First time accepted submitter dark.nebulae writes Harrison Ford's PT-22 crash landed on a golf course in Los Angeles. From the article: "Actor Harrison Ford was hospitalized Thursday afternoon after a single-engine plane he was piloting crashed onto a Venice golf course shortly after takeoff. Just before 4:30 p.m. a family member confirmed to NBC4 that the actor is 'fine' and suffered a few gashes. Aerial footage of the minutes after the crash showed the small single-engine vintage World War II trainer plane crashed on the ground at Penmar Golf Club, and one person being treated by paramedics and being transported to a hospital. Firefighters described his injuries were described as 'moderate.'"

To me this article is the final proof that /. Is gone to the dogs. Usually /. needs days to display items. But now a sensational bit of news pops up and the editors go "ooh.. we're gong to totally cover this item. OMG OMG!"
Harrison Ford is a great action film actor but his contribution to geekiness does not warrant this reaction by /. editors.
