Harrison Ford: Man, Movie Star, Hero

Ford Crashes

Ford himself doesn’t remember the actual plane crash of 2015, which is probably better. The traumatic accident involved his Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR – a restored World War II-era trainer. The crash occurred just shortly after Ford took off in his vintage plane, flying over Santa Monica. It was later determined that a loose engine part caused the nightmare, (and an inappropriately worn harness contributed to the severity of injury) which ended with Ford and the plane making a hard crash into an open park area. Ford was critically injured with a large scalp laceration and broken bones, and remained hospitalized for a month during his recovery. As soon as he recovered, he immediately jumped back in a plane!
