Harrison Ford's Plane Crashes On Golf Course

Posted by samzenpus on from the kessel-run-practice dept.

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.'"

    Flying a PT-22 ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through the walk of fame, or bounce off a golf club and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it.

      Most golfers chase their little balls with little sticks over the greens of a Golf Course, but Harrison Ford had the balls to make a hole in one.

    Just before the crash, Sean Connory popped up in the back seat and tapped Ford on the shoulder, pointing to the tail and saying "Sorry, they got us".

    Rumor has it that shortly before the crash, his chinese copilot jumped out of the plane with only a parachute after saying "goodbye dr jones, muahahaha."
