Harrison Ford was involved in a single-engine plane crash in Los Angeles, according to reports and a witness at the scene.
The 72-year-old actor was reportedly flying over the Penmar Golf Course near the Santa Monica airport Thursday when his yellow, vintage aircraft crash-landed into a green.
The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that a single male occupant was critically injured in a crash at the Venice course. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment, they said.
TMZ reported that Ford suffered multiple gashes to his head and was bleeding.
The plane appeared to be a Ryan PT-22 Recruit which was used for training during World War II. It appeared mostly intact.

One thing I've learned from this,, if your gonna crash, a golf course is the place, it will get you doctors care almost immediately !
Best wishes to a speedy recovery!
-
He's not in critical condition. Apparently he walked away from the crash with some head lacs and was reported to be in serious condition.
-
His condition is now stable and it appears he will recover. No word on lost perk points.
BTW anyone recognize the vintage bird he was flying?

But you will have bills from 10 doctors with 10 different diagnoses, all for about $5k each

That is so Mr Burns.
-
The airplane is a Ryan PT-22.

Who does he think he is, Howard Hughes?
-
Who does he think he is, Han Solo?
Fixed!

Lmfao! You sir just made my day!
-
That's at least a 40eny bird so no lost perkies
Glad he's ok, he's got 8 other planes to get him thru till this one is restored
-
Yeah but he dropped an LA and a couple of 262's before he ditched it though.
-
Anyone see the video of it? I did and I walked away with even more respect for him. I'll let you watch it and see what you think.

There's a whole slew of hilariously bad photoshops... The three that stand out the most are one with han solo standing in the foreground obviously having just shot it down, another one where the millennium falcon has been put in place of the crashed plane, and the best one shows the medical crews carrying him away encased in the carbonite block.
I'm sure there are others but those struck me as super funnay.
edit - here is one, if it will embed...

This incident will likely result in the closure of Santa Monica, which has been barely resisting the efforts to close it for a very long time. Not Mr. Ford's fault though, but just another nail in the coffin.

An emergency landing after an engine failure on low alt. He did a terrific job in putting the plane down.
According to the NTSB the engine died after being hit by fire from an P-51 that HO:ed him and then ran away.

A Ryan making a forced landing onto a golf course is going to close Santa Monica....? You make me laugh sometimes.

I saw the video of the plane filmed from the golf course. I wouldn't exactly say it was at "low alt". The plane is basically just a dot in the video, and you can see it making a turn. They said he was cruising at 3000 feet and had been airborne for 20 minutes when his engine quit.

The greens keeper must be pissed!
Ye done ruined ma fairway...a plate of steaming gopher guts be on you!
-
Conflicting news about his condition. On the first news they say he's fine and just a couple of bruises and cuts, on the other news Calista has been racing to the hospital and back crying.
-
He was semi-conscious when pulled from the aircraft, according to an interview I saw. It was reported today that he has had multiple surgeries to repair a broken ankle and broken pelvis.

Perspective.
I've had engines quit at alts from 50' to 10000' and each and every time I wished I was higher. :D

For a man in his age these surgeries are certainly life threatening.

Pocket change for him .

Rich numpties have been trying to get it shut down for years. Makes perfect sense to buy a house near an airport then complain the airport is there. FAA lease runs out in a few months (July 2015). Going to be interesting once that happens.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if they pull a Meigs 2.0 so some developer can build a couple thousand micro apartments with 3k/mo rent.
