Major Accidents That Happened On The Set of a Film

XXX

Vin Diesel was at the height of his career when XXX came out. Diesel was so popular, his producers no longer permitted him to do his own stunts and instead hired an actor named Harry O’Connor to stand in for him when the assistance was needed. When O’Connor stepped in to shoot a rapping scene, where Diesel was supposed to rappel from a helicopter onto a submarine, but the act went terribly wrong. O’Conner was slammed into a bridge and killed instantly. The scariest part is that they ended up using that shot anyways.
