Universal Studios Fire - LA - 1st June 2008

From The BBC News Website:

A large fire is burning at the world-famous Universal Studios in Los Angeles, California.

The blaze was reported before dawn on a sound stage at the film studios, said Los Angeles fire captain Frank Reynoso.

More than 100 city and county firefighters are helping studio staff tackle the flames, which have caused several explosions.

No injuries have been reported at the 230-acre site, which saw filming for King Kong and The War of the Worlds.

Helicopters have been dropping water on to the burning structures, and television pictures showed flames leaping into the air as a thick cloud of smoke covered the site."

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.

This was truly a monster fire... sorry couldn't resist.

Saw the backlot burn back in 1990 as well which was at night. It threw up the biggest flames I have ever seen in person.

Bummed to see the clock tower go.
