Apple Vision Pro Filming Ends in Desert Plane Crash
16 Apr
Summary
- Paralympic athlete Claire Lomas died in a plane crash during an Apple Vision Pro filming.
- The crash occurred in the Jordan desert while filming for Apple's Adventure series.
- Investigation into the July 2024 crash is ongoing, with a hearing delayed until 2026.
Paralympic athlete Claire Lomas tragically died in a microlight aircraft crash in the Jordan desert approximately two years ago, during a filming session for Apple's Vision Pro.
Apple was working with a production partner to film Lomas for its "Adventure" immersive video series. The filming occurred in July 2024 when the crash took place during landing, causing the plane to veer off a road and hit a rock.
Investigators have since ruled that Lomas succumbed to her injuries weeks after the impact. A UK coroner's hearing to determine the official cause of death was scheduled for the end of this month but has been postponed until later in 2026.
The investigation's protracted timeline is attributed to its complexity, with the latest delay caused by a legal representative's unavailability. The original plan was to release the episode featuring Lomas's flight in 2025.
Concerns over production safety were reportedly raised by staff involved in the "Adventure" series, citing long hours, harsh climates, and equipment operation in challenging conditions. Apple reportedly sent a health and safety representative to address these issues.
