Thank you Ibechan and TR !

And now for sad news from the set of the movie... One person (Cameraman Roland Schlotzhauer) was killed and two others were critically injured in a helicopter crash while filming a parade scene in the movie yesterday. The helicopter apparently clipped a power line while following a car. It is a tragic day on the set in Iowa. Plans to continue shooting will continue Saturday morning, though.
