We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Yeah, bit shocked considering how safe they are out there. I'm wondering if the 'crew' didn't want bigger booms or something..
I feel bad for his daughters as well.. I guess Mel saw the whole thing happen too.. =(

From the news article, it sounded like the whole family was out there. I went to high school with his daughters.

Yeah, thats what i've heard too.. *sigh* ..
My condolences to the family, Mel has been such a huge part of Colorado Springs for so long, I feel bad for him and his family. I could not imagine that happening to me, I have no idea how he was able to do an interview today..

Very sad read...
http://www.koaa.com/news/dragonman-s-wife-killed-in-freak-movie-production-incident/
I can't imagine..
This part disturbs me though..
"It's the first accident at the shooting range in all 31 years of operation. Investigators are determining whether the production company could be held liable for the accident, and whether Bernstein himself could face any charges in the incident that took his wife's life.
Production crews have since returned to California and Dragonman Arms will be open for business on Saturday. Bernstein says the range is safe, and the materials that caused the accident aren't normally present on the property, but were brought in for the purposes of the movie.
A funeral will be held for Flannell on Monday."
They charge Mel, and there will be a LOT of us needing to write letters..

Uggh. "Weaponized smoke-bombs"
Our language is dying at the hands of the unlettered illiterate that suppose the spoken word is somehow more capable. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. What then is a video of nonsense worth?

I read this, and the comments people are leaving are really ******* me off.. The Blaze DID NOT do a good job actually desribing what happened, rather made it look like Mel wanted to kill his wife.. I am a huge Blaze reader.. this makes me mad..

Howdy Folks!
I ain't said much about it, but what really made me cranky about the link was the abject lack of respect, much less sympathy, for the family displayed over there on that site. A really terrific human being lost her life, and her husband is mourning the loss of his life partner, and they use it as another opportunity to stump their political opinion? Really? I mean... I know there are shallow people in this world, but that sort of garbage just takes the cake. Really shows the level quality of some folks when they can't be bothered to express condolences without trying to worm their own small minded, little, insignificant world view onto the funeral pyre of a marvelous woman; they can't show respect for her passing!
Blessings,
M-Taliesin
