Highly unlikely. I understand that the investigation needs to be thorough, and that releasing tidbits of information would only fuel rampant speculation, but, well, the absence of information does the same thing. We're told that Hutchins said "I can't feel my legs." That suggests a big damn bullet severed her spine, likely created a good sized exit hole, and then hit the director but with less force. Just speculation, of course. Quite some pebble! | |||

Sheriff had press conference. He said that they have the shell casing and that a lead projectile was extracted from the director's shoulder by medical personnel and turned over to the authorities. Also that "other live ammunition" was found on the set. Investigation ongoing.

That's a safety mantra, and why OSHA exists. I've been involved with construction projects and industrial workplaces for my entire professional career. A safety discipline is not necessarily easy to instill or enforce, but it's essential to prevent results like this. During a safety presentation at a previous employer, the safety officer cited a statistic that has stuck with me ever since. He said, "For every jobsite fatality, there are 20,000 unsafe actions that take place." There is a constant temptation to take chances or cut corners to save time, money, or whatever and it takes very intentional work to see that this doesn't take place. I fully expect that as the investigation unfolds, there will be multiple places in the sequence of events where a safe decision could have been made but was overruled by some such considerations. It is often only after the tragedy occurs that people realize that laws. regulations. rules, and protocols exist precisely to prevent such tragedies and not to make their life and work more difficult or time-consuming.

NASA rediscovered this after Challenger. They should have learned after Apollo 1, but didn't. | |||

Lead Projectile Recovered ... Blanks and pebbles are absolved!
Ah, the single bullet theory! Where have we heard that?  | |||

Could have been an error in manufacture. Or in purchasing. Here’s the thing I wonder about. In police training, officers use guns colored ref or blue so there is no mixup. Is there any reason real ammunition isn’t a different color from blanks? That would help prevent someone from making a mistake. | |||

Institutional memory is short. And what doomed the Challenger was complacency, more specifically, "normalization of deviance". They were told not to launch below a certain temperature. They had repeatedly launched below the minimum temperature, then at lower and lower temperatures without anything going wrong (there was evidence that the O-rings were failing at these lower temperatures). Until something did go wrong. Continually pushing the envelope and ignoring the experts will eventually get you in trouble. It was also an apparent case of management overriding the opinions and decisions of the engineers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...r#Decision_to_launch There is a problem determination method called Apollo Root-Cause Analysis. The "Apollo" name comes from the rocket. I've taken classes in it and participated in several analyses. It was sort of the default method at the NFFMCo. I have heard that every employee of JAL must visit the Safety Promotion Center once a year so the memory is regularly refreshed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_Promotion_Center

Armorer says "not her fault" Pushes blame on unnamed "producers." Clearly in her interest for her lawyers to be aggressively pushing this line in public. I'll wait for more facts to emerge from the investigation. | |||
