veerBy: tarik | Friday , 13 Feb '09 21:15:08 PM Reply | Forward The first reports said that it was an "artificial wall" that collapsed, leading me to think it was part of the set. Now people are saying it was an "ancient" wall. I can't rely on the accuracy of Indian media's reports, especially when it comes to Salman, so now I don't know if it was really part of the original Fort that was damaged. I still doubt it, though, because those original walls were built to withstand an onslaught of thousands of enemy troops (and did withstand them!) so I doubt that they would collapse merely because some people climbed over or stood on them. It seems, from all reports, it wasn't the wall's collapse, but the ensuing stampede, in which these people got injured. In any case, I get the strong feelling that there were many groups who were just looking for any excuse to stop the filming, so this gave them a golden opportunity. I was actually something to be made out of it, so this court order doesn't come as a surprise, unfortunately.
