6. The Dark Knight (2008)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ5U8suTUw0 It can be argued that this film is responsible for the untimely death of talented actor Heath Ledger, but it cannot be argued that FX technician Conway Wickliffe€™s death was a direct result of this production. Wickliffe was on a truck filming a scene when the truck missed a 90 degree turn and hit a tree. Wickliffe was killed on impact. This is one death that we, as a movie watching community, were up in arms over simply because a car accident is one thing you can take strides to avoid. Taking a look at his filmography, it is clear that we lost a very talented technician to a very preventable accident.
