In the incident report, released to local reporters on Monday, Wayne County Sheriff Sergeant Ben Robertson writes that he witnessed a conversation between executive producer Jay Sedrish and and employee of CSX. “In my presence, Mr. Sedrish was asked by an employee of CSX if he had permission to be on the trestle or tracks and Mr. Sedrish replied, ‘That’s complicated.’

This is ridiculous. I read and commented on the other article about this topic, and I mentioned that it isn't probable to clear the railroad (therefore precautions must be made). The fact that they had no permit requests made to shoot on that location shows a complete disregard for their crew's safety and their lack of capability to plan ahead. There was clear miscommunication as well as poor planning. I feel awful for that poor woman's family. My only hope is that there will be a lot more precaution taken when scouting potentially hazardous film locations. The perfect shot is not equal one life.
I can't believe that this production team thought it would be acceptable to film in such a dangerous location without a permit. This shows a great disregard for the safety of their cast and crew, and a general lack of basic common sense. They had to know that there wouldn't be enough time to get off the tracks in the area that they were filming. There are a reason there are safety regulations on basically everything- this reminds me of how we have to warn the audience of where the exits are before every show that we do. It kind of kills the mood, but we do it because it's a basic safety regulation that could be the difference between life and death. You don't mess around with moving trains in areas you can't escape quickly.
This is really appalling. The fact that they disregarded the safety of their crew, knowingly, is baffling to me. Everyday people get hurt working on crews that have taken every precaution, so the fact that they felt the need to bypass the most basic of safeguards in such a dangerous environment makes no sense. I hope that something comes of the several investigations into the matter, so that there is justice for Sarah Jones's family.
