Harrison Ford's Plane Crashes On Golf Course

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.'"

    He said he could fly a plane but not land one.

    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.

    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."
