JEREMIAH 43:12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the god of Egypt; and E shall burn them, and carry them away captives. And HE shall array HIMSELF with the land of Egypt, as a SHEPHERD putteth on HIS GARMENT and HE shall go forth from thence in peace. 13:HE shall break also the images of Beth-she-mesh, that is the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the land HE burn with FIRE. This is how the FIRE got started it started a long time ago.GOD is going to burn everything up soon!

[TheRode]

Bible Thumper

[themostbeatifull]

stop at 0:36 and ckeck hes face+

[ShmellyEggz]

Does anyone know how the fire started?

I remember being told about this, I just now found out how bad

[cagrizzly]

some weilders on the set left a hot piece of metal smoldering when they left for some breakfast and that is what caused the fire.

yes pepsi was filming a commercial but they were not the ones who caused the fire

[sailoramaya]

I hope those welders got fired (no pun intended) or at least put them through some sort of safety training. Because of their carelessness a major piece of Hollywood history is gone forever. :(

[hisbabygirl1719]

they should rebuild King Kong that was a really good set. that sucks that it wont be there anymore

[hellomoto7604]

wow. i live in clovis, CA. I watched this on the news. so sad.RIP:KING KONG, BACK TO THE FUTURE, SPIDERMAN/TRANSFORMERS STREET.

[mrlego611]

than217 this real it happened it happened at the dawn of 01-06-08 its true its not CG its not fake its real.

[gunnet456]

NOOO i cant beleive it but thank god no one is hurt i hope it didn't hit the mummy ride!!!!!!!!!! (sniff) sob noo!!!!

[impulsewithMiggyVee]

man i went two days before this happened...man tha's totally crazy, i was upset.

[12345zarish]

well i just went one day ago seriously

[GeorgeTangoThwiese]

man that just makes me wanna cry. i mean i was gonna go there this summer and it destroyed back to the future props. wait O MY GOD, KING KONG IS GONE THAT WAS THE WHOLE REASON I WANTED TO GO. DAMN U MOTHER NATURE

[NatureChildJM]

it wasnt mother nature, but some faulty equipment or something. But it does suck. Majorly!!

[riskykitty1]

Not that long ago?? early 90's dude

[futureguy111]

wtf im goin to universal studios and this is what im gonna expect!?

[TedGreene]

You Sir, sound like you are unsatisfied with the NEW flaming pyrotechnic show

[JileeSmells]

i was there a week before that happened god saved me because i was gonna stay there another week

[sk8andrip]

its aws a torch that caused the fire i did some research on it the firefighter investigaters said that a torch caught the celing on fire. and then the fire started..

im about 99.9% sure.

TY..

Hope Universal will rebuild everything that was damaged i go there a lot and lot of enjoyment..

=)

[Elaine1436]

it was caused by a propane tank on the sound stag...im 115% sure

[than217]

Man that fire looks so CG and fake!

[Deadzilla]

Wait the original Kong stuff burned? and the ride? I only rode that 2 times in my life :( dammit I was hoping to take my girlfried there for her first time. :( I feel sad now I bet PJ's going to be upset too.

[CodeRed001]

Which in my opinion, is nothing of value!

[fairyslight]

That's crazy! I was just at Univeresal Studios for the first time in my life the week before!

[Martymoose100]

Such a shame, Back to the future set destoyed i hear

[twinkletoes72]

im so upset that this happened!

i have have been fortunate enough to visit the Universal Studios in L.A. many times and the backlot tour was my favorite part of the whole experience. Hopefully the park will be able to recover from this huge loss.

[vigo894]

It was not arson. I think it a a welder's torch that caused the fire.

[109deadman]

oh ok at least it wasnt an arson evrey body i know is saying it was

[USNdieHARD]

Universal Studios is closed for the next 8 weeks, get your refunds, in 4 days, NO REFUNDS...

[spencerdeanbitch]

It was probably just Arsen...Universal Studios could sure use the cash they're getting from their insurance agency.

[joe133322]

I was just there 2 weeks ago, its to bad... the part that was on fire was a simulation os New York

I think the fire was so big because they said all the bricks on the fake buildings are made out of styrofoam and other fake materials.

[MCFDStation2]

Commentary was second rate, but Universal Studio's probabbly had 50 cameras covering the fire for the next back draft movie.

[CodeRed001]

And nothing of value was lost!

[startide]

This is a great loss ! Hopefully no one was injured !

Yesterday I was buying stuff to build a ghostbuster costume, and I had my universal sweat shirt, the guy from the shop asked me if I wasn't too hot in there... I was puzzled, little did I know that universal studio was on fire :( :(

Despite being from france, I had the opportunity to go to LA several times and I always had a blast at universal studios. It's a great loss because those sets where part of our history !!!!

[kristianbejb]

its just a marketing, or al kaida terrorist. ouch.

[johnh23]

Well that just means shows will have to move North of 49 to Lions Gate studios in North Vancouver BC.

[MexicanBamf]

FK!!!!

[kleei2]

Man... that thumbnail picture for this video is golden

[jojophai]

wasn't the cause of the fire propane tanks?

[k220685]

is Psycho Pass safe?

is Wisteria Lane safe?

[1simaddict1]

Wisteria Lane is safe

[shacks30]

Thank God!

[eshfemme]

This is why smokers suck.

[Cantwetalk]

I read that they have lost over 40.000 movie & television reels. ouch! That's gotta hurt.

[iloveallecchianime]

i dont care cause i hate all old movies and dont watch tv... only VEOH BABY!!

[leleleleee]

moron

[jb2926]

@Cantwetalk every movie has 2 or 3 copies they just lost some film sets

[12ang3r]

the fire broke out from lighting and props not becuz of sum1 dropping a ciggerette on the ground while it was lit i was there my friend's dad took us there for the movie he was working on

[vigo894]

At least no one was killed. The MTV Movie Awards went ahead as scheduled. The Back

To The Future Clock Tower was destroyed

also.

[1simaddict1]

I heard that it was just damaged. Did you heard anything about the Ghost whisperer set. They was using the old back to the future set which I also heard that the courthouse was burned down

[kb24mvp818]

damn thats crazy i was just there yesterday also it is so hard to believe.......man that sux ........when i first heard the news like at 10am pacific time i was shocked and i thought all of city walk burnt down i was about to go cazy cuz i go there alot there is a lot of fine ass females that go there too....but thankfully it was jus the studios wich is bad but not as all city walk

[tucker1012]

[steve991985]

[snareslapper]

Holy crap, losing movie memorabilia is always a great loss because it is movie history..and all you dumb shits who put lol are complete and total MORONS.

[devilcavemanalbinos]

poor paleface souls ha ha ha lol

[andreaRBD125]

how did it start?

[princessqueen549]

It started by someone smoking and dropping it well it was still lit. But now all the sets are gone: ( Some have been there forever to and now........

[ryaninprogress]

The Bates Motel didn't burn....

[cczero06]

they may have lost their movie vault but they have another copy of all the movies in another location, found that out on a website but dont remember which it was

[Flatwheels01]

loooooooooooooool

[XnukeyouupX]

lol!

[azjeff1971]

As long as no one's home gets on fire, I am AOK with a movie set burning.  They have all the money in the world to replace it.

[wizykid]

i was just there in that part of the park a few weeks ago with the school choir and they had to close one of the sets for risks of fire.

[billydakidll]

lol gay my cousins uncle was going today

[theHeraldTV]

As long as the toasters (Battlestar Galactica) drive-thru doesn't get burnt. The day that happens, I'm outta this world.

[demonwindzabuza]

i was planning on going to universal today, but i am glad i didn't otherwise i would be near that fire......hope it doesn't get to any of the rides

[charlesreberto]

its still going on and its 1:29

[natethestump]

[creampuff94]

Yep.

[bigkyle07]

My shows better be ok!

[WcHouse]

[Hollywood1127]

GOD DAMN. I hope it did not hurt The Mummy.

[creampuff94]

The Mummys on the other side. King Kong did get destroyed though.
