How could such terrible 'mistakes' like this happen.
Why wasn't the gun checked before use , where was the health and safety tests??!. Last edited by GoldHeart; 22-10-2021 at 05:46 AM. |

It's more than a tragic error when it's cost someone their life , it's dodgy aswell . How would they not make sure the gun is working properly first??.
I also found it hard to believe Brandon Lee's death was a complete accident ,when the very same thing happened to him aswell. Unless these movie crews are just hiring complete sloppy idiots behind the scenes ??? ,with zero safety checks ?. I guess these directors and crew only care about filming and nothing else, yet ironically they were probably taking Covid precautions . |

Of course it’s not good. Is that the extent of your sympathy?

[A woman has died and a man has been injured after
actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a New Mexico film set. Police in the US state said Mr Baldwin discharged the weapon during filming for the 19th Century western Rust. The woman was taken to hospital but died of her injuries. The man, the film's director, was receiving emergency care. A spokesperson for Mr Baldwin told AP news agency the incident involved the misfiring of a prop gun with blanks. The woman has been named as Halyna Hutchins, 42, who was working as director of photography. The man being treated is Joel Souza, 48, the film's director. Police are still investigating the incident at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a popular filming location, and no charges have been filed. In a statement to AFP news agency, a Santa Fe sheriff spokesman said Mr Baldwin had spoken with detectives. "He came in voluntarily and he left the building after he finished his interviews," the spokesperson said. According to her personal website, Ms Hutchins was from Ukraine and grew up on a Soviet military base in the Arctic Circle. She studied journalism in Kyiv, and film in Los Angeles, and was named a "rising star" by the American Cinematographer magazine in 2019.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59005500 https://news.sky.com/story/woman-die...m-set-12440839 Last edited by arista; 22-10-2021 at 05:51 AM. |

With the protocols put in place after the Brandon Lee tragedy, this should never have happened. Somebody did wrong.

You would think they'd learn from Brandon Lee's death , in this day and age who doesn't make sure something is safe before use ??? , and with or without cutbacks it's no excuse really ,not when it's something that important and risky.
This is negligence at its worst. And when it's cost someone their life and badly injured another person, things need to be taken seriously and have to change. |

POW! BLAM!

I can understand someone dicking around and pretending to shoot someone on set. I can't understand why real bullets were even present?!

I dont understand why they use real guns and why they are even loaded as special effects today are amazing and a shot could easily be faked ,they are actors afterall.

I don't entirely understand why there would be live ammo on set at all though - I assume maybe for other scenes where the set/props are shot with live bullets; perhaps that's the change in rules that's needed though. You can't accidentally load live rounds if there are strictly NO live rounds anywhere on set. |

Blanks can kill if there is debris in the gun, e.g. a stone lodged in the barrel will fire out like a bullet if a blank round is fired. A blank is just a regular round without the projectile (the bullet), so add any projectile to the mix… and that blank is effectively live.
So could have been that, if not an error made when loading the gun. The other possibility of course is deliberate sabotage. |

Who put real bullets instead of blanks. That's who's to blame. Alec probably thought they were blanks.
Such a tragedy.

True (re: multiple people being hit) but debris is something that happens and is the main reason that you should never point a loaded gun at someone even if it DOES only have blanks loaded.

Considering the amount of films that get made that have people using guns in them it’s reassuring that there are not more accidents.
