Former WWE superstar Gene Snitsky recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet and shared details of a terrifying flight experience that forced an emergency landing in Pittsburgh.

What was supposed to be a routine two-hour trip from Philadelphia to Indianapolis quickly turned into a day of uncertainty.

โ€œI had an interesting trip, basically a two-hour flight from Philly to Indianapolis turned into a whole day of hoping that I make it to Indianapolis alive,โ€ Snitsky said. โ€œBecause we had a fire emergency landing in Pittsburgh.โ€

Snitsky described the surreal moment when he realized something was seriously wrong.

โ€œI was actually watching Varsity Bluesโ€ฆ I have my headphones on just chilling. I can see the stewardess doing these brace for impact things. Iโ€™m like, they donโ€™t usually do that. So I pulled my earphone. Theyโ€™re like, โ€˜Oh, we may be having a crash landingโ€™โ€ฆ Iโ€™m like, what? So, your mind starts racing, it was crazy, dude.โ€

The former WWE star said the entire ordeal was unexpected and emotionally draining.

โ€œNever in all my life I thought Iโ€™d be in that situation on a little two-hour flight,โ€ he said. โ€œWe literally took off from Philly, emergency landed in Pittsburgh. I texted my wife, sheโ€™s a mess.โ€

Thankfully, Snitsky and all passengers landed safely.
