C)"But the 74-year-old mistakenly aimed for a taxiway, just passing over an American Airlines 737 loaded with more than 100 passengers and a six-person crew." - Shows the severity of the incident and the potential impact it could have had, this is also reinforced by the quote stating the consequences of his actions as seen in the line "The FAA has now launched an investigation which could result in anything from a warning letter to Ford losing his licence". The article is also seen to inform the reader of previous alterations the hollywood star has faced as represented in the brief synopsis towards the latter of the article.












D)Throughout the article it is seen to be in a light hearted manner and tone as the news story is not overly serious. This can be infered from the quotations of Harrison Ford himself, for exapmle it is stated he said 'Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?'.

G) Within the article a variety of techniques have been used. Throughout the whole piece it could be percieved that some of the statements are hyperbolic as they portray the incident to be a near catostrophic accident without giving little information with regards to how the incident happened or details on how close the collision was. This is likely to be used to create a more dramtic article and thefore intrigue a larger audiance. Furthermore, within the title the bold caps phrase 'AGAIN' reinforces this and foreshadows the content of the article as it later describes his previous crashes.

I)



Who - Harrison Ford
What - Near miss landing with commercial airliner
Where - John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.
When - 13th February 2017
Why - Harrison Ford mistakenly landed on a taxi way instead of the intended runway.

Paragraphing


Within the article there is little use of paragraphing throughout as the majority of the text is organised by simple facts and statements in compound to complex sentences. This form of restricted coding allows for the piece to be understood easier by the audience opposed to if elaborate coding was used which often features more developed language and paragraphing and is ultimately seen in broadsheet articles such as the Guardian.

Within the first sentences/ paragraphs it is evidently portrayed the circumstances of the near miss and includes the basic details of what happened and who was involved. Later on in the article these ideas and point or developed in greater detail with support from pictures and references.

On the contrary, in the later parts of the article developed paragraphs are seen which feature quotes to support points in addition to official voices and statements.

Furthermore, it is also seen to quote and divulge into the details of his previous incidents relating to the article in addition to a brief overview of his life story.

Sentencing
Simple sentence: "Ford's reps had no official comment on the incident." Direct and informative to give facts and stats.
Compound sentence: "With his need for speed, Ford collects vintage cars" Develops the original simple sentence.
Complex sentence: "In 1999, Ford was flying his helicopter along the Lake Piru riverbed, north-east of Los Angeles, when it went down in a hard landing during a training session." Greater detail with

Within the initial paragraphs simple sentences are seen as they quickly and easily inform the reader of the key information. However, in the later paragraphs compound and complex sentences are more prevalent throughout.
