Terry Bradshaw Refutes Heroic Claims in Pittsburgh Plane Incident

The NFL legend clarified that maintenance crews, not him, resolved the jammed door issue that delayed passengers at Pittsburgh International Airport.

A flight from Dallas to Pittsburgh experienced a 30-minute delay due to a jammed door at Pittsburgh International Airport on April 10, 2025.
Initial reports and passenger accounts credited Terry Bradshaw with forcing the door open, portraying him as a hero.
Bradshaw later posted on Instagram, denying involvement and crediting maintenance personnel for resolving the issue in 15 minutes.
The incident occurred as Bradshaw traveled to Pittsburgh to celebrate former teammate Mel Blount’s 77th birthday and the 50th anniversary of the Steelers’ first Super Bowl win.
The media frenzy highlights the interplay between Bradshaw’s iconic status and public perception, with fans humorously referencing his past athletic feats.
