OFFBEAT NEWS:

Harrison Ford nearly crashes his plane:

Harrison Ford had a near miss on Monday when he almost crashed his single-engine Husky plane into a Boeing 737.

The actor, who was in a serious plane crash in 2015, had been instructed to land on runway 20-L at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.

But the 74-year-old mistakenly aimed for a taxiway, just passing over an American Airlines 737 loaded with more than 100 passengers and a six-person crew.

‘Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?’ he asked Air Control.

The Federal Aviation Administration say that controllers had given Ford clear instructions to land on the runway, as landing on a taxiway is a safety violation. They say the actor read the instructions back yet still somehow ended up aiming for the taxiway.

The American Airlines flight 1546 was still able to take off for Dallas just minutes after the incident, NBC News reports.

The FAA has now launched an investigation which could result in anything from a warning letter to Ford losing his licence.

Ford’s reps had no official comment on the incident.

Ford, a vintage plane collector, has been involved in a number of crashes over the years.

STUPID CRIMINALS:

Man accused of taking a sledge hammer to a car:

Matthew Redmond either needs to get a hobby or he’s got some serious anger issues (maybe both). The 29-year-old from Panton, Virginia reportedly threw a sledge hammer at a car. It’s unclear why exactly he chucked the tool, but either way, he’s facing aggravated assault and reckless endangerment charges regardless.

Town council apologizes for planting trees in a the middle of a playing field:

The Aberdeenshire Council in Scotland is not criminal, but they sure are stupid. Somehow, they approved the plan to plant fruit trees in the middle of a playing field. “It would seem that we were barking up the wrong tree with plans for this site,” a rep for the council says. “The intention was to turn over part of the area for biodiversity as anecdotally it was rarely used.”

Traveler from Vietnam had 22 pounds of raw animal parts:

TSA probably has their fair share of crazy stories every day, but customs agents in Texas came face to face with 22 pounds of raw animal parts. A United States permanent citizen was flying back from Vietnam with the very strange haul including meat, brains, hearts, tongues, and heads from pigs, chickens, and cows. It’s unclear if she’ll face any charges.
