Yikes!


A woman has died and a man has been injured after actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a New Mexico film set for the 19th Century western Rust.
Halyna Hutchins, 42, was shot while working on the set as director of photography. She was flown to hospital by helicopter but died of her injuries.
The man, 48-year-old director Joel Souza, was taken from the scene at Bonanza Creek Ranch by ambulance.
Police said they were investigating and that no charges had been filed
 
"43 fatalities on American film sets since 1990". Thought it sounded a lot when I first read it but when you think about the stuff they do, it's probably not, i.e. stuntmen/women and whatnot.
 
Really sad all round , the props guy will get the boot , rightly so , this should never happen , totally avoidable

Someone must be accountable for bringing a loaded gun on to a film set. Supposed to be firing blanks apparently. How on earth does an accident like this happen.
