Expand commentChris, interesting you bring up Twilight Zone, do you feel it is in the same category as this tragedy? I'm certainly glad that it created a solution via your business, and I'm sure the parties involved in TZ are as well. We had John Landis as a guest speaker for lunch years ago, probably a full 10 years after the incident and when it came up he was still devastated by it, it was clearly the most horrific moment of his life, and there is no doubt he would do anything to avoid anything like that ever happening again. For this case however it feels more like brazen ignorance that was completely avoidable which makes it all the more tragic.

Expand commentLaurie, Yes, they are in the same category. Having extensively studied the TZ accident including reviewing the raw footage of the accident from each camera, the causes were not simple ignorance. Mr. Landis claimed that he was not responsible for the crash and that the fault lay with the pilot. Get a copy of Outrageous Conduct - Disaster at twilight zone. It is a detailed review of the criminal trial evidence and investigation. Below is information from the book: The pyrotechnic effects as planned were misrepresented to the pilot. During the first take of what ultimately killed Vic Morrow and the two small children (children who were working illegally, without a permit, and whose families were paid in cash to conceal their presence from the labor commission, an alleged conspiracy to hide the presence of the children from the studio teacher and the fire safety officer), the effects were far larger than what had been described to the pilot and what the pilot agreed would be safe. The pilot went to Landis and expressed to him that the effects had nearly brought down the aircraft. Landis assured him it was a mistake and assured the pilot that it would be reduced and be well away from the aircraft for the next take. The effects that brought the aircraft down were not smaller and debris and heat cause a loss of part of the rail rotor and the crash of the aircraft onto the three actors below, decapitating Vic Morrow and Myca Din Lee and crushing the young girl to death. Crew members on the hillside felt the heat of the first take and complained that they felt unsafe. Crew members say that Landis ordered the aircraft lower and lower bringing the aircraft closer to the pyro charges. As a production safety expert, my opinion is that it was incredibly irresponsible to place performers under an aircraft amid pyro effects and under no circumstances should minors be in such a scene. I encourage people to read the book and draw their conclusions.

Expand commentJD, excellent question. You made a wise choice to step off and lighten the load. NYC does have building standards regarding fire escapes (http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/downloads/rules/1_RCNY_15-10.pdf but they specify construction requirements, not load capacity. Age and condition affect load capacity with fire escapes, balconies, roofs, etc. A call to building & safety department can sometimes get you an answer if you can get to the inspector who is responsible for the building. Alternative is to get an opinion from an engineer. All good steps during the location scout. My rule of thumb for being on roofs or other structures - essential personnel only for load and making it easier to get everyone out safely in an emergency.

Thanks, and have a creative day!
