And staying in the U.S.
One of Hollywood's most famous actors, Harrison Ford, was injured in a plane crash in California.
Authorities said the incident occurred Thursday afternoon... as Ford was flying a World War II vintage plane.
Shortly after taking off from Santa Monica Airport,... Ford reported to air traffic control... of a complete engine failure.
He was then forced to make an emergency landing on an active golf course,... after which the 72-year-old was able to walk away from.
A full investigation is underway to determine the cause of the accident.


"Our process is kind of a slow process, and I'm sure that there are going to be some questions about what caused this- and what's that- and if we've solved it. At this point in time it is the very beginning of the investigation. It takes us a long time because we want to get it right

A statement released by Ford's publicist said he was still receiving treatment in hospital... but reassured that his injuries were not life-threatening.
Doctors expect him to make a full recovery..
