Opening statements are expected to begin Thursday in New Mexico in the trial of "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez.
The weapons supervisor has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally shot by actor Alec Baldwin on the Santa Fe set while he was handling a prop gun.

He needs to be instead of putting all the responsibility on the armorer.
HE’s the one who pointed the gun and pulled the trigger and didn’t check to make sure it was safe to use.
There’s a bunch of blame in this one.
Baldwin pointing the gun.
The Director saying the gun was “clean”.
The girl had live ammo on the set.
The girl was a pure nepotism hire.
Etc.
I think they are each separately at fault.
We know his shortcomings but her’s have only just begun to come out. The charges imply (1) she was impaired in some manner during her service in this capacity, and (2) she was the one who brought live rounds to the set (why?).
In aviation maintenance we called that “the Swiss Cheese Model”
The system as a whole produces failures when holes in all of the slices momentarily align, permitting “a trajectory of accident opportunity”, so that a hazard passes through holes in all of the defences, leading to an accident.
I like that.
This Swiss cheese has many holes.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen it live and in color in all it’s glory....more than once.
I'd add drugs on the set, lack of controls or oversight, poor staffing, low budget, incompetent staff. And Baldwin, whether a victim of circumstances or not, he pulled the trigger while aiming the gun.
I’m in engineering and I see management and business personnel create systemic failure too often.
MBAs only looking at the current fiscal quarter, with no long term sight, is mind boggling. By the time the failure occurs, the managers and MBAs have played corporate musical chairs.
Thanks for the link.
That's what the shareholders want, quick profits, then they'll simply dump the stock when things go south, or their computer trading programs will do it for them.
I agree. Those are part of my “etc”, I just got lazy…
It’s just giving an alcoholic another drink.
Eventually there’s cirrhosis.
Short term gains, in conjunction with incompetence, will lead to massive systemic failures.
It’s just a matter of how long the music will keep playing.

That’s coming. Maybe WWIII, or maybe a hybrid of the two.
What movie is that?
Irons is an incredible actor.

Margin Call....watch it! Irons should have won an Oscar.
He got a hand slap instead of a head slap.
No prob.
Reviewing internal defect data for just a quarter would be considered insanity at the aviation maintenance facility I was at.
Our belief was that “trending over time” (week, month, year and multiple years) was just too valuable, and that was proven out over and over.....and yet, even with that level of granular analysis the swiss cheese model would STILL rear its ugly head occasionally.
The idea was to achieve zero defects through continuous process improvement......although obviously never achievable, striving for that target helped keep failures under control as much as possible.....at least that was the idea.
The most obvious weak link was that government employees are doing the maintenance. 😁
Wise guy, AAHH?
