Harrison Ford met an unfortunate plane crash but managed to walk away from the wreckage. That was quite impressive, although we've come to understand the actor was not completely in the right state of mind but he came through quickly.

Sanjay Khurana, one of the first responders who is also a surgeon, saw everything that took place that day. Khurana was playing golf when he saw several golfers pointing toward the sky. To his surprise, it was a single-engine plane heading toward the golf course.

After it crash-landed, he ran toward it, only to find Ford slumped over and gas leaking from the wreckage. Ford's face and other parts of his body were covered with blood, but that did not stop Khurana and the other first responders in their bid to help.

Khurana stabilized Ford's neck before removing him from the plane. The first words Harrison Ford uttered was: "Where am I?" It didn't take long for him to regain his senses and walked away.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated that Ford left the Santa Monica Airport at around 2:20 p.m. but after just a few minutes into the flight, the plane began to bring forth problems. Ford then attempted to return to the airport but had to crash-land the vintage aircraft to save his life and potentially countless others on the ground.

"Any time a human being can survive an accident involving an airplane or any type of mechanical device is a good day," said Patrick Jones, an investigator with the NTSB.

Many individuals are viewing this as a miracle because usually a plane crash tends to turn out deadly. This time, however, it was not yet the time for Ford to pass on, and the geek world is very much happy about that.

After the death of Leonard Nimoy, we're not sure if geeks could handle another of their own passing on so early.

Injuries faced by the 72-year-old actor are not life-threatening, so he shouldn't be in the hospital for too long. We expect him to be out and about, along with being ready to help promote the Star Wars movie.
