Harrison Ford Sustains "Serious" Injuries in Crash Landing

Tools    





Per TMZ:

A small plane piloted by Harrison Ford has crash-landed at an L.A. golf course ... but we're told the actor has survived.

TMZ has learned ... Ford was piloting what appears to be a vintage 2-seater fighter plane Thursday ... when something went wrong and he crashed into Penmar golf course in Venice, CA.

We're told Ford suffered multiple gashes to his head and was bleeding. Two doctors who happened to be at the golf course rushed over to treat the actor.

Emergency personnel arrived to the scene a short time later. Ford was transported to a nearby hospital.

72-year-old Ford is a longtime aviator -- piloting planes and helicopters -- and has crashed multiple times in the past.
Hopefully "serious" doesn't mean the same thing as "critical." Though at 72 I suppose any significant injury (and any resulting complication) has that potential. Here's hoping he's okay.

Are you kidding? He made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. He'll be fine.
He also survived a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge, so this is nothing



Dude is lucky to be alive.
Thank God his wife, Calista Flockhart, wasn't aboard the plane. There's no way that twig would have survived.



Seeing the footage of this did remind me of just how small those old fighter planes were. I remember the first time I saw a Spitfire up close I thought it was a scale model. Even to a kid it looked small. The thought of flying these things at hundreds of miles an hour, thousands of feet up, while others are shooting machine guns at your wood and canvas aircraft. Terrifying

A parsec is a measure of distance, not time.
