“Even if the hypothermia happened, people were ready to stay as long as possible because there was a lot of money at stake. Too many of them were determined not to move, so they stayed there for far too long. “, reports a source.
“You could hear someone shouting ‘doctor’ and the team was rushing. We ended up standing for 30 minutes between takes. Some were crawling at the end. At least one was taken away on a stretcher (…) There were people who arrived thinking they were going to become millionaires but they left in tears.
