MORGAN FREEMAN SAFE AFTER PLANE MALFUNCTION

It has been confirmed that a plane carrying Morgan Freeman made an emergency landing in Mississippi after experiencing troubles during takeoff.

Freeman stated he is safe after abruptly landing in Tunica, Mississppi.

"I was on my plane on the way to Texas to shoot a segment for The Story of God," said Freeman in a statement. "Sometimes things don't go as planned and a tire blew on take-off which caused other problems. But thanks to my excellent pilot Jimmy Hobson we landed safely without a scratch."

Freeman added, "I cannot say the same about my plane. I appreciate the concern and prayers for our safety."
