The couple was flying from Washington, D.C. to New York when on the engines on their twin-engine helicopter, owned by the Trump Organiation, failed, forcing a quick landing. The couple ended up taking a commercial flight instead. Neither suffered any injuries.
Sources did not tell CNN why the couple took a helicopter instead of a plane in the first place.
