Tough Linebacker Endures Scary Flight

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) ― Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis says it was one of the scariest experiences of his life.

He had to endure an unnerving ride aboard a helicopter during fog and rain Tuesday afternoon. Lewis was on his way back to Baltimore from New York when the fog enveloped the chopper and it became impossible to see.

Lewis says he put on his headphones and started praying. The pilot descended and finally found a safe place to land in a field in Cecil County.

From there, Lewis rode with police Baltimore where he appeared at a Christmas Party for 600 children.
