I flew on an a commercial airliner that had a malfunctioning landing gear. They circled the Houston airport for almost an hour to burn off excess fuel.
Bush Airport? Continental business class jet?
I met a guy who worked for Continental. Tire blew on takeoff, inspection of the plane later found a LARGE dent to the cowling of the jet intake. If it is the plane and incident I am thinking of these jets have two engines near the tail of aircraft (think Boeing 717).
It was on takeoff. Had that piece of tire flew a few inches left, it would have flown into that engine at takeoff thrust/speed. You'd have had "a lot of problems". His quote.
You were closer to death than you knew.

When I was 16, my buddy and I saw a car cross over the median and get obliterated by a van. We pulled over and ran to the car. We heard a baby noise coming from the back. I tried to reach through the wreck but my arms were too big. A lady got it out and ran it to the hospital.

was leaving for work and after lightning had struck my condo. go outside to see that it had struck my neighbor's as well. blew up a window unit that caused a roaring flame
some guys from the neighborhood next door came and we went inside to make sure they didn't have pets. we kicked open the upstairs door (that had the window unit) and you couldn't see dick, nor could you breathe. we ended up just running in and throwing buckets of water on the flames until someone brought an extinguisher. wrapped my head in a wet t-shirt and went and sprayed some more
stopped the fire, but the poor girl's room was totally fricked. her tv screen melted and all of her clothes were fricked to hell

Player was a 17 year old junior. Complete arse. Rest of the team over performed because they were free of him.

I assume drinks on him for pretty much the rest of your life?

You have to be the biggest liar on this site. I swear if everything that you say happened to you in our life really did you should stay indoors and never leave.

Swam halfway across the Mississippi River to the island just off Plaquemine Point.
Drove my brother's 4Runner around Lead King Basin near Marble, CO. Much of that trail was meant for nothing larger than a 4x4. Scary as hell when you have one tire off the edge of a 50 Ft cliff.

Had gender reassignment surgery. It took a lot of guts but now I identify as an asexual Pakistani sea otter and I've never been happier

Felt something was wrong. Saved my sister from drowning, she a year, me seven. I laid into my stupid aunts who were watching us

Rescued 2 pregnant women who pulled in front of a van and got t-boned. Both were unconscious and blood was everywhere- engine had a small fire.
The lady passenger later sued both the driver of the car she was in (van hit on her side) and the driver of the van that hit them.
It was later determined that the car had ran a red light and pulled out in front of the van.

You are not even funny. I on the other hand am not claiming to be anything special.

Responded to a W4M ad on Craigslist. Thought I was gonna get murdered but it turned out incredibly fun and legit. She was Fat school teacher in her 30s who just loved suckin dick on her way home from happy hour with friends.
She spotted me a few months later at Chimes East with her teacher buddies at the bar area.

But did you know of the malfunction before boarding the flight?
Didn't think so

Worked as a refueler on frac sites in the Bakken to make money for my family. Woke up most mornings wondering to myself "I wonder what will kill me today."
My first vote was on someone talking over the radio while a gun was in the air and primed. Blowing me and the truck full of fuel to smitherines, along with everything else within range. My second vote was on a Hydro failing while under pressure, especially the ones that required climbing halfway inside to fuel. Because I couldn't get out in time to run away. I also half expected a horsepower to throw a rod throw my skull on most days. At least we didn't really have to worry about H2S.
I'm a brave man, just like rebeloke. Praise my giant balls of steel.

When I was in Nicaragua, I couldn't make the summit of San Cristobal (highest volcano in Nicaragua and C. America). My partner wouldn't listen to me and went on ahead.
I waited on him down at the base camp. It got dark and he wasn't back. Worried, I built a huge bonfire in the orange grove at the base of the volcano. I could see a faint light moving up and down the mountain about 3/4 of the way up. In the pitch black with a local guide I went up the mountain looking for him. He wasn't on the trail or near the trail.
We went down and looked back up the mountain. Again we saw the light. We charged back up the mountain. Couldn't find him.
Went back down. Saw the light again and then nothing.
We went up one more time. I yelled his name the whole time. Finally, I heard him calling faintly from right off the trail. I went off trail to find him. I thought he was only 50 yards or so away. I ended up following his voice for another hour or so, scrambling over rocks, fallen trees, and ash fields in the pitch dark. Mountain air and volcanoes do strange things to sound. We finally found him at the bottom of a crevice with a broken leg.
He had fallen into it and snapped his leg across a fallen tree.
I got him up and carried him fireman style down to base camp.
The same volcano I couldn't summit, I climbed three times in as many hours.
Ended up sleeping in a goddamn chicken coop that night and drinking cheap arse Mombacho rum with the guides before hiring a donkey for my partner and walking out by myself the 10KM to the main road at about 5:30 am.
Actually pretty badass

You made a terrible coaching decision. Instead of coaching up that player, and teaching him how to be a team player, you took the easy way out. You had an opportunity to change his behavior, and have an impact on his life. Instead you made him feel like a victim, and made his attitude worse, by never telling him it was his attitude that got him cut. Just saying there were better players, when he knew there weren't.
You also potentially changed his future, guys who are the best on their respective highschool teams can normally play for smaller colleges. If he wasn't good enough for that, then you took way his final 2 years of playing a sport he loved on an organized team. I know I feel like I got punched in the gut if I think about the athletic opportunities I missed, especially ones that were beyond my control.
All around, it was a jackass move. But, I'll give you a small break since you were a new coach and didn't really know what you were doing. In the future, know you have the power to change a kid's life for the better, and use the sport as the fulcrum needed to leverage the kid into a better attitude.

I get what you are saying, and as the JV coach I spent the previous two years doing just that. Kid ruined the experience for the rest of the team, and sometimes when you're in charge you need to make decisions for the greater good.
