PACKERS FAN USES FOAM TO PROTECT SELF DURING PLANE CRASH – 11/05 – Chicago Tribune
-The official Chicago Tribune article is difficult to find in its entirety, but I remember the story of passenger Frank Emmert Jr. vividly. My family members from Wicsonsin told the tale time and time again with great pride. There is also mention of this event all across the internet, especially on sports blogs. The story even evolved into an NFL advertisement, sponsored by Miller, featuring Frank Emmert Jr. posing at Lambau field.

As a local celebrity, Emmert now signs all autographs “May The Cheese Be With You.”

Twenty-one year old Benjamin Carpenter was innocently rolling across the street in Paw Paw, Michigan, when the light suddenly changed, and he was gracefully hooked onto the grill of an oncoming semitrailer. In what he later called “quite a ride,” Carpenter was whisked onto the highway, reaching a speed of 50 mph. A handy seatbelt kept him securely bound to his chair.
