49: Egos That Kill–Hell on the Set of "Twilight Zone: The Movie"

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) **LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED, GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF TRAUMATIC DEATH INVOLVING CHILDREN** Shortly after 2:00 A.M. on July 23, 1982, actor Vic Morrow paced nervously in front of a mock Vietnamese village at the Indian Dunes park just north of Los Angeles. Morrow could not help but feel uneasy as he watched the Huey helicopter approach the village for a final rehearsal. Years earlier, Morrow had had a premonition that he was going to die in a helicopter crash. . . .

This is the story of ego, arrogance, a manslaughter trial, and the conduct of Director John Landis and his production team that resulted in the deaths of My-ca Dinh Le (7) , Renee Shin-Li Chen (6), and Vic Morrow (53).

***The YouTube video for this episode includes actual footage of a helicopter crash resulting in death. Viewer discretion advised.***
