Giants trashed jet t home: passengers
The Giants “trashed” their chartered jumbo jet after getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Packers — leaving it reeking of booze and in need of a major clean-up when it got to Newark Airport, passengers who boarded the plane afterward said Monday.
Mark Kropf, 37, was waiting to get on United Airlines Flight 934 to London when “the pilot came out and asked for everyone’s patience, and shared where the plane came from and that the plane needed extra help repairing and cleaning the interior,” he said.
“Another 30 minutes passed and the gate agent told us it was the Giants that destroyed the biz class cabin, and we saw service personnel walking countless seat cushions off the plane,” Kropf, a techcompany employee from Brooklyn, wrote on Twitter.
“Upon entering the business class cabin, the cleaning scent only partially masked the alcohol smell. I had popcorn, chewing tobacco and other food crumbs on my seat.”
The Giants denied trashing the plane. “It’s not true. It’s false,” a team spokesman said.
United confirmed the team flew on the Boeing 767-400 from Green Bay, Wis., where Big Blue got drubbed by the Packers, 38-13, in a wild-card playoff game Sunday.
It was the Giants’ first postseason appearance since winning Super Bowl XLVI in 2012.
Gordon Allott, president and CEO of the tech firm BroadPeak, e-mailed The Post from inside the plane while waiting for takeoff.
“We are about 2.5 hours delayed. We were told the Giants had this plane last night and trashed it. Which is the cause of the delay,” he wrote.
Allott also tweeted his outrage, fuming: “The @Giants are poor losers. #UA934.”
Sian Welby, a British TV weather forecaster-turned-Snapchat-maven for the BBC, posted a photo of herself on board the plane holding a safety pamphlet with “GO GIANTS!” written on it.
“Thanks @Giants for trashing this plane so badly it was delayed for 2hrs in a ‘clean up operation’ which meant I didn’t miss my con- nection!”nection!” she tweeted, along with an emoji crying from laughterlaughter.
The delay meant she was able to make the connection to London after her earlier flight got in late.
The plane craziness came hours after star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. reportedly punched a hole in a Lambeau Field locker-room wall after the game, in which he dropped three crucial passes.
On Monday evening, Big Blue long-snapper Zak DeOssie denied there were any similar shenanigans on the plane.
“Everyone loves a good story, but no Giants ‘trashed’ our plane last night. Unless the silence of beaten championship hopes counts as damage,” he tweeted.
United spokeswoman Maddie King said the plane the Giants chartered wasn’t supposed to return to the air for four days, but was pressed into service when “there was a mechanical issue with the plane scheduled to operate Flight 934.”
