Harrison Ford Relives Plane Crash Trauma on Set of 1923: ‘It Emotionally Relates to the Accident’

Nearly a decade after screen stud and real-life pilot Harrison Ford survived a harrowing plane crash in California, the Star Wars legend still suffers trauma and it resurfaced recently during filming of the Yellowstone spinoff 1923, according to costar Helen Mirren!

Harrison, 82, and Helen, 79, play Cara and Jacob Dutton in the Western drama, and in the first scene they shot, Jacob gets riddled with bullets in an ambush.

“He’s been carried into the kitchen, dying and covered in blood, and later Harrison did say to me, ‘That was how I was after the accident,'” recalls Helen.

Harrison admits that the scene gave him chills! “I watched a rehearsal with a stand-in,” he says. “Even when I talk about it now, it emotionally relates to the airplane crash I had and what my wife [Calista Flockhart] went through.”

As The National ENQUIRER reported in 2015, the Indiana Jones star was flying a 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR when the engine conked out at 3,000 feet shortly after takeoff. Harrison miraculously managed to bring the crippled aircraft into a rough landing on the eighth hole of Penmar Golf Course in Venice and suffered a broken back, ankle and pelvis and severe head lacerations. But while those injuries have healed, the trauma seems to live on – a consequence eerily predicted by a source The ENQUIRER interviewed at the time!

“This time he almost met his maker,” a close pal told us. “It’s clear that he’s going to be haunted by this crash for his remaining days!”
