    The Post story makes it sound less like a ski accident and more like she fell ill while at a ski slope. Sad.

    Story makes it sounds like she had a routine fall but and appeared OK but must have had some brain injury or maybe dislodged a clot or something.

    It must have been a pretty good fall if they brought her down the mountain and suggested she see a doctor. People fall all the time.

    Wasn't Neeson's character in "Love Actually" a widower?
    Life is not supposed to imitate art this way.

    Damn...
    Doesn't sound like a bad accident, but hit something the wrong way and it triggers something else...

    And, hard to remember, a brilliant and innocent Lindsay Lohan.

    Left Montreal in a private jet

    http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/603508

    A Toronto Star reporter was the only media representative to watch as Richardson, lying heavily-wrapped in blankets in an intensive-care bed, tubes covering her face, was loaded into a yellow ambulance at the hospital.

    Neeson was already crouched down inside the back of the ambulance watching as she was loaded. He looked extremely worried.

    Re: Natasha Richardson in serious accident

    I grew up skiing. I worked as a junior ski patrol in high school and would spend almost all of my Christmas and spring breaks on the slopes.

    I don't want my kids anywhere near the slopes. Never mind the cost, but it is just insane the number of people who have died or been very badly injured in recent years.

    A close friend of mine, lost his brother in a skiing accident about 10 years ago. This was a guy who could ski as well as anyone.
