In the latest of a number of unfortunate incidents dogging the set of the new James Bond film, Quantum Of Solace, a technician working on the film has been stabbed in a domestic dispute in Dornbirn, Austria.

In April a stuntman was seriously injured and days before that, the Bond car, an Aston Martin, skidded and landed in a lake in Italy.

Many fear that the film is jinxed. There was also an incident when a passer-by stopped to watch filming and then died from a heart attack.
