The Delta Flight 30 that had to make an emergency landing return to JFK Airport Sunday night had none other than actor Leonardo DiCaprio on board. The airplane's left engine caught on fire and the nine-hour flight to Russia was delayed.
After a terrifying 90 minutes of the plane hovering over JFK, it finally landed with 160 firefighters standing by for precaution.
DiCaprio's reps state that, "En route to attend the Tiger Summit in St. Petersburg, Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the passengers aboard Delta Flight 30. He wishes to commend the actions of the pilot and flight crew in bringing the plane to a safe landing."
As one of the best high profile actors in the industry, the 36-year-old even signed autographs for the flight crew afterward.
