TOM SON'S TERROR AT 20,000ft Mar 9 2003
From Nicola Pittam In Los Angeles
TOM Hanks' son narrowly escaped death when the private plane he was in with several other young actors lost cabin pressure.
Roswell High star Colin Hanks, 25, passed out when some of the aircraft's oxygen masks, which automatically drop from the ceiling, failed to operate at 20,000ft.
He was saved by the quick thinking of Dude, Where's My Car actor Ashton Kutcher who shook him and managed to put a mask on his face.
Kutcher, also 25, then resuscitated American TV actor Danny Masterson, 26, who had lost consciousness.
The plane, on its way from New Orleans to Los Angeles, managed an emergency landing in El Paso, Texas where all the stars were all treated. No-one was injured
Masterson's publicist revealed: "All the masks came down, but a few didn't work.
"Danny and Colin Hanks passed out but they're not dead - just a little shaken."
Dude, Where's My Oxygen?

After a hard-partying Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, all That '70s Show costars and offscreen buddies Ashton Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama and Danny Masterson were expecting was a nice, relaxing plane ride back to Tinseltown.
Boy, were they surprised: The wished-for uneventful charter flight turned into a Hollywood-style air emergency.
The actors, joined by Tom Hanks' actor son, Colin, and 7th Heaven hunks Geoff and George Stults, had spent Saturday night at a bash hosted by Girls Gone Wild producer Joe Francis.
Sources tell E! News Live that during the flight home, the guys, except for Dude, Where's My Car? star Kutcher, were all sleeping off the previous night's revelry when, unexpectedly, the cabin began rapidly losing pressure, causing potato chip bags to explode and oxygen masks to drop from the ceiling.
Kutcher tried to wake up his buddies and alert them to get their masks on, since they were running out of oxygen. Masterson, however, was out cold, and Kutcher began administering CPR on his costar. After Masterson came to, Hanks began losing consciousness.
"All the masks came down, but a few didn't work," said Masterson's publicist. "Danny and Colin Hanks passed out, but there is no blood, no foul, and they're not dead--just a little shaken."
The plane managed an emergency landing in El Paso, Texas. With no one injured, the prime-time stars eventually resumed their trip back to L.A.
"It was a moment of a lot of nervousness, but at the end our instincts were telling us to be calm and deal with what we had in front of us," Valderrama told E! "Thank God there was a happy ending."
