The Pittsburgh Steelers' legendary quarterback Terry Bradshaw had a bit of a heroic act caught after his flight landed.

As passengers remained trapped on the plane, it's fair to assume some slight panic began to settle in. According to Ricky Sayer of KDKA News, Bradshaw, known for his calm demeanor both on and off the field, took matters into his own hands. While others might have panicked, Bradshaw’s quick thinking and actions helped to resolve the situation.

Bradshaw was credited with helping to get the door unstuck, and soon after, the pilot announced the door was finally open. This unexpected heroic act showcased Bradshaw’s leadership and willingness to help others, adding another memorable moment to his legacy.

"The pilot announced and you could kind of hear he was chuckling as he said it, but he said 'thanks to the strength of one of our passengers, we were finally able to get the door open' and I think we all knew he was alluding to Mr. Bradshaw," said traveler Selah Gamble.

According to the report, Bradshaw was seated in the front row of a plane flying in from Dallas-Fort Worth. He was heading to Pittsburgh to attend his former teammate Mel Blount’s celebrity roast on Friday night.
