Alec Baldwin shot and killed a camerawoman: Deadliest movie accidents – cinema

The death of Halyna Hutchins († 42) by a shot by Alec Baldwin (63) is tragic. But every year there are 20 to 40 serious accidents while filming a film. More than 40 people have died since 1990.

Just like Brandon Lee († 28, photo), the son of Bruce Lee († 32). He died in 1993 while filming The Crow. Fragments of a blank cartridge had jammed in the barrel and were thrown out with the next shot.

But often it is stunt people who are brought into life-threatening situations.
