As the armourer, she and the prop master had one job - make sure the prop was safe. They blew it and someone died.

Well, someone was killed. The investigation will determine who blew what. You might be a bit premature pinning it on her.
Props don’t shoot.
Proof yet AGAIN, that ALL problems are HR problems.
ALL of them!
This is the sort of weak reasoning and conclusion jumping that I have come to expect from you.
Completely ignored by you is the possibility that some Union troublemaker deliberately loaded live rounds into a checked gun.
Movie set rules require the prop master to hand the guns to actors, not the assistant director. That alone is a violation. The fact that the AD and Baldwin didn't verify the gun was loaded was another violation.
I don't know if the Prop Master and Armorer failed in their jobs. They may have, but I will not immediately jump to that conclusion.
Alex Baldwin had one job: do not shoot and kill someone. He blew it, and someone died.
Yep. If your job includes making a prop gun safe and taking out the trash, you don’t do the second part until you’re done with the first part. If you don’t have time to finish everything, the part you don’t finish needs to be taking out the trash.
