"The @lufthansa flight you are seeing on the news today!!!! Yes … that one," she continued. "Thank God everyone was safe and ok."
Following the emergency landing, she thanked Marriott Bonvoy, "@officiallymcconaughey and I made it to the bar with 1 minute before closing … slept well, getting on new flight today. To the journey I continue … "
