Your support makes all the difference.The filming of a “bombing scene” for an American TV show caused panic among local residents in Brooklyn this week.
Fire, smoke and “cannon-like” booms could be heard emanating from nightclub Schimanski on North 11th Street, according to a local source.
“It caused some panic,” the source told Page Six. “It looked like people were screaming and running for their lives out of the place.
“It seemed like EMS [Emergency Medical Services] and the FDNY [the Fire Department of the City of New York] were there….
“Then I realised it was all for a TV show.”
The website reports that the second series of the NBC drama Manifest was filming a bombing scene at the venue.
The show, which tells the story of a plane that goes missing mid-flight only for it to later reappear five years later, has drawn strong comparisons with Lost and The Leftovers.
Manifest season two is expected to air on Sky One in the UK in 2020.
