John\u2019s \u00a0Bombardier BD-700 Global Express twin-engine jet, which can carry 19 passengers, had left Farnborough Airport headed for New York, where he was to perform at Madison Square Garden, and was 10,000 feet in the air near Ireland when pilots decided they had to make a U-turn due to hydraulic failure.<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse, winds back at Farnborough had reached 80 miles per hour, forcing the first two attempts at landing to be aborted. \u201cFirefighters from six stations raced to the scene and the runway was cleared,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/tvandshowbiz\/17737318\/elton-john-emergency-landing-private-jet\/\">The Sun<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n<p>A witness at the airport told The Sun:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The terrible weather and epic gusts made it almost impossible to land. Two attempts to touch down failed. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The plane was being buffeted and couldn\u2019t make it. The aircraft\u2019s nose was far too vertical. The plane was descending and was halfway along the runway when it gave up trying to hit the tarmac. It soared back in the air. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A crowd had gathered after word went around that Elton was in difficulty.\u00a0<\/em><em>And as the plane came around again for a second attempt to land, the storm was doing its worst. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The airport\u2019s windsock was horizontal and the aircraft was being rocked from side to side by the wind. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The pilot made a valiant attempt to get down with the jet \u201ccrabbing\u201d into the storm. But it didn\u2019t make it and had to head back upwards. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was only at the third attempt to land that the plane got down. The pilot made a flatter approach and the wind had dropped slightly. Everyone watching was mightily relieved.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service commented, \u201cFirefighters from Rushmoor, Hartley Wintney, Basingstoke, Fleet, Yateley and Surrey FRS were called at 11.16 on Monday morning to an incident at Farnborough Airport. No action was taken by HIWFRS with the incident dealt with by the airport fire service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John caught a later flight and still performed in New York on Tuesday night. Tuesday afternoon he reassured his fans, \u201cHello New York! See you at The Garden tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hello New York!

But he put aside any personal anguish to get back on a plane.
