Leonardo DiCaprio's Flight Makes Emergency Landing.

DiCaprio, 36, was headed to Moscow from New York on Delta Flight 30 along with 200 other passengers when the plane's pilots reported seeing a bright flash come from one of the engines.

The plane then landed safely at JFK Airport, with no reported injuries. Ground crews are set to replace the failed engine before returning the craft to service.
