Delta Airlines carrying 200 passengers along with Leonardo DiCaprio, made an emergency landing at John F Kennedy Airport in New York after the plane engine blew up.

The pilots reported the left engine of Delta stopped working immediately after the plane took off.

The passengers of the plane were afraid when the lights in the cabin went dark and for a strain hour Delta circled the city. The plane was carrying 60,000 pounds of fuel at that time. The pilots had managed to make a safe landing.

Leonardo who was one of the passengers of the plane said “after landing I signed autographs to lighten the mood of passengers.” He commended the pilots and crew in bringing safe landing.

The actor was flying to St. Petersburg, Russia to attend the Tiger Summit in order to prevent the extinction of the animals.
