It's a Bad Bad Week on Film Sets
Source: Contact Music
In yet another film set accident, a stagehand was killed Thursday on Samuel L. Jackson's movie 'Jumper', when frozen sand, earth, and ice fell on him. The set dresser, David Ritchie, 56, was killed instantly. A second man was taken to the hospital for injuries. The movie set was in the process of being taken down when the accident occurred, so no actors or film crew were in the vicinity.
This death is another in a series of publicized accidents over the last couple of weeks, including one with Nicole Kidman involved, another with Bruce Willis, and a third on the Tom Hanks set.
