Prayer asked for and answered before I got the request

This is breaking news; and, hopefully will turn out OK, but inspired by your show, I asking for your prayers. Thanks, Mark (not Snooper)

"MSNBC is reporting that the helicopter carrying the two Senators (Hagel & Kerry) made and emergency landing in Afghanistan. The network says no other news is available at this time."

Gosh, you are good, and quick! Mark (I didn't even get a chance to pray, except a prayer of Thanksgiving)

A helicopter carrying three senior U.S. senators has made an emergency landing in Afghanistan. CNN is reporting that no one on board was injured.

Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft., according to Jon Summers, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The lawmakers are on a trip this week that includes stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan.

"After several hours, the senators were evacuated by American troops and returned overland to Bagram Air Base, and left for their next scheduled stop in Ankara, Turkey," a statement from Kerry's office said. "Sen. Kerry thanks the American troops, who were terrific as always and who continue to do an incredible job in Afghanistan."

Hagel's office tells Action 3 News, a local Nebraska station the Senators were flying out of Afghanistan after a meeting with Afghan President Karzai. A snowstorm forced the pilot to land at Bagram Air Base near Kabul.

WASHINGTON — A helicopter carrying three senior U.S. senators made an emergency landing in Afghanistan because of a snowstorm, but the senators are OK, spokesmen for the senators said Thursday.

Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft, according to Jon Summers, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The lawmakers are on a trip this week that includes stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan.

Mike Buttry, a spokesman for Hagel, said that the landing appeared to be due to a minor equipment problem, and the three already were on their next leg of their trip, heading to Turkey.

After making the landing, the senators and their delegation returned to Bagram Air Base in a motor convoy.

"After several hours, the senators were evacuated by American troops and returned overland to Bagram Air Base, and left for their next scheduled stop in Ankara, Turkey," the Kerry statement said. "Sen. Kerry thanks the American troops, who were terrific as always and who continue to do an incredible job in Afghanistan."

Kerry and Biden are Democrats from Massachusetts and Delaware, respectively, and the Republican Hagel is from Nebraska.
