Premium Members William Demeritt Posted February 23, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-camera-operator-accident-20130222,0,2624567.story The linked article doesn't name the operator, but rumor has it that the operator was Russ McElhatton. Lots of other rumors surfacing through Facebook and whatnot, but lots of sources seem to say it was a stunt gone wrong, and the operator was pinned against a wall by a car. Stay safe out there, people! Thoughts and prayers to him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted February 23, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 He got hurt pretty badly. I will be interested in seeing how the insurance and disability works out. A few years ago NBC turned their backs on another operator that was severely injured on a show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
