Being avid pilots I have him and John Travolta on my death poll list.

So close…

Anderson Cooper just said that’s he’s been in a number of small airplanes, and he just doesn’t see what the enjoyment is for the pilot.

WTFO???

Dude. You’re in an AIRPLANE! And you’re FLYING! In the AIR!

Oh dear, I seem to have crashed my plane on your golf course. Might one of you doctors lend me a hand?

Harrison, if you read this, we love you & want you to get better.  
You can’t see sunsets in a hospital bed & its no fun hugging who you love with tubes in your arms.

Get better soon, chief!

It looks like he pulled off a very impressive emergency landing. There isn’t much space to work with because he was right in the middle of a residential community. The golf course was a lucky feature but still not that big in that area and has plenty of trees and a fence that have to be dealt with. It also sounds like his injuries aren’t very serious either. It is a shame that a beautiful plane got mostly destroyed but it could have easily been much worse. I hope he heals up very quickly.

I’m sure he’ll get some top men to work on it.
