Wiki, in part: "Madden is noted for his fear of flying, believed to be related to the October 29, 1960, plane crash that claimed the lives of sixteen players, the team’s student manager, and a football booster all from his alma mater, Cal Poly. Having graduated from the school only two years previous, Madden lost many friends in the accident. However, it is known that Madden flew up until 1979, when he had a panic attack on a flight originating in Tampa. He stated once in an interview that it was not about turbulence, flying or heights, but primarily claustrophobia. He also once noted that when he did fly, traveling all over the United States did not allow him to see anything." -- BOB ____________________________________________________________ Get the sign you need for the impact you want.
