Hollywood mogul Ryan Kavanaugh witnessed the crash of Harrison Ford’s World War Two vintage plane on Thursday and said that without the actor’s skillful piloting, Ford would have died.
“He had a five-second decision to make,” Kavanaugh told TheWrap in an exclusive interview. “As the pilot, when an engine goes out it’s pure instinct.
“You train for this stuff. But 99 percent of pilots don’t go through it. And 99 percent of pilots in this situation would have ended up crashing the plane.”
Kavanaugh flies a helicopter and maintains an office at the Santa Monica Airport — where Ford’s aircraft departed moments before crashing.
