Alec Baldwin and the other tragic deaths on the set

Twenty-seven years have passed since Brandon Lee was killed while filming The Raven, shot in the abdomen by a gunshot that should have been loaded with blanks, yet it seems that fatal accidents on set are still the order of the day. The last in order of time happened during the processing of Rust, western film starring Alec Baldwin who, when unloading a prop pistol, accidentally wounded and killed two members of the crew: the director of photography Halyna Hutchins, who died during the transfer to the hospital, and the director Joel Souza, hospitalized at the Santa Fe hospital.

The problem of safety on film sets continues to be at the center of attention, especially because there have been so many accidents in the last thirty years. From David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double was paralyzed from the neck down following a crash into a wall on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 to pilot and flight instructor Art Scholl, who was killed while filming Top Gun after crashing into the Pacific Ocean while attempting a stunt with his plane.
