Flying remains one of the safest modes of transportation when compared to automobiles, trains, boats, etc., but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come without its own risks. Diplo learned that firsthand this past weekend on a trip to Columbus and Minneapolis when his jet was forced to make an emergency landing after the windshield cracked.
“Dear Colombus [sic] and Minneapolis, my jet window just cracked open and the pilots are wearing masks so not sure ill make my shows tonight,” he captioned an Instagram post, “but they left the wifi on so I’m just going to sit in the back and smoke toad venom and Vlog. I just bought this cool vest in Dallas at a thrift store ….. Also i never told you this but I might by gay…”
In an update, Diplo shared that they successfully landed in Columbus: “Update we landed and no one died I still might be gay but I’m definitely not going to tye die anymore jets..”
The cause of the cracked windshield hasn’t been made public. Diplo wrote in a comment that they didn’t hit a bird, but rather a “bird scooter”… we think he’s joking. He eventually made it to his shows, and performed a set with Major Lazer yesterday at HARD Summer in California.
