"The plane just shut down," Depp explains. "The sound of the engines stopped. There was silence. Bruce and I were looking at each other and I think I said, 'Is this it?' It was like this weird extended moment when you're just floating for a second and you could feel this unpleasant descent."

"Nobody said a word except for Bruce and I, sitting next to each other saying, 'Oh sh-t! This is death; I guess this is how it goes down,'" Depp says. "Then we burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that this was how we were going to die."

Depp and Robinson, 65, were relieved when the engines suddenly started back up and. "I guess you could say that was a big bonding experience for Bruce and me," Depp says. "For a moment there, we were going down together."

Do you suppose Johnny thanked God that those engines started back?
Thank God their safe. Praying the Lord will always keep him safe in his many travels. Be a sad world without such a talented actor.

So glad he's ok, I would've been scared to death!!!He can't die right now,He has too much to live for...
"Crash" OH COME ON REPORTERS the plane DIDN'T CRASH. The Engines cut off and the plane descended. Incident or scare yes "crash" no. Fortunately for all involved the engines came back on and the plane didn't "CRASH". It would be interesting to see a followup report on what happened with the plane technically.
Oh my Gosh!!! Johnny, our love for You is so big that u shall be saved everytime...!
Scary stuff! Don't you hate it when you are on a plane and you hear strange noises or it gets stalled? We had to stop, slamming the brakes twice before takeoff one flight. I felt like walking back to the terminal and taking a bus! I'm glad Mr. Depp is all right!
Thank god he OK That was a close call ..
Andy, I use to think that actors make too much money until I thought about what the job is really like. Actors work a set of temporary jobs, and we pay tons of money to see our favorite actors in movies, so they deserve a ton of money especially for the freedom that they lose.
Johnny has a guardian angel, my 12 year old daughter who passed away 11 months ago. She loved Johnny, he was one of her favorite actors.
Thank heaven it wasn't their time to go. Johnny Depp is my favourite actor and really the only one I make a point of seeing his movies. I don't idolize actors but I appreciate a good actor when I see one. They bring in a lot of money and why should they not share in the spoils?
Actors should not be paid as much as they get, and they certainly should not be idolized by anyone.
I love this man! The entertainment industry will be at a true loss when something does happen to him one day!!
