Fire at Universal Studios in California
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

Me too. I was like, "Not the clock tower!"

And the funny thing was they didn't specify on CNN this morning which Universal it was. I kept sitting there like, "Okay, that's sad, but where did this happen? Hello? You people..."
And now it occurs to me: where else would they keep the sets? XD
But still, that's a tragedy. Sort of a piece of history gone now, I guess...if you'd call it a piece of history.

RESPECT THE UNBORN AND CHOOSE LIFE...your mother did.

Apparently not.
I wonder if people are going to start going around with cans and flyers and yelling "SAVE THE CLOCK TOWEERRRR".

Same here...I was like, "Wait a minute...we were just there recently..." O_O
Actually, my dad told me that the set caught fire a few years ago too. You think something is going on with that set in particular?

Could be as simple as 20+ year old wiring...
I think the big loss here actually may be the king kong attraction... it was a massive animatronics piece with lots of effects and was a big advertising piece for the park and the studio tour ride.

The fire was accidental. Workers using a blow torch to try to remove shingles from a building roof had done the work and then left. When they came back 30 minutes later everything was on fire.
It seems everytime someone uses a blow torch to heat something like pipes or make something easy to remove they set something on fire.
I have run many fires like that. Alot of them became multipale alarms.

what made me sad was that courthouse was not just from
Back to the Future it was also the courthouse from
To Kill a Mockingbird
