In January, Netflix publicly apologized to the people of Lac-Mégantic, after it discovered that Bird Box used actual footage of the Canadian town?s fatal rail tragedy. At that time, Netflix said it wouldn?t alter the finished content, however, the streaming giant has now changed its mind.
On Thursday, a Netflix spokesperson told BBC News that the company and Bird Box?s filmmakers decided to remove the clips. ?We?re sorry for any pain caused to the Lac-Mégantic community,? the streaming giant said in an emailed statement to BBC News. Netflix did not disclose the reason for pulling the clip.
