A fire this past weekend broke out in Universal Studios, California's Backlot.
The fire destroyed their King Kong attraction,part of the famous New York City Street set used on ally mcbeal,the xfiles,etc and hundreds of thousands of tape reels for different films and series (duplicates were housed in a seperate location luckily).
But the biggest thing it's destroyed was the famous "Courtyard Square" set that had been used on dozens of films and television shows. The most famouse is most likely the one pictured above where it was "Hill Valley Clocktower" in Back to the Future Trilogy.
The set was currently being used for Jennifer Love Hewitt's show "Ghost Whisperer"
sad sad sad.... :( Can you believe they even lost King Kong? U.Orlando got rid of that in favor of mummy a couple years back...i wonder if they will replace or redo?
Poor Hill Valley.
I heard that a bolt of lightning struck the clock tower and started the fire...
