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.
โI 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. โBecause we had a fire emergency landing in Pittsburgh.โ
Snitsky described the surreal moment when he realized something was seriously wrong.
โI was actually watching Varsity Bluesโฆ I have my headphones on just chilling. I can see the stewardess doing these brace for impact things. Iโm like, they donโt usually do that. So I pulled my earphone. Theyโre like, โOh, we may be having a crash landingโโฆ Iโm 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.
โNever in all my life I thought Iโd be in that situation on a little two-hour flight,โ he said. โWe literally took off from Philly, emergency landed in Pittsburgh. I texted my wife, sheโs a mess.โ
Thankfully, Snitsky and all passengers landed safely.
