From what I understand now, yes, it was staged.

I don't believe it was staged from what I am hearing.

Give some facts on the staging.

Blades are two pieces brazed together along front and rear edge. One half has the structure built into it and the other is basically a skin.
In the photo you see the skin popped along the brazed edges.

And left a little skid mark from the LH wheel as it was turning to the right. Those movie producers think of everything.

Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Incidents happen, this just happened to occur at an international airport next to a highway. Someone should call the FAA and make sure they don't post this in their accident/incident database Monday morning.

Sure aren't many cameras out there for something staged for a movie.
