Is the camera man an NPC? I’m not gonna just stand two feet away as soon as hundreds of tons of steel starts shifting weight…

Is that the one where a cable snapped and everyone on the deck was cut in half? I don’t know what but I remember finding that extremely funny and laughing when it happened. Got some mean looks in the theater

Oh thank fuck I wasn't the only one. The faces and cgi blending in the scene were just hilarious.
