laid him down. >> he is said to have suffered a few gashes and injuries on the head but he was alert when he was taken to the hospital and the hospital sources are telling nbc news he's been in surgery but is expected to recovery fully. his son tweeted dad is okay. battered but okay. of course harrison ford rose to prominence at the helm of the star wars but friends say he's been an ace pilot for a long time and even first responders acknowledged it would take an experienced flier to have been able to make that landing. it's not the first rough landing the action star has survived. he's also a helicopter pilot. in 1999 the chapter he was in was forced to make a forced landing. he talked about that incident on inside the actor's studio. >> i understand you own some airplanes. what do you have? >> i have a husky.

veered off the runway on thursday. the plane slammed but a chain link crash and crashed into an embankment. it came to a stop feet away from and icy bay. officials say the runway was plowed minutes before the pilots reported positive conditions for landing but it didn't work out so well for this flight. passengers were quickly evacuated onto to runway. they used an inflated commute and adding to concerns they noticed the plane was leaking a gallon of fuel just minutes after the crash and you're looking at the photos from passengers. larry donald they showed the scene right after the landing. 28 people were hurt. luckily none of these injuries are considered serious. >> it was skiing. we landed. it started skiing and it hit the side of the rail and it went 400 yards. it came to a halt and we all

went forward. >> it was like in a state of shock. people were like what's going on? what's really going on? >> everybody had our seat belts on and it wasn't really that bad, but it was pretty scary and i'm thankful we didn't go to the water. >> the snow storm that caused that accident and the snow storm that hit us here in new york city have affected people all across america, and it was in kentucky that there was a nightmarish day on the roads. at one point there was actually a 40 -mile backup on i-65. some drivers said thursday afternoon that they had actually been stuck in the same spot since 8:00 p.m. the night before. nbc reports on the epic traffic jam that tied things up horribly south of louisville. >> reporter: it's really been scary. >> this woman was one of the hundreds of drivers stranded for more than 15 hours in northern

rams held their hands up the weekend after, but attorney general eric holder said earlier this week it's an alternate version of events and asked how such a strong turn of events because accepted so ready and turned. some police groups feel vindicated and they should. others still assert that brown was trying to surrender when he was shot even though there's no evidence of that. but the overall message, of course from the department of justice in the wake of brown's death was the dramatic need for reform in the city's police department. also on the front page iran is a likely ally. an unlikely ally. ron iran appears to be gaining a lot of influence in iraq as the country tries to regain power of towns that were seized by isis.
