Airport surveillance footage reveals just how close Harrison Ford came last week to colliding with an airliner while he landed at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. The newly released footage shows Ford’s single-engine plane descending low over the runaway, close enough to cast a shadow over an airliner taxying with 116 people aboard. According to the Associated Press, the incident stemmed from Harrison mistakenly landing on a taxiway after being told to land on Runway 20L.
