[WeHateThePatriots]

How long were the explosions from where you were standing?

[MARIyuli13]

[DarkHorse664]

goodbye king kong ride :(

[Imflyinghighdefying]

HAS ANYONE BEEN THERE IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS?Because when you go one the tour they show a picture of the fire and there's an illusion where it looks like king kong coming out of the top of the building and escaping.

[Thekijuju]

WOA I WENT ON MAY 30!!!!! I GOT LUCKY

[Lexyanna09]

This was at Californa??

[vfd81894]

yea June 1st

[barbadoschicks]

A lot of red trucks probably for backup if a firefighter is exhausted or to help in the situation.

[bgammill]

RIP King Kong.

[Paulbarbato]

I was actually working there on that day, they made us all stay in our breakrooms until further notice

[Cprox560]

P.S. King Kong got burned down but there reparing it in early 2010

[Cprox560]

O_o WOW teh fire was BIG

[kelserzz15]

i was there the day after,

it smelled SO bad..

:(

[reese0684]

looks like you should add broadcast journalist to your resume!

[LosAngelesCoFireDept]

try over 100 to 200 engines and trucks at that fire that day

[whiteeagle00001]

I know who set that fire. If you want to know who did come up with the Ak-47 blueprints and i'll provide you with who did it. ^_~>

[love6kies]

放火したのはアメリカ人でしょうね。

放火させたのは日本人ですね？

I'm soo curious to know what you know ;)

[jekor]

Wow. It seemed like a large number, but I wouldn't have guessed there were that many. I guess they were coming from all directions, and I just saw a fraction of them. Thanks.

[SokeCS]

LOL FIREEEEEEEEEEEE

[04wnbachamps]

I went there a few days ago, actually, for a summer vacation. we saw from the escalators the fires and all of the damage. I even have pictures to prove it. But it must have been crazier being there and seeing all of the fire trucks!

[hobbitmonster]

OH MY GOODNESS! I never heard of this for ages! was any one hurt??? did they all get out safe? i hope so! shame what happened here!

[jekor]

Apparently no one was hurt. I don't remember hearing of any official explanation. But with all of the flammable materials on a film set, I'm sure any number of things could have caused it.

[hobbitmonster]

True... Thanx!!

[whiteeagle00001]

Yo Cryus why are you ducking me? Email back. Did you go back to the yamaguchi Yakuza clan or whats the deal. Yo Chris Forno from studio city Califnornia if you see cyrus tell him to email me. if not I can guarantee you'll see a fire real close.

[love6kies]

hmmmm...interesting point.

[HnLrocksdaworld]

wow...

[Medic83301]

I heard that many local fire departments surrounding Universal Studios were called in besides L.A. City . L.A. County was called in along with Burbank , Glendale , Pasadena , Alhambra , and Monterey Park .

[jekor]

That would make sense. There were sure a lot of them there.

[Medic83301]

I will share a video with you on a major public safety news event in my area ! Not a lot happens in Twin Falls , Idaho but once in a good moon something happens !

[Medic83301]

Do you know most of the major TV News networks , CNN , MSNBC , and FOX din't provide continuous coverage of this important news event ? Their main focus was on politics and the presidential race ! Thanks for your coverage !

[jekor]

You're welcome.

I find it confusing what the major media decides to focus on sometimes.

[paulinbin360]

FUUCK!! i was gonna go there this summer.

[Smexii35]

omg i was right there we had to get out

and i speneded 67 dollars waht a rip ..!!! :D

still bifg fan

[pandaduff]

It destroyed footage from very good series like Law & Order.

[LaxTonyJunkie]

this was like 4 days ago HOLY FUCK THATS CRAZY

[rampureade]

just when i was gonna make my first movie

[ilikenakidchixxx]

so when they reopen the backlot tour will they give a tour of the fire disaster.and explain what was here and there before the fire.

[jekor]

You'd hope. Warner Bros talks about their fires.

[halloweentown184]

i heard that the fire destroyed the street scene in transformers. and it destroyed some movies.

[CyrusDaGreat28]

haha, I see my car in his shots. You can also check out my footage.

[deblouses]

At 4:15-4:30 a.m. at least 4 large and loud explosions were reported by people outside the studio who reported of these throughout Sunday morning and into the afternoon, including on the internet, but now there is no mention of these reports of early morning explosions happening at this time. These 4 large explosions do not coincide with the now official position of a blow-torch accident and later propane gas tank explosions.

[Baraquiel62]

wooow! greetings from Mexico City!

[Starangelica]

Sheeeet! So THAT was all the smoke you could see from Epcot! Jesus, the day before the fire i was at universal...wow

This was NOT at Florida!

This was in Hollywood California,,

[papurilla]

Sheeeet! So THAT was all the smoke you could see from Epcot! Jesus, the day before the fire i was at universal...wow

[TGFTH]

[xudian17]

Is that "KARMA"?

[elenababy]

why would it be karma?

[chaowei1389]

I don't know.you should ask sharon stone.

[trance2dance]

Despite reports...The clock tower from Back to the Future did survive the fire. Just the facades in front of it! Sadly, King Kong didn't survive =(

[hoydesign]

Good vid. Looks like the first view from your apartment is somewhere around Pass Avenue in Burbank? Must have been a rude awakening. Got a great view this morning as well from the Smoke House... bit ironic.

[jekor]

Actually, I was on the Studio City side.

Smoke House :)

[FallzOnBallz]

the whole day i was smelling Burnt rubber/plastic

[dumKID14]

Sabotage by the ghost of walt disney from the grave

[johnuw]

first word ever came to my mind refering to Ms. Stone:

karma

[elenababy]

why is everyone saying it's karma?

[chaowei1389]

HOHO！Is that karma????????????????

[elenababy]

Why would it be karma?

[hector1234]

[Marold101]
