Harrison Ford reported fair after plane crash (http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/harrison-ford-injured-plane-crash)
03/05/15 06:41 PM
By Andrew Blankstein and Hasani Gittens

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

The actor, who was conscious and breathing when rescue crews reached him, was stabilized and taken to a hospital, where he was in fair to moderate condition, authorities said. Sources said he sustained cuts to his head. There was no word on other injuries or what caused the plane to crash. It appeared he was flying solo.

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.

An avid flyer of both planes and helicopters, Ford was in a bad crash of a Bell chopper in 1999 Santa Clara, California. In 2008, he told National Geographic, “Well, there was a mechanical failure while we were practicing power recovery autorotations. It was more or less a hard landing. Luckily, I was with another aviation professional and neither of us was hurt — and both of us are still flying.”

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending an investigator.

Must have been a hydraulic issue perhaps the steering and such was hydraulically actuated instead of cables maybe partial cables controlled by hydraulics just don't know.

So, hydraulic failure and non separate systems for the steering and landing gear may explain why the landing gear is still up,He may have lost lets say 60% of his ability to control elevation and pitch and stuff and ditched after take off something snapped after take off and he was just able to get it down and level but landing gear completely failed.

Look, I love Harrison Ford and Han and Indy and all that shit. But I love the way the media is spinning this into what a great guy he is and pinning a medal on him for crashing into a field rather than the local Taco Bell. Like no shit! You think that wasn't a bit better for him though?

Yeah some of the reporting seems to dumb although that's not his fault.

Rich old guy fucking around with old plane for a laugh and it fails so he crashes it isn't that good a narrative. Shitty news needs hero or villain so they are going for hero.

Personally I think if people are going to crash planes it's difficult to think of a better place than golf courses... :)

However, I was coming from the idea of how he would explain the crash at his DWI excuse me, FWI hearing.

I wonder if the cops at the scene made him submit to a breathalyzer before they provided him with emergency medical care....you know like they do everyone else in the world involved in a fender bender...lol.
