This will make you not want to fly

This is terrifying.

Yesterday -- which also happens to be two days before the tenth anniversary of the tragic crash that killed 10 members of the Oklahoma State basketball program -- two different college hoops teams were involved in plane rides that probably would have left you terrified to even set foot in an airport again.

First, it was UMass, who had their plane land 10 minutes after takeoff after there was smoke in the cockpit.

"I was sitting in the first row seat and I smelled something strange," UMass coach Derek Kellogg told Andy Katz. "The pilot came on about 10 minutes into the flight and said they were having problems and we had to make an emergency landing in Albany and that there was smoke in the cockpit. There was a strange odor. I tried to make sure the guys were calm and the crew did a good job of keeping everyone calm."

The Minutemen eventually made it up to St. Bonaventure late Tuesday night.

The scarier incident involved North Carolina, whose plane landed in the middle of a thunderstorm in Florida where there were tornado advisories.

According to Matt Bowers, assistant director of media relations, storms in the area forced the plane to be rerouted over the ocean much more than usual when approaching Miami. "We descended through a thunderstorm to land," Bowers wrote in an email late Tuesday night. "It was a very bumpy ride for a bit, but thankfully the worst of it only lasted a few minutes. It was scary, but we're fine."

Sounds scary, right?

Now read the tweets from some of the Carolina players (via FOXSports):

Dexter Strickland: "WOW!! I really just had flashes of death on this plane! This plane ride just scared me for life!! God is too Good!!"

Strickland: "I can't believe there was really a moment on this plane ride when I thought it was over."

Strickland: "I still have my barf bag in my pocket."

Leslie McDonald: "Just experienced the scariest plane ride ever… really didn't think we was going to make it! #ThankGod."

McDonald: "I'm going to ask a question.. is it normal for a plane to legit keep you out of your seat for 3 seconds and nearly do a three sixty?"

Justin Watts: "Thank him!!!... That flight was the worst ever. Thought we were going down for a sec."

Larry Drew: "Thank the LORD we jus landed in Miami."

Drew: "Those are the type of flights that make you wanna do good, change ya life around. Lol"

Kendall Marshall: "Thank God for landing this plane safely."
