Summary
The 1982 Twilight Zone Movie Set Disaster And Deaths Of Actors Vic Morrow, Myca Lee and Renee Chen [Part 1]
**The sound quality of the first couple dozen episodes of this show isn't good; I was still learning!! Skip ahead about a year! Also, KD is no longer a part of the Orbital Jigsaw Network or Blubrry**
Today in part two of a two part episode, we take a look back at the 1982 Twilight Zone Movie helicopter crash that claimed the lives of three actors on the set of the film, including veteran actor Vic Morrow and two young children, 7 year old Myca Le and 6 year old Renee Chen. We take a look at the way movie and television set accidents have been handled in the past and how one of the worst accidents in movie making history changed the way Hollywood Studios they dealt with safety on the set.
