Harrison Ford Expected to Make Full Recovery after Plane Crash in Los Angeles
Harrison Ford expected to make full recovery after plane crash in Los Angeles – A federal investigator said on Friday that actor Harrison Ford was piloting a World War Two vintage plane that had been restored to a high standard when he crash landed at a Los Angeles golf course after reporting an engine failure.
Officials said that moments after Ford took off in his 1942 single-engine plane on Thursday from Santa Monica Airport, he attempted a return landing, clipped a tree and crash landed at nearby Penmar Golf Course, short of the intended runway.
National Transportation Safety Board investigator Patrick Jones indicated, without mentioning Ford by name, that federal investigators have not yet spoken to the actor, an experienced aviator who was hospitalized following the crash. Prior to the crash, Ford described a problem with his plane to air traffic controllers on Thursday in a brief recording later released to the media.
