Yesterday, a huge fire ate up a whole lot of Universal Studios movie sets and left them in ashes!
Two of the most famous sets were severely effected; the King Kong set (of which three quarters were lost) and the New York set (which has been totally destroyed)!
The New York set was used for several famous movies and TV series like Spiderman 2, The Transformers, Ghost Whisperer, and Crossing Jordan.
Lots of facades were also burned up! Usually, facades are made of heavy timber and that tends to catch fire quickly and burn freely.
The cause of the fire hasn't been determined yet and the investigation is on the roll!
What a shame! Back in 1986, i visited Universal Studios and i was awe-stricken!
The King Kong set was fabulous and the Jaw's tour was scary! I hope they can retrieve some of the things and build back those timeless sets that are part of the Hollywood history.
