, no nosedive." Lampson told him in a phone conversation that, "some people didn't realize there was a problem until the gas masks came down." Lampson said there was no panic on the plane and praised Continental Airlines for their handling of the situation.
Thank God they are all ok.
What do you think Ron? Chubby Checker, works for CNN...
Glad to hear all are safe too. Something happended to Obama's plane too! Forget about the centralized commie/fascie federal government, run for Governor of Texas and make it a sanctuary for Americans!! Do it Ron Paul, we'll help! Then after we start the shangrila, others will follow suit and recoup America for the Americans!! God bless all of us.

Ron Paul 2008! That's the real hero of this election campaign, not McCain and Obama. If only Ron Paul had fair media coverage and equal time at the debates!
I will VOTE for RON PAUL anyway.
We, the people, are being lied to on a DAILY BASIS.
GOD BLESS RON PAUL.
Why is it that hardly ever, if at all, are there any planes with neo-cons that have to land for an emergency, or crash land? It seems the GOP is "protected" pretty well. It makes you wonder why the engine failure, or other problems, with all the Dems' who've been killed in plane crashes (Paul Wellstone, JFK Jr., Mickey Leland, etc)... and no GOP that I can recall have ever been in any type of plane incident, much less injured or killed.... Very odd coincidence. Ron Paul is a Republican, but he's running against McCain... Interesting. What else besides choosing a VP has Mr. McSame's camp been organizing?
This must be McPain's piece of work. 🙂
Ron is definitely better than McCain
OBAMA (2008 -16)
