Harrison Ford seriously injured in plane crash

Actor Harrison Ford was seriously injured Thursday when a vintage World War II training plane he was piloting crash landed on a Mar Vista, California, golf course.

The actor was stabilized and taken to a local hospital. Sources said he sustained cuts to head. There was no word on other injuries or what caused the plane to crash. It appeared he was flying solo.

His injuries were originally described as "critical," but sources emphasized they are better characterized as serious, including lacerations to the head and possible fractures.

Howard Tabe, an employee at the Penmar Golf Course, said 'There was blood all over his face ... Two very fine doctors were treating him, taking good care of him. I helped put a blanket under his hip."

The plane crashed on the golf course just west of the airport shortly after takeoff from the Santa Monica Airport, according to Ian Gregor of the Federal Aviation Administration, NBC Los Angeles reported.

Hope he recovers fully.


Wonder if he was training for an upcoming role or was this a leisurely activities?

And before you say "well, what do you expect, flying in that old piece of Junk", let me tell that it's the plane that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.

Thank goodness Captain Solo is okay. I wonder if he said, "Don't worry...she'll hold together! Here me, Baby? Hold together!"

Make it so, Number One...

Saw this on the news on tv. His son tweeted that his father is ok. How lucky can you be when there are doctors playing golf.

No, that is being CGI-ed to death. This is an actual accident.

Looking at that plane he's lucky.

Every time I see this thread now I hear Indiana Jones theme music.

First of all glad to hear he is going to be fine, however now people are calling him a "Hero" for not crashing into homes and saving lives. No that is not being a hero, he's doing what he is supposed to do. Yeah if your plane is going down you are looking for a safe place to land because you don't want to die. Hey call the rest of us heros for not flying old WW2 planes and putting the community in danger.

Fans posted a series of memes after reports emerged that Harrison Ford is expected to make a full recovery after a plane crash. Star Wars fans led the charge, altering the scene to include Han Solo's Millennium Falcon

yeah I agree. He showed SKILLS but not heroism as that WAS the best and safest place for HIMSELF to land. Being a hero would mean he put himself at additbal risk to protect other lives.
