The assistant director, Dave Halls, who was working on the set of ‘Rust’ had apparently been known for operating within unsafe working environments.
Prop Maker Claims That The Assistant Director On Rust ‘Did Not Maintain A Safe Working Environment’
That is according to Maggie Goll, who happened to be a prop maker who worked with Dave on the ‘Into the Dark’ series. The miscommunication on set was costly, as it ended up killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
All of this has had a significant negative impact on the mental health of Alec Baldwin and left the family of the deceased in mourning.
That is why this is a major claim, and yet, it cannot be decided if Dave was at fault for the following reasons. First of all, the police are still carrying out their investigations in order to determine what has happened.
Therefore, we do not know whether they consider Dave as being responsible. Secondly, Dave has not spoken about this as of yet. Therefore, it would be unfair to speculate on him.
In any event, just because someone has perhaps done something in the past is not grounds to hold them culpable. After all, it is just Maggie’s word at the moment.
Nevertheless, she did have a lot to say about Dave. In an interview with NBC News, she said: “At first he seemed like an older, affable first [A.D.] with the usual run of idiosyncrasies, but that facade soon disappeared.
“He did not maintain a safe working environment.” Despite what Maggie has said, it is important to note that she was working with Dave in 2019.
Therefore, if this was something that raised major alarm bells, then there will be evidence of it. Regardless of what may have happened, Maggie’s comments are only going to influence the police investigation.
At a time where Halyna’s family are looking to heal themselves, her comments may open up another can of worms. Having said all that, she did not hold back.
Maggie added: “He did not maintain a safe working environment. Sets were almost always allowed to become increasingly claustrophobic, no established fire lanes, exits blocked … safety meetings were nonexistent.”
The only thing left to do is let the police determine who should be held responsible. Until then, there is not enough evidence to say what exactly happened.
