Ford sustained fairly extreme injuries, together with fractures to his pelvis, ankle, and again, in addition to a head laceration. Talking on Jimmy Kemmel Reside!, Ford stated of the traumatic occasion, “I keep in mind the engine stopping; I keep in mind that half very properly. After which I keep in mind the tower; I keep in mind their suggestion. Their suggestion was that I take the conventional path to land, and I knew I wasn’t going to do this, so I stated, ‘no.’ And that is the very last thing that I keep in mind till 5 days afterwards, truly.”
The NTSB later decided the engine failure was as a result of a free/worn carburetor metering jet, which precipitated a fuel-air imbalance and energy loss.
