PHOTOS: Explosion As Part Of Movie Filming Shatters Building Windows

Authorities say an explosion planned during a movie shoot in Macon did more damage than they anticipated.

The Telegraph reports that a fireball from an exploding bus broke out some windows on the second floors of buildings along Cotton Avenue.

The explosion, around 3:45 a.m. Sunday, was part of filming of the science fiction movie "The Fifth Wave."

Chris Floore, a spokesman for the Macon-Bibb County fire department, said authorities were not aware of any structural damage to buildings.

Floore said the movie stunts, which also included landing a helicopter near Second Street and Cotton Avenue, had been thoroughly discussed in safety planning meetings.
