    What "crushed" actually means:

    A spokesman for the film said: “Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII.

    "He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates.”
    Also this is a bit surreal:

    A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: “We were called to Pinewood studios at 5.05pm after reports of a 71-year-old man being injured by a garage door.”

    Heh. Sounds like a retiree getting into trouble after pressing the wrong button on the door remote.

    Rumours he may have fractured his ankle by the millennium falcon door.

    Wonder if he'll quit the film now? He's notoriously moody about even the slightest problem on set.

    I imagined a blunder in the garbage compactor. The truth is a little disappointing.

    He's old and worth a lot of money. Not really. You seen how those experts handle the stuff on the Antiques Roadshow?

    More likely just special treatment for a big star.

    Just because he fucked your sister, you let a garage door fall on him?

    A case of onset (d)roid (ga)rage, perhaps?

    Yes, believe your eyes - there are at least two terrible puns in the sentence above.

    Coincidentally, Hydraulic Door is Lucas's new nickname.

    You think shoving an injured 71 year old in a helicopter and flying him 50 odd miles when there are nearer hospitals is low risk? ;)

    Thinking about it, here's my entirely groundless hypothesis: door comes down, gets his foot, he's trapped. Ouch that hurts, noboody can get him out. Now he starts complaining of chest pain brought on by all the pain and stress.

    There's a 70 year old Han Solo having a heart attack with his injured ankle stuck in a door.

    Everbody shits themselves. Hit the panic button.

    Why are police informed? Because he's trapped. Trapped bloke with suspected cardiac complications due to trauma would easily escelate to air amulance as he may need cardiothoracics and all kind of bollocks. The emergency services probably dealt with it by sending out everyone, as per someone trapped in a car wreck. Proably fire service turned up ready to cut him out. Just so happens that the Thames valley one is based in Oxford.

    Turns out he's just got a sprained ankle and he had a bit of chest pain because he's an old bloke who got stressed and a bit a of a fanny.

    Bet you 50p.
