Miley Cyrus’ plane going to Paraguay was hit by lightning

He had to make an emergency landing at the Ciudad del Este airport.
The aircraft in which the American artist Miley Cyrus was traveling to Asunción was struck by lightning and had to make an emergency landing at the Ciudad del Este airport, before leaving Paraguay for Brazil.

“Our plane was caught in a large unexpected storm and was struck by lightning,” the singer wrote this Wednesday to her millions of followers on her Twitter account.

The singer of hits like “Angels like you” confirmed that the crew, her band, friends and family traveling with her “are safe after an emergency landing.”

“Unfortunately we could not fly to Paraguay,” he added in a thread of trills, in which he included a video of the storm from the plane window and a photo of the impact it suffered.

Cyrus is one of the stars invited to the Asunciónico 2022 festival, which on Tuesday night had to cancel its first day due to the strong gale that hit the Paraguayan capital.

A source from the Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, which serves Asunción, confirmed to Efe that the artist’s plane heading to this city used the Guaraní airport, in Ciudad del Este, as an alternative, due to the “inclement weather.”

The ship, after resupplying, headed towards Sao Paulo, Brazil, added the spokesperson, who did not elaborate on details.

Rodrigo Nogues, director of the G5Pro firm, organizer of Asunciónico 2022, told ABC radio that Cyrus is in Sao Paulo, after “he had a problem with the plane.”

He did not immediately confirm whether the second day of this show is suspended.

For this Thursday, the Asunciónico program includes concerts by Cyrus, as well as the Argentine Nicki Nicole, the Puerto Rican Jhay Cortez and the Uruguayan band La Vela Puerca.
