Wow, crazy times!

Jet lands safely at TIA despite tire blowout
By Jessica Vander Velde, Times Staff Writer

TAMPA — A U.S. Airways jet safely landed at Tampa International Airport this afternoon despite the fact that one of its front tires blew out.

Paramedics went to the west runway just before 3 p.m. after getting reports that a 737 aircraft was having problems landing.

No one was injured, including the one celebrity on board: infomercial king Billy Mays, of Odessa, said Tampa Airport Authority spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan.

The west runway was briefly shut down, and passengers were transported to the terminal, Geoghagan said.

She said the plane blew out a tire under its nose.

The plane was flight 1241 from Philadelphia to Tampa.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident, U.S. Airways spokesman Jim Olson said.

I'm more saddened by this than the 3 that just bought the farm...

Wow! I bet no one had him in the death pool! Totally unexpected! RIP Billy.

Who had him next?

I guess I don't watch that much, but I thought I watched enough. Based on the video you posted it looks like having TiVo pretty much eliminates me from ever hearing this guy make it three words into a sentence. (Unless, of course, somebody posts the video on CP.) I also rarely am motivated to find out the names of people doing annoying T.V. ads.

RIP Billy.
I would have much prefered it was the Scam WOW guy. But he was busy with his hooker I guess and couldn't have done it.

But on second thought, maybe if Clinton had seen a Sham WOW commercial he could have saved himself a lot of problems and embarrassment.

He and another infomercial dude had their own show on TLC or some channel called Pitchmen.

Mays struck me as a very unhealthy fellow.

RIP, Billy. You may have promoted shitty products, but you did not take yourself seriously. You will be missed.

Unreal.. I literally just got done watching a episode of Pitchmen on Discovery channel just a few minutes ago.
Guess that show is done for now.
Rest in Peace Billy.

Dang, RIP billy :(

Just wondering when Billy arrived at the Pearly Gates and St. Peter answers...did Billy say..."Hi...Billy Mays Here..."?

Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead

Posted Jun 28th 2009 11:50AM by TMZ Staff
<!-- sphereit start -->http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tmz.com/m...s_bn_ap_01.jpgTMZ has confirmed TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead today in his home in Tampa, Florida early this morning.

According to the Tampa PD, the 50-year-old TV pitchman was found unresponsive by his wife Deborah at 7:45 AM.

TMZ has learned Mays' body has already been removed from his home.

Mays had just returned from Philadelphia, where he shot a new OxiClean commercial. He was a passenger aboard a plane that suffered a blown front tire upon landing. He told a local TV station, "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

We're told Mays was at his home around 6:00 PM last night, and according to a source Mays was "acting fine and normal ... he was talking business with his father-in-law."

According to cops, there are no signs of forced entry to the residence and no foul play is suspected.

The Medical Examiner's office is expected to complete the autopsy by tomorrow afternoon.

Billy's wife Deborah just released the following statement:

Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times.

Maybe they'll just say them REALLY LOUD

Wow, he was on Conan this week and the new Playboy that appeared the same day. No indication of poor health.

Unexpected and sad :(. What's going on.

I think Al Qaeda has infiltrated hollywood!

Aww, this guy owned :(

WTF :(

Wow, tough week to keep your heart beating....

i don't think he's really dead

GEEZ. Wtf is going on?? RIP Billy.

ROFL

HI, SAINT PETER, BILLY MAYS HERE TO GET IN!

IF YOU LET ME IN NOW, WE'LL DOUBLE YOUR ORDER!!! + SHIPPING AND HANDLING OF COURSE!

MADE BY THE GERMANS, SO YOU KNOW I'M GOOD!










oh wait, wrong guy. :p

Seal his coffin with Mighty Putty.

I bet he hit his head during the plane mishap yesterday.

this guy just screams a pound of coke a day

that was actually kinda going through my head...

(calm billy mays walks into dressing room)...man, I need to get up for this infomercial... [seen walking toward vanity, where he does three lines of cocaine]

MAN, I'M BILLY MAYS! **** YEAH!

that beard will live forever

Something did fall out of the overhead and hit him, apparently. He laughed it off saying he had a hard head.

Doin' it up Natasha Richardson style, mayhaps. :(

That is freaky. RIP Billy

This sucks. RIP.

Both he and MJ were the same age, and not much older than me. I guess I'd better straighten up.

My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if the autopsy finds some type of brain bleed/intracranial problem. He said it hit really hard. Couch doctor of course, but wouldn't surprise me in the least. That would be the odds-on favorite right now. Maybe his family can get a big ass settlement from the airline if that is deemed to be the cause of death. Would suck to lose someone at 50. Wish the family the best.

Should have been the Shamwow guy.

Holy Christ, this was probably the last person I would have guessed would kick the bucket next....

RIP

With that beard, he always reminded me of G.I. Joe.

Wow, didn't expect that.

WOW, this was one of those "John Goodman" threads until I went to CNN's web site.
