In an effort to make things right, Post Malone took his own ride to the bottom of the sea on a water drive. “This is what I wanted to do, to feel my heart stop beating,” he said. “But instead I just felt like doing whatever it was that I loved the most.”
Post Malone was involved in a terrifying emergency plane landing in 2019. It was reported that the pilot was forced to land after two tires blew out, but an investigation conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration later revealed there were other factors at play that could have led to an even scarier outcome. According to USA Today, the investigation concluded that the plane “exceeded its maximum gross takeoff weight,” and the “maximum gross landing weight.”
The Federal Aviation Administration also revealed, “The flight crew did not comply with the manufacturer’s procedures for wheel brake cooling times after an overweight landing. The aircraft maximum gross takeoff weight was exceeded for the second takeoff from KTEB.” It was ultimately determined that the emergency landing was due to “Pilot-induced error.”
Post Malone isn’t a fan of plane rides, so it’s perhaps no surprise that this was quite an unpleasant experience for him. “I’m terrified of flying in the first place, so every time I get on a flight, I always try my best to fall asleep,” Malone told Billboard in 2018. “But this one …I wasn’t tired, so we got on the plane, we took off. There was a censor malfunction up front, so we had to turn around and land again.” He shared that the plane continued to malfunction after it took off a second time, which likely induced even more anxiety.
