The plane, en route to Santa Monica Airport, instead touched down at Van Nuys Airport after the pilot reported the smoke coming from the instruments.
Schwarzenegger, who has been TwitPic-ing many of his trips around the state, posted an image of the plane on the runway after the landing, along with the Tweet: "A little adventure just now when my plane made an emergency landing. All's ok, though."
Emerging Ecosystem
Twitpic is one of many add-on tools that's blossoming thanks to Twitter's open eco-system: Compete.com reports over 3.5 million unique visitors to the site last month. The simple photo-sharing site was also the venue for the first image from the Hudson plane crash: a landmark moment for Twitter's role in the newsmaking process.
