Leonardo DiCaprio is back in the skies after a mid-air scare when his Moscow bound plane had to make an emergency landing in New York City. 

DiCaprio isn’t the first celebrity to face a near-accident, and some celebrities have survived much worse.

Mark Wahlberg and Seth McFarlane narrowly missed being on hijacked planes on 9/11.

Morgan Freeman and Kayne West survived devastating car wrecks.

Gary Busey lived through a high speed motorcycle accident without a helmet.

Brooke Burns suffered a near-death spinal injury.

Cheryl Cole caught malaria.

And who can forget 50 Cent’s nine gun shot wounds?

Good thing some of our favorite celebrities were able to live to tell the tales.
