This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one. The freak big story of
the day has been the explosion in fort Worth. Still waiting on some word
from officials on that the investigation is continued, but everyone's been kind of mum
on that. Not really any new details since last night. Played you a
clip of the fort Worth Fire Department spokesman last night and it's just as twenty
one people injured, no casualties. And yesterday's explosion that happened at three pint
thirty in the Sandman's Signature hotel over about the Wagoner Building off eighth Street in
fort Worth and the Massume restaurant was in the basement there, and officials are
saying right now they do believe it to be a gas leak. Nothing,
no foul play or anything like that is suspected. But still waiting for a
little more information on that. We've been tracking that all morning long, had
some first hand accounts about an hour and a half ago and things like that.
We hit up to sixty eight mile per hour wind last night. Kind
of crazy in some areas in the Metroplex. The wind was a howling here.
Yeah for morning too, big weather update, I've got some danny.
If you want to do it, I have too. If you want to
do a no, go for it. They got more on the Are we
going to do the Alaskan Airlines? Then? Yeah, let to get hit
the weather then we'll do that real quick. Mesically, what's going on with
the weather is we are going to be getting what they're going to term as
an Arctic blast, or maybe they'll come up with another catchy name that we've
never heard before by the end of the week. Strong cold front's moving in
over the weekend. Front's gonna hit on Friday, so we'll be goofing around
in the forties, then more cold overnight Sunday into Monday. Low's and the
teens twenty percent chance of snow and ice on Monday. As of right now,
hi's in the mid twenties. I saw a low as low as eleven.
I saw that too. Yeah, the Tuesday low is seven. Are
you effing kidding? I think that's going to be as of right now,
and raising night into like that whole Monday overnight and Tuesday low of seven.
We had the high of twenty one on Monday. It will be a snowflake
emoji. Next type bursting cold so yeah, as long as no freezing rain,
we can handle some snow. But boy, when this this city,
this area gets rain that freezes, it don't know how to act. It
does not like a little follow up Kevin from yesterday's big story, yeah man,
which was the Alaskan Airlines incident where a semi perforated hole that was designed
for to be a door on certain fuselages depending on depending upon the configuration of
the aircraft basically ripped open and flew off. Every the plane landed safely,
everybody was fine, but this caused the fa FAA to ground all seven thirty
seven Nines in the wake of this incident. And what this has forced other
airlines to do is let's look at ours and see if there's anything wrong.
Well, United did some emergency inspections and they canceled a bunch of their flights
on Monday, and they have found that they have found that they have had
loose bolts that needed to be tightened on a lot of their planes. And
I'm sure this is going to be in a kind of an across the board
thing where all of the planes that are that fall under this this type,
You're probably gonna have some commonalities across all of these types of planes that are
going to probably have similar issues. But yeah, they started the preliminary inspections
on Saturday. Delta found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the
door plug, for example, bolts that needed additional tightening. These findings will
be remedied by our tech ops team just safely returned the aircraft's aircraft to service.
Well, that seems like okay, boltsy, doesn't that seem like one
of the most simple things that you would need when assembling an airplane. Well,
sometimes when you assemble things, you just hand tighten and then get everything
right, and at the end you go for the big tight ening. Yeah,
or maybe he's a nice torque wrench to get it to the perfect amount
right, But that's after you get it nice and hand tighten. That's perfect,
everything good, and then you go for the big titan and maybe they
forgout that stuff. I grew up in Only, Texas, two hours away
from here. My dad worked at a company called air Tractor for nearly three
decades or more. They made airplanes, sounds air Tractor. It's called air
Track. They put wings on tractors. Air Tracker is one of the most
famous small businesses in the nation. I'll have you who, according to me,
the in fact, they were on an episode of David Letterman one time,
one of the most famous small businesses in America. And you'll have us,
You'll have me, I'll have you, I'll have you. Wait,
I'm not middle tractor. I'll have each other a little bit here at air
Tractor. So air tractor, they make crop dusters, and you know,
there's there's a the whole world too, where like the sounds like a toy
that Malcolm invented. They've built planes for. They've built planes for fire bombers,
fire bombers, crop dusters, things like that, spraying cocaine plants in
Bolivia, you name right. Uh, but my dad was there for a
long ass time. Uh he's retired now. But my mom and my brother
worked there too. So I have my whole life had a lot of unless
let's say, I've been in proximity to small airplanes my entire life. So
I can't think of expert to speak on these Boeing seven thirty seven Jumbo supernines
than you look. The perspective that you get from having Kevio on the show.
I mean, I am good friends with the co founder of Massume where
the explosion happened yesterday, right, But I uh, little things like I
know a little bit about the inner workings of this and my dad, before
he got promoted to damn near running the FN company, was working, you
know, on the wings, right, I mean, it's what he did
for years, factory work. And I kind of make fun of the forty
hour work week in America. I think it is antiquated when in nineteen twenty
just because Gerald Ford's like, hey, a forty hour work week would be
great, let's do that, and we still do that. I think that's
bad for a lot of jobs. But for factories, it is important to
have that and that structure. And that's where I don't know. When you
talk talking about the biggest ass airplanes that the Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine,
are we talking about factory manual hand tightening or are we talking about electronical
hand tightening or electronical tightening of the bolts well, having like robotics handle all
that. Yeah, I don't know. I truly don't know bolts though,
you know, vibration creates Where I'm going with this is has your faith in
humanity led you to be more comfortable about flying on airplanes that are built by
humans? I know that's deep. Really, how many times do we talk
about how it's into the deep? I know, how many times do we
talk about how dumb are we're all getting as a society? Oh? I
agree? Do you? Like? For sure? Are you? What's the
question? And I've also said that people, human beings cut corners when given
the opportunity. This doesn't happen at air tractor, but you can envision it
because they don't let you have phones on the floor. You know, trust
me. I know my mom can't listen to the show while she's painting airplanes,
right, But like, can you imagine a world where we're handtanening these
bolts while we're also catching up on our Twitter feed or Instagram or browsing Facebook?
Totally? No, No, you're right. Do I really get in
the plane? Do I really think that when I take my car to get
the oil change, that they're really checking off everything on their twenty point inspection?
No, I don't expect that. I just think that the stakes are
a little bit higher when it comes to air traveled life and death. Yeah,
because one bolt can be life death for three hundred plus people. If
it's you forget to, you know, put the drain plug back in my
differential in my car and I have an accident, Well it's just me,
Yeah, no big deal. Yeah, it's it's a big difference. And
I would like to think that when these planes in between flights, it's just
a little more of a over. They're looking it over and making sure things
are good with a I don't know, just a more scrutinous eye, is
all I'm says. And I know you're obviously more at risk when you're thirty
thousand feet, But I always look at planes like a car that somebody inspects
pretty much every two or three times you drive, Yeah, and your car
never just shuts off, you know. I mean, there's a thing we
can trust that we just didn't. We just trust inspections. We trust that
our FDA, you know, food workers wash their hands or use gloves.
The f is a little more stringent than most, and there are requirements for
commercial airplanes that are far beyond what food and our cars have to go through.
I hope. So all I know is that human nature is human nature,
and if people can get away with it. They'll look the other way.
It saves them time. I heard this Skin and Ben show yesterday and
they were talking, if you ever notice what sort of aircraft you're going to
fly on? And I'm with them, No, I noticed the terminal and
the departure time and the airline. That's it. Like, I don't ever
check. But now I think Skin said that he has a friend who checks
the type of plane and will change flights. I'm now checking. I'm not
flying as a seven thirty seven bowing Max. Okay, I was picturing this
yesterday. Let's say you were flying somewhere today for work and you don't know
because we're you know, we're not doing that sort of research. And you
get in your window seat and you sit down and you look and it is
a air tractor. No, not an air tractor. It's a one seater,
buddy, it is. It is not a safety aisle. You know,
you're not an exit row. But there's like the door right there.
Yeah, I mean what, and that's your seat. You are the one
that if that happened again, you'd pledge ride it out. I probably would
ride it out, surely, But if you if you could control it and
get ahead of it. You might do that. But if you sit down
in that scene and you look over and you see a little there's a panel
where the door used to be, and there's a little loose thing and an
Alan Rancher sitting on the ground. Is your dad? Rick Turner? He
is, Oh, I found an article about him that air tractor was this
about the scandal thought the scandal game. He began his career eighty seven at
air tractor working wing assembly. That checks out ninety two, big promotion,
ninety four, big promotion ninety six, and then in two thousand and three
is promoted a vice president of operations. It says currently he's disappointed in his
son Kevin. It's vegetate, that's right, I think that, It says
updated today. Yeah, they changed things quick on this world. So enjoy
you every minute while you have this article updated this morning. The one guy
in the family who does not work an air tractor, well that explains,
you know, Turner Ranch. We were able to afford that because their dad's
CEO of an airline. Hey, you retired, no money for options Turner
airport and why don't you get an airport in only they have one Turner Field
air Tractor Munis munis only municipal airport is there? Dude? When nine to
eleven happened, it was nuts because there was one guy walking around on the
runway with a gun, like something was gonna happen at your airstrip. Yeah,
out in the middle of nowhere. It's crazy, But I got to
watch the plane airplanes that would come in. Like if we knew a plane
was coming, I drive out and watch a plane land because we knew.
You know, yeah, we have we have a tiny airport in Knox City
and for crop dusting and stuff like that. But the runway is long enough.
It is long. In an emergency, you could probably drop a jet
down there. What happened to the door of the thing of the the door
flew off a plane. They haven't found the door, but they found a
bunch of cell phone. They found the door. I think they found the
door. We found the door today. Get this, where's the door?
So the door plug, which is weird, basically door door plug was found
in the backyard of a school teacher named Bob in Portland, Oregon, which
I imagine Portland now. He said his neighbors were like apparently he had a
little bit of property, and his neighbors like, you should go look because
we're looking for the door plug. And he found it and now he's a
full hero at this uh school that he teaches at because he's seventy one.
Did he say finders keepers and give it to him? Yeah, And they're
like, we need to investigate, we need to see He goes, no,
it's mine. Now it's a shotgun. Click, get off my property.
What's it called when someone your property it is yours? What's it called
finders keepers? Well, no, that's not that's not what it's coming domain.
Maybe maybe I don't think that's what the government. Yeah, that's when
they mow your house there and to build up a one hundred and thirty four
story tower in Oklahoma City. One person, one passenger. I did an
interview with NBC News heard that a mom had to hold her teenage son so
tightly to keep him from being sucked out of the plane. Oh can you
even imagine also that I'm guessing this was like a skinny kid or something because
it said his shirt got sucked off. Oh, which I just out.
I imagine this scene in Tommy Boy when he's in Janine Garofflo's office, and
she's like, he's mad at her because she won't use modern technology. And
when she sends the files, she sends him through the tube that you do
at the bank, you know. And he said it sucks his shirt off.
Oh yeah, that's right. And he's just sitting there and he's like,
you know, holy Yankees, I lost my shirt. That is insane.
If you get your shirt sucked off your body. Yeah, And they
said his body was all red and they think it's just because the wind,
because it was weird, because not, there wasn't a lot of freaking out
on the plane. There were three babies on the flight who happened to be
Yeah, you gotta hold your baby. There has no seat belt for babies,
is there not. Yeah, you got to hold your damn baby the
whole trip. If they were up higher, we're talking nearly two other casualties.
No, the pilot yesterday said that that's not necessarily the case. He
said, they have a little bit of time oxygen. The bodies started sucking
out the plane. They said, you got what about forty minutes of oxygen
supply for the passengers on board. Then if you can get to your mask
you've got it, you know, up to a minute. In some cases
sometimes it's little, just a few seconds, but you get your mask on,
they immediately start descending to get you into a lower pressure situation where there's
more oxygen in the atmosphe it's not and the seats guaranteed death or damn damaged.
If the seats were damaged. Some of the seats were damaged. Okay,
at sixteen thousand feet double that, some seats are ripping out and going
out the door. I'm sorry, I don't, I don't. I'm not
qualified to challenge that pilot, the gold In. I think he gives a
lot of good insight into what was going on there. But I do think
it would have been way more tense. They had been higher. Taking someone
sitting on the john and I bet it. Would you like a Would you
like a drink? And here's some pretzels? Do you think that I forget
it? Then the cart gets sucked out, you know, and the flight
intendant, lady, you can't get any drinks. It's bad man, bad
deal. They also found two cell phones. One was found in a yard
safe like put together, and one was found on the side of the road,
also like not destroyed now. I but think that a phone that falls
that far would just shatter when it hits the ground. Otter box, but
the otter box, the otter box. You could just smash an outer box
with a sledge ever, and it's fine. Your phone still works. It's
crazy. I have an otter box and it's a cracker story. Man.
Yeah, yeah, see I'm trying. Oh it is cracked. Yeah,
it's just broken right there from dropping it. But I've never as many cell
phones as I've had in my life, never cracked a screen really, never
once. Wow, You're welcome. It sucks you crack it, then you
just deal with it for another six months because you click no on insurance.
All right, what else are we doing? Well? What did Aaron Rodgers
and Jimmy Kimmel thing? I think in a minute at nine thirty five.
So that's a story. Why doone to have full time? And I want
to carry it over. I have full time for it. And did y'all
see the story? And you know, may not care, but I saw
this and it made me just feel old. Tiger Woods is done with Nike
for twenty seven years. No, I did not, yep. And it's
basically it sounds like because Nike's getting out of the golf game, and I'm
wondering if they're getting out of the golf game because Tiger doesn't play much anymore.
If I'm Nike, I'm buying I'm staying in the golf game, and
I'm signing a deal with Charlie Woods right now, because whether that boy is
good at golf or not, he's going to have a career in something because
he's got the other thing that's working for him. And it's creepy to say,
but he's a good looking boy, so he's gonna be able to do
whatever he wants. All around the game. He'll play. People say that
he's the third best golfer on his high school team. He's not the star.
But you know, Michael Jordan was at the start in North Carolina in
the beginning, right, So hold his little Chucky Woods fifteen something like that.
Well, we're not lame drive when he gets his driver's license, right,
they're not. You can't. His dad's a terrible driver. His dad
can't drive jacked up on ambient and god knows what else when he was driving
he's fourteen. Sorry, Okay, is he getting offers yet I don't know,
but I'm saying, why would you get out of the golf game now
watch him join? Ye, you're just going to keep an entire wing of
your production company up in hopes that Charlie Woods turns into something we Yeah,
and you wouldn't go to the live tour for that, because the Lift tours
are going to be sponsoring the Aces or whatever the name of their teams are.
I think Nike Golf always was barely just kind of hanging on too write.
Not too many problems people, really. I mean they millions and millions
of clubs, I get it, but another clubs and balls sucked apparel I
better they did, okay, but yeah, their clubs really never took off.
I don't think I hated their balls too. Yeah. I hated playing
like he switched to bridge Stone. Yeah, he didn't want to play their
stuff ever. I think even played stuff that wasn't really Nike, but they
would put a Nike logo on it. I mean, dude, that was
so huge when that commercial came out though, that Hello Hello World, Hello
World. Yeah, and I watched that a couple of weeks ago. For
whatever reason, I forgot why chill still, I was just like the bounce
the ball on the wedge and then hit it one. Okay, that was
incredible too. That was awesome. I had a lot of great commercials,
but the best commercial I think we can all say when it comes to sports
at least is Charlie Steiner, Michael Jordan and Larry Birder having been playing horse
and they're knocking it all for Big Max. Yeah, for Big Macs,
and they're doing Happy Gilmour onto eighteen shots in the gym off that and no,
Charlie Steiner follow me to Freedom. Oh yes. The ESPN commercial as
a Evander Holyfield too. Zligern, come on out of her Steiner, come
on out and get your whooping god. Sports Center was great commercial. There's
one of Stuart Scott just stuffing a five year old and then and then doing
the pump down celebration not to raise the roof the pump down, which is
great. H I love the postgame interview with the puzz give interview with Dan
Patrick and Kinny Maine. A great one that went under is when the hate
rookie hazing as they got into the teleprompter for Larry Beale and they changed it
and he's reading and that'll be a trip to the d L for Seymour Heine
and they show like the Syracuse Orange Man laughing as he was the one behind
the prank. God so great, it's only the mascot creating chaos. Got
ESPN was good twenty five years. It was yeah, what happened? Big
show, what happened? I would watch Sports Center replays of Sports Centers that
I'd already seen, memorize it. So why even if you stumble on it
now, am I like instantly bored? Because they don't have fun anymore and
they do too many specials, cool, cool guy catchphrases, fun times.
No, let's go out to the analysts, let's do pics. Know what
they did is they early on they had personalities that were likable, and they
got too big for their breeches, and the thought anybody can do this job.
They're just reading the news and doing highlights. And now we have Matt
Bear. Now no one cares about that. The only good thing now is
bad bad beats. Yeah that was Scott van Pell. Yeah that s VP.
Say what you want about Craig Kilbourne, but he was excellent at that
job. Sure he was, sure he was to me, I mean,
Dan Patrick and Olberman were good too. Olderin's insufferable. Now that incredible.
Dan Patrick and Kenney Maine together and then Rich Eisen at Scott were kind of
the bag game and they were excellent, and they've all gone on to have
great careers. So you know, good job, guys. There's your Sports
Center look back, come next. Though, Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Aaron
Rodgers, and basically he's laid it out for Aaron Rodgers to apologize. We're
gonna play the audio and see where you stand next on ninety seven one
