Browns plane almost crashes?

[miktoxic]

if they had crashed and died would the NFL give us a new team with players we get to select from around the league or just give us the first 52 players the new regime would pick in the draft? (just sayin).

betcha haslam wasn't on that heap of junk.

I am sure we would have been given a team similar to how we got our last team. Teams would have had to expose maybe 7 players from their roster for a draft of players and we would have been given extra picks in the draft. I am sure that somewhere that has already been discussed and a plan is in place.

As for Haslam, I am sure he wasn't. He lives in Knoxville. He was on his jet headed to Tennessee. Why is he going to fly to Cleveland for a game in Cincinnati? Plus....why say the plane the team was on was a piece of junk? It was a regular jet used everyday.

I have flown more than a few miles. Sooner or later you are going to hit some bad weather and some rough landings. There have been a few. What gets me through those is my belief that the pilot wants to see his kids/wife/husband again as much as I do mine.

I mean, if the pilot decides that "today is a good day to die", well, the weather conditions don't really matter, do they?

The problem with message boards is you sometimes just read the words and don't know when to read between the lines.

10/2/70 A crash into a Colorado mountain left 29 members of the Wichita State football team dead (The Marshall crash occurred only six weeks later)

3/14/80 All sixteen members of the US amateur boxing team were killed in a Warsaw, Poland plane crash

Maybe it's not well known over there but everyone in european soccer knows the story of the munich air disaster. 20 out of 44 people on board killed.

So? You are saying that the next time you get on a plane it is best to make sure that the pilot isn't a Klingon?

It seems that every major league team has some sort of disaster contingency plan for replenishing a team's roster, including the NFL:

Fuck me. Where/when was this?

@slowburn said:

That was caused by the cargo shifting in the plane.

Honestly, it sounds like Schwartz just isn't used to or doesn't like flying. I've been in plenty of landings like that, and it's normal in crosswind landings for one wing to be much closer to the ground than the other.

man i almost missed my flight from frankfurt to philly cuz the boyz had me out on the town all night. i just made it (and you had to wear your dress uniforms) running to the gate. i know i stunk up the whole row on that big ass 747 3 deep in the middle 2 next to the windows.

kept drinking gin and tonics for the nine hour flight and even though my bladder was about to burst couldn't embarrass myself or the U.S> army by standing up and having to go piss, so i just waited until we landed and bomblasted the first men's room i saw.

been on a plenty tough flights. the best was when flying from LA to hawaii and cc deville from the band poison was on the plane. i had just got out of the army and partying my ass off and he's at the bar in the lux lounge in first class.

i go to him "man you must have the life, in a top band flying to hawaii to film 'MTV rocks' you got all the chicks in the world, c'mon man tell me you don't party your ass off?"

"no man, we just chill. no big deal."

2 months later after seeing the show of them (poison) in hawaii on their little boogie boards he goes into rehab from doing too much coke.

i was like mutherfucker, i knew it! at least that douchebag could have shared!

80's...the decade of new wave. punk, techno, rap had just come out and you didn't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases until like 85.

hit my primetime in the primetime.

oh btw: 2 great airline crash scenes (movies) tom kanks in the fedex cargo plane in 'castaway' and jeff bridges in the movie 'fearless'.
