Actor Harrison Ford recovering from plane crash
Posted: March 6th, 2015, 10:24 am
Actor and avid pilot Harrison Ford is recovering from injuries suffered when he landed his vintage WWII plane on the Penmar golf course in Santa Monica yesterday afternoon. Shortly after taking off from the Santa Monica airport, Ford radioed the tower that he had lost an engine and was returning to the airport.
Once he realized he couldn't make it back to the airport in time, Ford had to decide quickly whether to land on the freeway or the golf course. He chose the golf course. It was a bumpy landing due to clipping a couple of trees but doctors who were on the greens responded to the crash until other medical personnel arrived.
Ford is expected to make a full recovery.
