Harrison Ford, who nearly ditched a plane with a hundred people on board, will not be punished. The Federal Aviation Administration decided not to apply sanctions against the actor.
Failure in the air
The indiscretion of Harrison Ford, who is not only a cult saga of Star Wars, is a dashing pilot, could end in tragedy.
In February, at the John Uzjin Airport near Los Angeles, the actor, who was sitting at the helm of Aviat Husky, landed on the wrong lane, which the dispatcher indicated. Ford's single-engine aircraft flew dangerously close to a 110-passenger liner that was preparing to take off.
In an emotional conversation on the radio, Harrison admitted his mistake. The Federal Aviation Administration launched an investigation into the incident, in which, fortunately, no one was hurt.
Without sanctions
Surprisingly, 74-year-old Ford, who could have lost the license of a pilot, who owns more than 20 years, got off with a slight fright. As the media informed the celebrity lawyer Stephen Hofer, the officials decided not to subject his client to administrative or other punishment. The investigators closed the case, taking into account the experience of the aviator-enthusiast, his willingness to cooperate and frankness during the investigation.
The representative of the department, in response to a request from journalists to argue the decision, declined to comment, saying that they did not give a public assessment of the actions of a particular pilot.
