Watch Harrison Ford Nearly Crash His Plane Into an American Airlines 737
It might be time for Harrison Ford to hang up his pilot goggles and gloves (that’s what they wear, right?).
Last Monday, the 74-year-old actor mistakenly landed his single-engine plane on a taxiway rather than a runway — a violation of Federal Aviation Administration safety rules — and narrowly avoided contact with an American Airlines 737 with over 100 passengers onboard.
This is only the latest accident of the aviation variety for Ford, who seems to have a penchant for scaring the shit out of anyone who decides to take him up on that offer for a free ride. In 2015, he crashed his plane on the Penmar Golf Course in Venice, California, breaking his pelvis and ankle. In 2000, he crashed a six-passenger plane in Lincoln, Nebraska. The previous year Ford managed to flip a helicopter onto its side after a particularly hard landing.
If life truly imitates art, then we were warned about Ford being bad luck on planes way back in 1997. We just didn’t listen.
