Comprehensive media reports, Hollywood movie star Alec Baldwin used prop guns to kill the crew by mistake, more and more details of the accident have been exposed, this accident may have long been a sign.
On Thursday, local time, Alec Baldwin used a prop gun to shoot the Western "Rust" in New Mexico, but the gun accidentally misfired, resulting in the death of cinematographer Harina Hutchins and the injury of director Joel Susaza.
According to media reports, before the accidental shooting tragedy, the safety hazards of the crew have been revealed.
On the morning of the incident, 6 crew members involved in the strike were temporarily replaced, including 1 prop designer.
The reason for the crew's strike is allegedly that the crew was unwilling to pay for the staff's accommodation in a nearby hotel, and the staff had to spend more than 1 hour driving to the set every day, and they were so tired that they had to sleep in the car.
Unable to tolerate long hours of high-intensity work and low pay, six film crew members went on strike and packed up their belongings and left on the morning of the incident.
In the end, several other staff members took their places, including a new prop master.
An anonymous person told the media that just a few days before the incident, Baldwin accidentally fired two bullets when he used a prop gun as a stand-in, and at that time, he was also told that there was no live ammunition in the gun.
An industry insider said: "This tragedy is caused by a series of mistakes by many people.
First, there should be no live ammunition on the set.
Second, everyone on the set of the film has the right to check before the weapon is launched.
Third, a person should not be allowed to stand in front of a weapon that is firing, and at any time, the barrel of the gun should only be pointed to the bottom of the camera, and there should be no one behind the camera.
The industry insider also said the tragedy would not have happened if the gun had been checked before handing it over to Baldwin.
In addition, 24-year-old gun mechanic Hannah Reed was accused of lack of experience.
A month ago, Hannah Reed was on a podcast show about the film she was working on starring Nicolas Cage in The Old Way, her first on-set experience.
Hannah Reid's father, Thiel Reed, was a well-known Hollywood gunner who worked as a weapon prop maker in Quentin's films Django Rescued and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
On the day of the incident, Hannah Reid handed Baldwin an old-fashioned Colt revolver and said, "There is no live ammunition in it, safe!" ”
A few seconds later Baldwin pulled the trigger and tragedy struck.
After manslaughtering the photographer, Baldwin issued a statement:
"No words can express my shock and sadness at this unfortunate accident, which took the life of Harena Hutchins, a wife, mother and colleague whom we respect. I am fully cooperating with the police in investigating the cause of this tragedy. I kept in touch with her husband and fully supported him and his family. I am heartbroken for her husband, their son, and all those who know and love Harena. ”
