Košarkarski ekipi Utah Jazz je na poti v Memphis, kjer bi morali odigrati tekmo z grizliji, načrte prekrižala narava. Letalo Delta Boeing 757 je namreč trčilo v jato ptic, kar je povzročilo okvaro motorja, zaradi česar so morali zasilno pristati.
Po navedbah ameriških medijev je nekatere košarkarje zagrabila panika, zato je na krovu nastala prava drama, a se je vse skupaj končalo brez kakšnih hujših posledic.
"Bog je dober," je po vrnitvi v Salt Lake City na twitterju zapisal Royce O'Neale. "To je lep dan," je dodal Rudy Gobert.
Utah Jazz so trenutno najboljša ekipa v ligi NBA z izkupičkom 35-11.
Yikes!

Per @flightaware the plane was headed to Memphis when it was diverted back to SLC. The plane took off around 1:15 and landed back down at 1:40 p.m.
