My second emergency landing in 8 days

Can you believe I had my second emergency landing in 8 days. How crazy is that? Listen to this crazy day: I left my hotel in Rio at 4pm yesterday. I was delayed 1.5 hours in the Rio airport due to weather in Sao Paulo. Flew to Sao Paulo to catch my flight to Miami. I then took the Tri-Rail to Fort Lauderdale Airport for a 2 pm departure to L.A. Took off on time and ten minutes later the captain made an announcement saying “we just ingested something and it’s messing up our instruments so we are going to need to divert to Miami!” What are the odds? I'm now staying in Florida for 2 nights
