NFL legend Terry Bradshaw, 76, saves pᴀssengers trapped on plane

NFL Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw was credited with ‘saving’ a group of pᴀssengers who were trapped on a flight from Texas to Pittsburgh.

The 76-year-old spent more than a decade as quarterback for the Steelers, leading Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl crowns.

He is now a popular member of the Fox Sports broadcast team but, on Thursday, Bradshaw intervened when the door to a plane would not budge.

According to KDKA, the door on the plane was stuck for close to 30 minutes after arriving at Pittsburgh International Airport before Bradshaw – who was sitting in the front row – forced it open.

The 76-year-old reportedly earned a shout-out from the pilot. ‘You could kind of hear he was chuckling as he said it,’ Selah Gamble told KDKA.

‘He said, “Thanks to the strength of one of our pᴀssengers, we were finally able to get the door open,” and I think we all knew he was alluding to Mr. Bradshaw.’

Another pᴀssenger said they were made to ‘eat their words’ after joking that Bradshaw was too old to intervene.

‘The guy next to me had made the joke that they should have him bust down the door and I was like, “Well maybe he could a few years ago”, so I’m definitely eating my words,’ they said.

Bradshaw was reportedly flying to Pittsburgh for Mel Blount’s celebrity roast on Friday night. 

The ex-quarterback is Master of Ceremonies for the event, which doubles up as a celebration of the Steelers’ first Super Bowl win.

Ahead of this year’s end-of-season showpiece in New Orleans, Bradshaw revealed that he is planning to retire in 2029.

‘It’s a young man’s game. I get that.’ Everybody wants the new,’ he said.
