Plane Carrying President's Chief Of Staff Makes Emergency Landing

It isn't easy to be Andrew Card. As if President Bush's Chief of Staff doesn't have enough to worry about -- with falling numbers in the polls, an ongoing federal investigation and the day-to-day running of the White House -- Card got quite a scare over the weekend as he was traveling from the Bush ranch in Crawford, TX back to Washington.

The Gulfstream IV (file photo of type, right) Card was a passenger on was near Nashville, when the cockpit suddenly began to fill with smoke. The crew opted to make an emergency landing at Nashville International Airport Saturday afternoon.

"The pilots determined that to be safe rather than sorry they needed to make an emergency-style landing," said White House spokesman Ken Lisaius.

None of the 13 people on board was hurt, and Card and his staff were able to catch another flight to Washington. Preliminary indications are the Gulfstream suffered from an as-yet-unspecified avionics problem.
