Actor Harrison Ford plane survives plane crash in LA (See Photos)
He's not just a hero in his action films, he's one in real life. Actor Harrison Ford, 72, saved his life and that of others yesterday. He was flying a small vintage plane in Venice, California on Thursday afternoon when the engine failed. He managed to fly to plane to Penmar golf course and made a crash landing there to avoid human casualty. He was the only person in the plane at the time of the crash.
The experienced pilot, who has been flying since the 60s, sustained head wounds and bled profusely. He was transported to the UCLA trauma centre where he's currently receiving treatment for injuries he sustained from the crash. His son, Ben Ford later tweeted to fans to assure them that his dad is ok
"At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man.'
The fact that he escaped the crash with just a few injuries is not surprising to those who have flown with him. They say he's a great pilot. See photos from the crash after the cut..

Narrating her ordeal to Sun News, Onyeka said;
“On the fateful day, my husband traveled out of Lagos, leaving me, my children, house-help and our security guard. I went to work and returned late at night. When I drove into our compound, I did not expect that armed robbers were at our security post. We have a dog but it did not bark. Immediately, I alighted from my car and entered my room, two men armed with knife and cutlass pounced on me and warned that I must co-operate with them as two others armed with guns were keeping watch at our gate. They pushed me down, tied my hands and legs with rope.
