Speaker 1 (00:00):
John Ja rich Wee. We talked a lot about that plane
that crashed and flipped. How many people on the flight?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Uh, A lot of people were on the flight, I
think like sixty three seventy.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Or something like that, and they all lived.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yep, twenty one people were injured. But yeah, surprisingly they
all lived. But I mean, what a harrowing experience do you.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Never hear about plane crashes and people surviving, so especially
a fiery plane crash where the wings come off.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
So we thought we'd get into, you know, your near
death experience. So tell us you know why you should
be dead but you're not dead. Simon, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
What happened to you?
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Who I was on?
Speaker 5 (00:37):
I'm in Portland, Oregon, which is right next to the
Columbia River Gorge, and was on a real awesome hike
and almost died. How I was coming down from the
top of the trail and lost my footing on some
loose rock and started sliding down the trail And I
(00:58):
was heading right towards and I little thousand foot sheer cliffs.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh my god, a nice little thousand How did you stop?
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I kind of just threw myself to the ground on
my stomach. Thinking, you know, more more body surface on
the ground, more friction, maybe I'll stop. Wasn't stopping? Started
kind of scrambling, reaching out for roots, rocks, whatever. I
was able to snag a root with my hand that
stopped me about two feet short.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh my dude, that is so Indiana Jones.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
It was a it was a real uh, you know,
houckering moment of the you know, the lower area.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's crazy to me that you are having thoughts go
through your head while you're sliding to your imminent doom,
that you're thinking in these moments, better grab a root,
better flip on my stomach.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I think most people would be like, what is happening?
When it will be gone?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Were you kind of like sliding down you're thinking, oh,
it'll stop in a second.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Waiting? I mean, did you were you're sliding down? Did
you see the cliff? You knew that was coming?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yeah? It was an in and out trail, so I
had already passed it on the way up, and it
was like you walk down right to the edge and
then you know, you turned left and the trail goes
that way at all?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, did you at all like going while you were
sliding down, did you all in your brain go, we probably.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
More likely that falling a thousand feet would be just
the weirdest feeling that would tuck and roll. I mean,
then you don't feel anything at all after that.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I guess right.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
And I was thinking old school Looney Tunes or you know,
goofy when he falls off the cliffs, you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Take off your shirt, make a parachute, land safely. That's
what I would have done. That would definitely be like
a cartoon.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
It was a moment for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
We're glad you survived, my brother, and thank you for
sharing that story with us.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
It's pretty good. Almost hit a city bus? Huh uh yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (03:57):

Speaker 6 (04:07):
I didn't know it was somebody in the air. They
told me how to talk to somebody else about So
this is uh.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, okay, I answered the phone.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Oh very good.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Anyway, you guys remember about ten or fifteen years ago
that you guys almost came to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes, very much so.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
And I was the one who was kind of spearheading it,
like I was working nights to the time, so I
was sending out messages to all my friends to post
on the our iHeart station, uh huh like and I
got like five six hundred people to do it. Wow,
And oh yeah, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I wonder how we didn't get picked.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Up thirty to one.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I know it was ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Yeah, and uh, anyway, so I would send to the
message and tell them basically went to say, also, well
it ended up of course you guys didn't go there.
So I was writing furiously writing my response to that,
and this is why, of course you should never text
me drive and I just trying to drive on my
knees and I wandered sort of into the other lane
(05:04):
and almost at a park City bus going about fifty hours.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh my god, So you almost died trying to get
us on the air in Saint Louis.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Right, we should have of the Jah Jay and Rich
brand club.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
We should at least give you something I can. I
can mail him a CD or something like a couple
of CD. We're not on the air and Saint Louis, No, no,
we're not.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
All right, So look, you almost got killed listening to
us helping promote us in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And we're grateful for that lead. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I have a great day dog from here on the line.
Thank you. CC. Good morning, good morning. How are you good.
Do you have a near death experience?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I do.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
I was traveling with my younger brothers. We were traveling
from my dad's back to my mom's Okay, and we
were in La. We took off. It was myself and
my tulo brothers. I think I was maybe thirteen, and
the pilot comes on and says, we have to dump
our fuel, our landing gear is not working and prepare
for crash landing at Lax. Yeah, so we had to
(06:11):
everyone get in the crash position, you know, head between
your legs, shoes off. There are adults around us like crying,
and here I am with my little brothers trying to,
you know, keep them calm, and my little brother goes,
are we crashing? And we land on phone. My dad
heard it on the radio if he was driving home
(06:33):
from Lax. So he goes back and the airlines actually
wanted to put the three of us kids in a
hotel room till we could get another flight. And my
dad was like, absolutely, Nott, they are not going on
the airplane.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's what I thought you were going to say. I
thought your dad heard the crash. He's like, well, I
guess I don't need.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
To go to the No.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
No, it's like on the radio there was an issue
with airplane at LAA and they're preparing for landing, and
the fire trucks were there. It was the scariest thing
at twelve years old.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, so I mean, since then, do you have a
fear of flying now or going through that? You're like, hey,
I already been through a crash.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
I'm good, not really, but now I do. With everything
that's going on, it's really scary. Back then, I didn't
know any better.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
If I was your dad when I picked you guys up,
I would be like, guess we don't ever have to
go to Disneyland again.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Nothing's going to compare to that.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
I got.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
It was actually very concerned.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, yeah she was terrified.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
He was like, oh, I get to have you for
a couple more days. My mom was freaking out because
obviously she was in back East.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
She's so far away. She's probably helpless.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
We survived. There's far worse things in my life now.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh god, Well, if you want to share this, okay, said.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
