Everyone's talking about the tragedy that occurred yesterday. As the L.A. Times reported…
Actor and producer Alec Baldwin fired the prop gun on a New Mexico movie set that killed the director of photography and injured the director, an accident that is renewing questions about safety hazards on film sets.
There's a lot of armchair — make that computer chair — detective work going on from people who are not at the scene, taking testimony from everyone who could have loaded or handled what was supposed to be a "cold" (unloaded) gun. Some folks are asking my opinion and my opinion is that, apart from saying it's a horrible tragedy, I don't have an opinion. I might once those who are actually investigating the matter conclude their investigation.
It might have something to do with the production losing most of its union crew and replacing them with crew members who are less experienced…and it might not. Why don't we wait and see?
