A Ron Paul Assassination Attempt?

Ah-hah, I'm just kidding. Hello crazy conspiracy theorists and welcome to Moneyries. All that happened in the flight earlier tonight was a loss of cabin pressure and an emergency landing in New Orleans. Ironically enough, the Congressmen were on their way to Washington D.C. to vote on an aviation safety bill.

Here's what that was like:

(U.S. Rep. Ted) Poe told 11 News the flight was about an hour late leaving Houston because of mechanical difficulties with an engine. He said things went downhill from there not long after taking off from Bush Intercontinental Airport. "Suddenly, we started to descend more rapidly than normal and the oxygen masks came out," Poe said. The pilots told everyone to fasten their seatbelts. "There wasn't any talk because a lot of people had their oxygen masks on," according to Poe. "Everyone seemed to be quite calm." The flight landed about 20 minutes after the scare began.
