A plane carrying Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, made an unscheduled landing in the United Kingdom after a crack developed in the aircraft's windshield. The landing followed standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Hegseth, is safe. The flight was returning from a brief trip to Brussels when the issue occurred. The unscheduled landing was prompted by the windshield crack and resulted in a diversion to the UK.
