Not sure how many people know about Sarah Jones. If you don't it was only weeks ago a crew member was killed by a train while shooting a movie in Georgia. There is a lot of finger pointing going on right now and it appears the production company will be at fault. This accident has caused a huge movement in the business because we have all worked on productions that try to cut corners and not do things the right way to save a dollar. This time it happened at the expense of a crew members life. A facebook page called Slates for Sarah has had film crews from all over the world add her name to their slates and submit the picture of it on set. Sometimes with crew members, some actors are scene holding the slate, it has been quite impressive how many crew members have took to this, even if they did not know her.
I did not know her well, but we worked on one show together and I just remember a girl who always had a smile on her face and did her job well. I am writing this on here because I enjoy reading your threads on here when a show I worked on is airing. Usually it provides me laughs, in intrigues me where some people think the story is headed but most of all to read the moments you love and hate. Tonight during the Oscars if you see a black ribbon being worn, it is for Sarah. A push was made to get her name and picture added to the memoriam. Also there was a push to whoever wins best Cinematography, for the winner to drop her name in their speech. So keep a look out for it. I know she is not one of the celebrities but she was a member of the film family and her death has brought the industry even closer. Enjoy the Oscars and I look forward to reading your in show threads in the future!

I guess you could say that her career was railroaded.

Sarah was a close friend of someone I know very well. This was an avoidable tragedy and tough on a lot of folks. She couldn't get off the trestle and was run over by the train.

A lot phone calls went in to the Academy. I was fortunate to be at a viewing party in Atlanta with people in the film industry. Some who knew her, some who worked with her and when that popped up you could tell how much that meant to everyone. It can't replace what we loss but it definitely was a small victory to everyone. Almost everyone who won for gravity had the black ribbons on and you can guarentee the movement to keep it safe on set will only keep this momentum. Thanks to all the curious and sincere people on here (there will always be trolls too). At least a few people are now aware of the story. Stay safe everyone!

I also feel terrible for the folks who had to see it happen. It was quite traumatic and gruesome as I understand it. She was obviously loved and I do hope good comes from her death. My friends say she was a top notch really good person.
