American artist Miley Cyrus posted a stunning photo on her Twitter account after a lightning strike on the plane carrying her to Asunción, Paraguay.
“Our plane was caught in a major unexpected storm and was struck by lightning,” the singer wrote to her millions of followers on her social network account, while confirming that the crew, her band, friends and family who were traveling alongside her “are safe after an emergency landing”.
The ship on which it was traveling to Asunción, the interpreter was struck by lightning and had to land as an emergency at the airport in Ciudad del Este, before leaving Paraguay for Brazil.
“Unfortunately we couldn't fly to Paraguay,” he added in a series of Twitter messages, including a video of the storm from the plane window, in addition to the aforementioned photograph.
Cyrus was one of the guest stars of 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 Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, which serves Asunción, confirmed to the EFE news agency that the artist's plane heading to this city used the Guaraní airport in Ciudad del Este as an alternative because of the “inclement weather”.
The ship, after being refueled, was digested towards Sao Paulo, in Brazil, the spokesman added.
For his part, Rodrigo Nogues, director of the firm G5Pro, organizer of Asunciónico 2022, told ABC that Cyrus is in Sao Paulo, after he “had a problem with the plane”.
The organizers of Asunciónico announced this Wednesday that day 2 of the festival was also canceled. They said that yesterday's rainfall and today's forecasts represent risky obstacles, according to local newspaper ABC.
For this Thursday, Asunciónico's schedule includes concerts by Cyrus, as well as Argentinian Nicki Nicole, Puerto Rican Jhay Cortez and the Uruguayan band La Vela Puerca. The authorities will wait if weather conditions improve over the course of the hours.
