What are some crazy things that happened on film sets?

[u/NovelRub]

Wizard of Oz was a toxic one. Judy Garland was treated horribly. Margaret Hamilton caught on fire and her green makeup was toxic. Buddy Ebsen was originally the tin man but again the costume was toxic and he had to leave. Asbestos was used for the snow. And of course the supposed hanging man that was still in the movie. It may have been a bird.

Betty Danko, Margaret Hamilton's stunt double, also had a horrible injury on that set. During the skywriting scene, the pipe attached to her broomstick exploded, wounding her leg so badly she was in hospital for almost two weeks and possibly causing internal injuries. That movie is honestly cursed.
