. >> bryan, from what we've all been learning in the wake of this tragedy and thinking about brandon lee's death in 1993, is what this actor described breaking safety protocols in any way? >> obviously, from what he described, yes, it would seem that the distances were not correct. there is very well established, and any professional in the industry is going to follow these, a minimum safe distance for a blank. a blank can kill, ask nd we're talking a few inches. it's happened before. anything like a few feet, the damage will be mitigated. you may get scorched skin with the powder hitting you, but that's why we take it to a factor of four or more. make sure your actors, any of your cast or crew, you always want to point away from anyone. you never point directly at. if you're pointing at, you're breaching some kind of safety protocol. if you're feeling the effect of that round going off, you're probably, in my experience, within the threshold of the minimum safe distances, which shouldn't be happening. sd >> a lot here to still discover as this investigation continues. bryan carpente
