\"Billy<\/a><\/p>\n

What the hell is going on here?!<\/p>\n

First Ed McMahon<\/a>. Then Farah Fawcett<\/a>. Then Michael Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now Billy Mays is gone<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old known for his shouting OxiClean ads was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. The Hillsborough County medical examiner will perform an autopsy, Tampa police Lt. Brian Dugan said.<\/p>\n

Mays was on the US Airways flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Tampa on Saturday that had a hard landing at Tampa International Airport when the plane’s front tire blew out. There were no reported injuries on Flight 1241, US Airways told CNN.<\/p>\n

According to a local Tampa TV station, Mays said: “All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Damn you US Airways! <\/p>\n

Who’s going to sell me cheap useless trinkets on late night TV, with overexaggerated hand gestures<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

What’s going to happen to one of my favorite reality TV shows<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Why couldn’t it have been this guy<\/a>?!<\/p>\n
