we were this close to losing some of
these revered and respected celebrities
actor comedian Tracy Morgan is in
critical condition after a deadly car
crash on the New Jersey Turnpike over
the weekend welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 celebrity brushes with death
and I would you know it was I was
generally late for flights you know I
had missed a lot of flights prior to
that so it wasn’t I wasn’t like it was
anything crazily out of the ordinary for
this list we’re looking at those
celebrities that came perilously close
to death it somehow pulled through to
live another day
that’s hot train so running and wearing
plastic and I just picked the hottest
day of the summer next thing I know I
sleep we’re excluding politicians though
so Ronald Reagan surviving an
assassination attempt will not be
included we’re also excluding sports
injuries overdoses and health issues so
don’t expect the likes of Clint
Malarchuk Nikki Sixx or Chevy Chase
either number 10 isla Fisher
in 2013 Fischer starred and now you see
me a caper thriller about a team of
illusionists who use their talents to
pull off improbable bank heists in the
movies opening scene Fisher’s character
is shackled and dumped into a water tank
unfortunately for Fisher her chains
tangled and she started banging on the
glass in the hopes of alerting someone
that the stunt had gone wrong but
everyone believed that she was still
acting everyone just thought I was doing
fabulous acting I thought I was being
Meryl Streep in the tank actually I was
drowning unable to reach the kill switch
isla was forced to remain calm and she
escaped without injury to set myself
free and was like number 9 Petra Nemcova
Petra Nemcova is a Czech model and
television host known for absolutely
fabulous and TLC’s a model life I wanted
you to come here because I want you to
introduce you to someone very very
special on December 26 2004 Nemcova was
in Thailand with her photographer and
fiance Simon Utley
when a tsunami resulting from the Indian
Ocean earthquake struck the country
Atlee tragically drowned but Nemcova
survived despite a broken pelvis and
internal injuries how did she do this
palm tree like this one was my my Savior
she clung to a palm tree for roughly 8
hours until rescue teams arrived to take
her to a nearby hospital talk about
survival instincts that experience was
very difficult but I’ve learned so many
amazing lessons number 8 Stephen King it
just happened bang there it was and I
woke up with my lap on sideways Stephen
King needs no introduction the horror
authors been scaring us for decades
his writing career and his life almost
came to an end on June 19 1999 when
brian edwin smith distracted by his dog
in the backseat of his van struck king
throwing him 14 feet the author was
taken to hospital where it was revealed
that he suffered from a collapsed lung
leg fractures a laceration on his scalp
and a broken hip whether he’s a good guy
or whether he’s a bad guy he’s obviously
a very bad driver although the event
temporarily convinced king to stop
writing due to the pain he suffered from
the ordeal he eventually put pen to
paper once again even incorporating his
accident into such works as his dark
tower book series the body is an amazing
thing and little by little it healed
itself and when that happened and i
started to get some energy back I wanted
to write again so I’ve been I’ve been
fortunate number 7 Dustin Hoffman do you
find me undesirable oh no mrs. Robinson
I think I think you’re the most
attractive of all my parents friends on
March 6th 1970 acting legend Dustin
Hoffman was writing the acting hi from
recent successes the graduate and
Midnight Cowboy he was living with his
wife and Byrne in Greenwich Village at
the time when a bomb built by a radical
left-wing organization known as The
Weather Underground prematurely exploded
next door credit for the capital bombing
was claimed in a letter received by The
Associated Press today signed by The
Weather Underground the blast blew a
hole into Hoffman’s living room and
through his desk into the charred
wreckage of the adjacent building
forcing him out onto the street luckily
neither dustin nor an was injured in the
explosion although it left him shaken
and his house in ruins
that was planted in my brain still
remains within the Sun
number six Jim Caviezel to me
Jim Caviezel was a rising actor starring
in movies like The Thin Red Line and The
Count of Monte Cristo before he scored
the role of Jesus in Mel Gibson’s
controversial The Passion of the Christ
unfortunately the big man upstairs
seemed not to care for this casting
choice as Jim was struck by lightning on
set everything was like sparkles read
while Caviezel wasn’t seriously hurt by
the strike eyewitnesses claimed that his
head briefly caught fire and smoke
floated from his ears immediately
following the strike we’re not
superstitious but that sure sounds like
some kind of sign you can feel it but
it’s the reaction from the you know
several hundred people who are watching
this know game number five Martin
Lawrence
and so seconds while Martin Lawrence has
seemingly dropped off the acting map
recently he was a huge comedic star in
the mid 90s and early 2000s with roles
in bad boys and Big Momma’s House among
others however in August 1999 Lawrence
went for a run in extremely humid
conditions to prepare for his role in
the latter film do my job
and suffered severe heat exhaustion as a
result because some people get intense
do you where sometimes I see people
running in like a suit that they sweat
no I don’t do that no more I did that
and I went into a coma and passed out so
please
I recommend do not rush plastics – he
was found passed out on his front lawn
wearing many layers of clothing with a
107 degree body temperature after which
he then slipped into a coma
Lawrence suffered kidney problems and
was forced to breathe using a ventilator
but he since made a full recovery
and has continued acting I heard a rumor
that because people have those bad boys
movies 1 & 2 there’s gonna be a bad boys
3 is that possible I believe so yes I
just talked to Jared
number four Seth MacFarlane Ryan are you
suggesting that 9/11 didn’t change
everything
what no I was just finished 9/11 changed
everything Brian funny man Seth
MacFarlane is one busy guy as he’s given
us Family Guy American Dad and a few
live-action comedy movies remember I was
like oh shit 9/11 I gotta get high
however if it weren’t for alcohol some
of these may never have seen the light
of day though I arrived ten minutes late
to get on the flight
exactly that was crawlin was scheduled
to be on American Airlines flight 11 the
plane that crashed into the North Tower
of the World Trade Center on 9/11
killing everyone on board I was I was
giving a lecture at my college the night
before and went out with some of the
faculty afterwards and had had a few
pints MacFarlane luckily overslept
because of his excessive partying the
night before and missed the ill-fated
flight we know he’s an atheist but Seth
should certainly feel blessed after that
what an incredible thing to realize has
just happened to the plane you should
have been on yeah yeah I mean it’s it’s
there was a you know that that wonderful
unity that we’ve since completely
abandoned
number three Tracy Morgan good evening
fellow safari planning after his stint
on Saturday Night Live and his Emmy
nomination for his acclaimed performance
on 30 rock surprises still got a shirt
oh there it goes Tracy Morgan was
travelling in a minibus when it was
tragically hit by a Walmart
tractor-trailer in 2014 the minibus was
struck from behind on the New Jersey
Turnpike killing Morgan’s friend James
McNair he was a loving man and he was a
woman scorned Morgan himself was taken
to hospital with a broken leg femur
nose and ribs he was in a coma for two
weeks and underwent extensive physical
therapy for almost a month after being
released from the hospital I got this
headaches and then nosebleeds and I
won’t even that my lady no because I
don’t know how to be worried about it he
revealed on The Today Show that he still
gets recurring headaches but he’s back
to performing like a trooper not just
playing for a minute that was real
number two Harrison Ford
the same year that Harrison Ford was
scheduled to return to the big screen as
han Solo in Star Wars The Force awakens
he was involved in an aviation accident
that nearly cost him his life you can
see the wreckage here behind me Harrison
Ford’s crumpled plane where it made that
crash landing on the golf course
on March 5th 2015 Ford was piloting his
1942 Ryan aeronautical s T 3 K R when he
encountered surprise engine failure and
was forced to make an emergency landing
on a golf course in Venice California
and that’s the last thing I remember Joe
of five days afterwards actually you
don’t remember going down he was rushed
to UCLA Medical Center in fair condition
though in actuality it was revealed that
he suffered from significant scalp
lacerations a broken pelvis and a broken
ankle
among other smaller injuries fortunately
the force is strong with this one I
remember when you were flying I was like
we’re so close to the water and then
somebody just told me that you didn’t
even have your license then before we
reveal our number-one pick
here are some honorable mentions
that’s Johnny Depp as Tonto doing his
own stunts right before I mean towards
the you know the last before the last
impact the plane was completely on fire
we were a ball of fire in the sky the
nasty knock but we got over it
number one fitty cent honestly we have
no idea how fit he survived this one
perhaps the rap gods we’re looking down
on him that day in April 2000 pity was
attacked by a gunman outside his
grandmother’s former place of residence
in South Jamaica I got out the passenger
seat of that car came around behind it
shot through the actual car the
assailant shot him nine times up close
with a nine millimeter hitting him in
the hand arm hip legs chest and even in
his cheek he was rushed to a nearby
hospital where he only spent 13 days
recovering it doesn’t hurt as much as
people imagine it hurts because of your
adrenaline and how the shock of was
actually going on he was left with a
slurred voice and had to use a walker
but after only five months fitty cent
was back to feeling like a million bucks
and then the records you get after you
got shot a completely dodgy it’s darker
