Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes tries to crash airplane with his iPod
April 30, 2010 by Beatweek
Just weeks after being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the New York Jets, wide receiver Santonio Holmes was busted (although not arrested) during a recent flight for refusing to turn off his iPod as the plane was getting set to land. After the flight landed safely despite Holmes’ best efforts to crash the plane using the power of his iPod from his seat, police greeted the former Super Bowl MVP at the gates to remind him of the multitudes of airplanes that have crashed because someone forgot to turn off an iPod FAA rules which require behavior while in the air that would make no sense in any other societal situation.
Holmes wasn’t charged for the violation, but he is already facing a suspension for part of the upcoming NFL season for reasons we can’t remember. No word on whether the league will tack on extra games to his suspension due to this latest revelation that he’s a terrorist big fan of music.

LikeYou're not thinking it through.Most crashes occur on takeoff or landing. If you have a device plugged in you cannot hear emergency instructions. If you have wires dangling, they are a hazard to yourself and other people in an evacuation. It was the same with Walkmen and Discmen.The cellphone ban was because they didn't fully know the consequences and erred on the side of caution. Studies have shown most phone will not impact navigation, but they keep the instruction in as a convenience to other passengers.
