Employee Sustains Fracture While Test Firing Movie Prop

At approximately 2:23 p.m. on January 18, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were test-firing the visual characteristics of a cylindrical round, constructed with cardboard and using black powder as a propellant, to simulate a 44-mm Stinger missile. The round was fired from a hand held device consisting of a steel cylinder "mortar" attached to a wooden rifle stock and using an electrical device powered by a 9-volt battery for firing. Employee #1 was injured when the round exploded within the device while he was firing it. Employee #1 sustained fractures to his face. Employee #1 was hospitalized for 12 days.
