DiCaprio Among Passengers On Engine-Failed Delta Flight
"Titanic" star Leonardo DiCaprio was apparently among the passengers on board a Delta Airlines flight forced to make an emergency landing at New York's JFK Airport Sunday. Usmagazine.com quotes a rep for the 36-year-old actor who said DiCaprio, quote, "wishes to commend the actions of the pilot and flight crew in bringing the plane to a safe landing." The Moscow-bound flight returned safely to JFK after one of its engines shut down unexpectedly. DiCaprio was heading to St. Petersburg for the four-day Tiger Summit, headed by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, to discuss ways to save endangered tigers. A source tells "Us" that the "Inception" star signed autographs for all the crew members when they landed.
