Plane carrying rapper Post Malone makes emergency landing

ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y. – A private plane reportedly carrying rapper Post Malone landed safely after being diverted to an airport in New York for an emergency landing after it blew two tires upon takeoff.

TMZ was first to report Post Malone was on board the Gulfstream Aerospace GLF-4 that was scheduled to fly to London.

The plane landed at New York Stewart International Airport in Newburgh, about 70 miles north of New York City. Emergency responders were ready by the runway.

The jet was headed to London Luton Airport in Luton, England, from Teterboro Airport when the pilot realized after takeoff early Tuesday that the tires had blown. He circled the airport for about 30 minutes before the jet was diverted.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the plane had 16 people on board.

The jet originally had been diverted to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Massachusetts. It landed instead at Stewart, which has a nearly 12,000-foot runway.
