4 Times Harrison Ford Cheated Death (And 4 Times He Was A Hero)

7. A Wind Shear Blow Ford's Plane Off The Runway

A year later, in 2000, Ford was again involved in a hard landing - this time as the result of strong winds, or more accurately, what's known as a wind shear, where a strong wind blows across in a different direction from the norm in a given area. These take place in relatively small areas and are hard to predict, which is no doubt what forced Ford into making an unexpected emergency landing of his six-passenger Beech Bonanza in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2000. In essence, Ford's plane was blown off the runway by the wind shear. Luckily, once again, no one was injured. Ford would later state that "To simply say that a wind gust had blown me off the runway is to misunderstand the techniques of landing."
