Ford is okay, but not his plane

Actor Harrison Ford has been injured in a small plane crash in Los Angeles, California. The 72-year-old star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films reported engine failure and crash-landed his vintage plane on a golf course in Venice, California.
He was breathing and alert when the paramedics arrived; they transported him to a local hospital in a "fair to moderate" condition, a fire department spokesman said.
His son Ben, a chef in Los Angeles, later tweeted from the hospital: "Dad is okay. Battered but okay!" His publicist said: "The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery,"
The nature of Ford's injuries have not been disclosed, but the website TMZ, which first reported the story, said he suffered "multiple gashes to his head".
Shortly after take-off from the nearby Santa Monica Airport, Ford said he was having engine failure with his 1942 Ryan Aeronautical (photo, top) and was making an "immediate return".
He was unable to reach the runway, and landed on the Penmar Golf Course (photo, bottom), where onlookers pulled him from the plane, fearing it could explode.
