poo poo rolls downhill until OSHA is involved. There was a cytotoxic drug spill at that plant created by an overpressure disconnecting the line from the pump manifold to the pressurized reservoir because the dude running the line insisted on keeping a manual valve open. I had just come back from lunch and had taken over line operator, was talking to the dude running the line then there was a pop and everything in the RABS was wet. It took 15 minutes to get approval to start *plating people to leave the room* after multiple screaming fights over a phone about procedure, specifically that we don't do any of that. Everyone was informed if they didn't follow procedure they would be fired, fix the good drugs and then get out in an orderly fashion.

Never heard poo poo from OSHA, so they pretended with the customer that the run was bad from compounding and never had to hand anyone video.

1) don't work for drug dealers;
2) if you're not in a union you can stand up for whatever you want, most of your coworkers aren't going to back you up because they have kids and poo poo

this is exactly why OSHA exists and why Hollywood needs to abide by rules, and if this is the moratorium on guns that The Crow should have caused then good.

2021 is a lot different than 1993, and everyone has been riding high on AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN until now, which is an inevitability.

there hasn't been a gun death on set since '93 while a bunch of stuntpeople have gotten killed in completely preventable ways during that time. seems to me that the issue here isn't the guns but the lack of competent oversight for stunts in general.

I don't want to brag, but I have some experience with watching detective shows on tv(for example, Scherlock Homes, you might have heard about him? Colombo is another famous one ). And to me all of this looks like the gun guy on set orchestrated the whole thing to kill the camera women and make it look like an accident. They probably had an affair, which she threatened to disclose to his wife or they are half-siblings and he wanted to get a coheir out of the way. I hope the police is looking into this.

If you read through this thread (and theres an actual set worker posting about in the Trump thread as well, with a few long write ups on this topic), you'll find that actors on a set are told specifically do NOT do anything with the gun.
They are explicitly not supposed to be opening it to check or do various other things that you or I might with our own weapons to normally check for safety specifically because they might unintentionally cause (or perhaps intentionally, who knows) cause this sort of issue.

Had he been seen doing this on any other reasonable set, he would have been marched right off it immediately given a what-for about it. He literally WASN'T supposed to do what you think he should have done here.

Now, granted, that is under NORMAL set conditions where an actor is handed a firearm by the armorer, who should be properly trained, etc.

But if he was acting under the assumption that 'ok this is what I've been taught, and I've been told, this is safe, then I shouldn't touch it other than to do my scene'...

Right, because somebody else is usually doing that part for the actors. The armor or prop master should be making sure the guns are clear and the shots should be set up so they aren't pointing guns at a person when they fire them. This doesn't mean they aren't following firearms safety rules - it means they're supposed to be following those same rules as part of established safety procedures. Keep in mind the actual, professional armorer's video is saying it's standard procedure to do an on-set safety check for guns before the shot so nobody on the set has to be worried about the guns and there is never a question like "is this the gun the armorer was drunkenly shooting coyotes with last night??"

The problem is when you don't see the safety check performed and the shot is set up so you are firing a gun directly at a crowd of people, then you probably should be ensuring the basic rules are followed even if it means doing it yourself before you shoot somebody dead. "I did this patently and obviously dangerous thing without following any established safety procedures because this random idiot told me it'd be fine" still makes you responsible.

No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
How many hundreds of times has Alec Baldwin been handed a gun on a movie set without incident? Why would he think twice about it? From what I've gathered so far, there's at least a half dozen other people at multiple different points of the process who are responsible for ensuring this exact thing doesn't happen. There were, necessarily, several gargantuan gently caress ups here, none of which are attributable to Baldwin without very tenuous reasoning.

Based on all the movie set related incidents listed on the OSHA website I'm gonna stick with the idea that normal OSHA guidelines already apply to working conditions on a movie set.

Really seems like he should have been familiar with the normal safety procedures given how many times he dealt with them, then. You'd think he'd have noticed that all these normal things weren't happening on his set - especially after a bunch of people walked off it for that exact reason. But yeah, I'm sure complacency born of familiarity played a role in the negligence.

What you might not have noticed in your rush to anger over the best actor in the universe, Alec Baldwin whom I clearly love with all my life, is that in my post I said "One aspect". Which it was when posted. The idea that as 'co-script writer' made him more culpable. That's what was posted. That's what I said here.

It may have been a golden age mystery-style murder where a third party deliberately switched out the guns, and
Alec Baldwin is a producer on the movie and he has a screenwriting credit as well.

it seems pretty clear from what we already have that the AD and Armorer are the only ones likely to be criminally liable. The rest of the producers are still responsible for creating a dangerous situation with no qualified experts in the first place. And Alec Baldwin is a loving rear end in a top hat for continuing to shoot after the union walked off due to safety concerns.

how is "but you aren't in a union" any sort of own here?

yes, most of us aren't in unions because the power of employees to organize for the benefits of wages, work conditions, and safety has been systematically stripped from us. and so doing anything pro-active for our own safety might end in being fired rather than changes to the unsafe system.

But gently caress, if my boss tells me to play russian roulette with something I can directly identify as dangerous, I'm still gonna tell them to gently caress off and take the consequences. Sorry if you didn't, and your coworkers playing grab-rear end with toxic waste barrels turned you into Two-Face.


The real fucker is that unions are good at fostering communication between workers, so that people start identifying the not directly identifiable dangerous situations. Tons of accidents, probably including this movie gun one, happen because worker A is doing something that kills worker B because information doesn't flow.

Probably more. Then again, you don't have to keep any ammunition in the prop gun except for those brief shots where someone is actively shooting it. No ammo, no negligent discharge.
