March 6, 201511 yr Moderator As the headline says, Harrison Ford crashed into the Penmar Golf Course. He had just taken off from Santa Monica in his Ryan PT22 and experienced some sort of failure and had asked to return to the airport. CNN press conference from the hospital lists Harrison in "Fair to Moderate condition." http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/harrison-ford-injured-plane-crash-n318301 http://www.tmz.com/2015/03/05/harrison-ford-plane-crash-landing-golf-course-santa-monica/ Fr.

March 6, 201511 yr You beat me Bill by 3 tenths of one second and I removed my topic. Hopefully he will be okay. Can't believe the massive press conference going on right now.

March 6, 201511 yr Author Moderator Jim, probably it's because I "listen" to CNN all day long. When something "catches my ear" I quickly stroll into the living room to see as well as hear. I suppose the intense media circus er, coverage is because he's kinda famous I think... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
March 6, 201511 yr Author Moderator Haha, the 2 phrases "cnn" and "media circus" always go together. Perhaps so, but the coverage on Fox and MSNBC isn't any less for all of that being possibly true! :Whistle: Fr.

March 6, 201511 yr He's Indiana Jones. He's Han Solo (Both then and now) He's the Fugitive. He's the President from Air Force one. He's The Blade Runner. He's a part of peoples lives, for some of us, our entire lives; an honorary family member/friend. Something unfortunate and unusual like this happens to him, and the whole world (not just America) is going to notice and want to know all about it. (Nods) We are all connected.....

March 6, 201511 yr He's a part of peoples lives, for some of us, our entire lives; an honorary family member/friend. Indiana Jones - best action / adventure movies ever. Don't forget, "Cowboys and Aliens", a fairly good movie and cast. I just got home and saw this on Fox News. It sounds like people are confident he'll survive and that he did everything a pilot could have done including finding a spot where civilians were not endangered. It didn't turn out as good as it might have, but at least it didn't end up as bad as it could have. Regards to all,
March 6, 201511 yr According to his sons Tweets he is fine: https://twitter.com/ChefBenFord/status/573649772583591937 It would take a lot more then a Plane Crash to injure the man......He is AWESOME Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
March 6, 201511 yr According to his sons Tweets he is fine: Great to read that, thanks for sharing. Regards,
March 6, 201511 yr Don't forget, "Cowboys and Aliens", a fairly good movie and cast. He did a great job, there and perfect casting. His presence probably saved that whole movie from total obscurity.

March 6, 201511 yr We've just had a hospital employee here in Germany, killed by helicopter rotor blades on his hospital's landing pad. Guess he'll be off the front pages much quicker than 'Indiana Jones'. I hope Harrison Ford will recover soon and my condolences go to the German employee's family. What happened to AVSIM
March 6, 201511 yr Harrison Ford vs Chuck Norris I'm going with Harrison Ford because I don't recall Chuck Norris surviving any plane crash....Tough as nails Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
March 6, 201511 yr Harrison Ford vs Chuck Norris I'm going with Harrison Ford because I don't recall Chuck Norris surviving any plane crash....Tough as nails Thats because if Earth saw Chuck norris coming at it in a plane.... It would run. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

March 6, 201511 yr Thats because if Earth saw Chuck norris coming at it in a plane.... It would run. I'm still going with Ford though B) Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
March 6, 201511 yr I wish him a most speedy, and full recovery. Engine failure...after taking off, and at low altitude...must put your heart into your mouth. So sorry to read of this... Ses
