Late Thursday afternoon, Harrison Ford’s plane went down over Penmar Golf Club in Venice, CA in his vintage World War II era training plane.

The Los Angeles Fire Department reported him as alert and conscious, in fair to moderate condition, and taken to an area hospital for further treatment.

Within minutes of the crash, there were multiple social media reports with conflicting information regarding Harrison’s status.  We think that his (usual) co-pilot Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) summed it up best:

It’s been a rough week for science fiction fans, for sure, with this news coinciding with the painful loss of Leonard Nimoy. We’re glad to hear that it seems Ford was not seriously injured.

Feel better, Han. We love you (and you know).
