The 17 year cicada brood forced President Biden’s plane that was transporting his journalists to immediately ground. The cicadas had filled the plane’s engines making it impossible for them to fly! President Biden’s aides had to hurry and find another plane for the journalists to use to follow Biden overseas to Europe. The brood is at its peak with millions to possibly even billions of cicadas. While they did find another plane and pilot to transport everyone, they did have to travel through huge clouds of cicadas when leaving Washington. These swarms of cicadas were so large that they were even picked up on weather radar! Good news is everyone made it to their destination safely and this cicada brood won’t be around for another 17 years.
