From what I’ve read, it didn’t sound completely like an accident to me. Working conditions were apparently so bad that the camera crew had walked off the set earlier that day. Non-union replacements were brought in, which is why safety standards were low and the set was chaotic.

This was a labor dispute, and Baldwin was careless with safety in order to avoid the costs of providing decent working conditions and pay.
