Two crew members were were hurt on the set of a TV shoot at the Port of Los Angeles on Thursday when their legs became trapped under a shipping container, authorities said. Firefighters quickly rescued the victims from beneath the 20-foot container about 1:30 p.m. at Berth 60 near Warehouse One, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Amy Bastman. Both were taken to a hospital, though Bastman did not know their conditions.

A black SUV at the scene had major front-end damage. Hearn said the shoot had been going on for the past two days and included simulated explosions.
