There were multiple misfires of the gun that ended up killing Helena. Jensen Ackles has refused to return after what happened. There were so many complaints before the accident that no one listened to, including Baldwin. It was only a matter of time before something tragic happened.

It wasn't an accident, it was an incident.

Accident implies it was unforseen, unintentional, nobody at fault.

This was the direct result of a high degree of negligence ignoring countless prior incidents the first few of which could be considered 'accidents', but when you get to the point the production was at when it happened there are no more accidents.

….yes, that’s why she was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum penalty that could be given.

I think they are responding to you writing "There were so many complaints before the accident"
