Dear Harrison Ford: Please Stop Flying Planes. Thanks.

Dear Harrison Ford,

First of all, we're really glad you're okay. We heard about your little "incident" at the John Wayne Airport in Orange County today. Yes, the one where, instead of landing on runway 20L as you were instructed by Air Traffic Control, you landed on a parallel taxiway, flying just over a Boeing 747 containing more than 100 passengers. You made it safely, and no one was hurt, and that's what really matters.

But can we talk about this reckless behavior involving personal airplanes? In 2015, you were forced to make an emergency landing on a golf course, breaking an arm and receiving "minor head injuries" in the process. We understand it was due to mechanical failure, and totally not your fault, but the same can't be said of today's incident. Are you acting out, Harrison? Seeking attention? Most people get this out of their systems earlier in life. Why can't you just start wearing black clothes and become sullen and distant like a normal teenager?

All of us love you, you know. We know we don't say it enough, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Look, we don't know if it's, like, a Final Destination type of thing, or what, but clearly it is bad luck for you to go flying around in planes. Someone is trying to tell you something, man. Aren't there less dangerous hobbies you can take up? Comic book collecting is nice. Knitting? We hear blogging snarkily about entertainment news requires almost no effort, and you never have to leave your chair!

Just be safe, is what we're trying to say. Maybe get one of those VR systems and a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Bleeding Cool
