NBC Bay Area is reporting that multiple people are voicing their displeasure at the filming going in their cities right now.

That was a particularly intense explosion, but there were cars flipping too. A couple of building lamps also felt the wrath of the blaze as their covers melted too.

“We just saw the plastic that was all melted, so we didn’t know what was going on,” Encar Orozco of JCDecaux Street Furniture told NBC. “We called our manager and we found out that it was some explosion for the movie.”

Carol Dickerson also noted how surreal it was to watch the film crews try and collect their shots throughout the day. “When I looked out the window and realized the helicopter was that close, I thought, ‘Oh, I hope we don’t have a ‘Die Hard’ situation here where it hits the building.’ But, no, they were really safe.”
