Fred Taylor, Samari Rolle, Lito Sheppard Africa Plane Video

My wife and I were traveling back from a resort in Kruger National Park on this small propeller plane when the door flew open. We were on the flight with some NFL players -- Fred Taylor of the Jaguars, Samari Rolle of the Ravens, and Lito Sheppard of the Eagles. We apparently weren't in any serious danger, but it was frightening experience nonetheless -- it's not every day you have a door fly open in a small plane over Africa...

For the record, nobody "panicked" or was in danger of "falling out the plane", as I've read in plenty of blogs (amazing how much the story got embellished!) We all were happy to land safely and said a prayer or two, for sure...

BTW, I can also say that all three of those guys and their wives were just the nicest bunch of people you could ever hope to meet -- both before and after this incident. The NFL should be proud to have them represent their organization, because they handled themselves with class throughout a fairly harrowing experience.
