Sets for famous movies go up in smoke
Published 02 June, 2008, 03:30
A massive blaze at the world-famous Universal Studios in Los Angeles has destroyed the set used for the Back to the Future movies, as well as the King Kong exhibit. Two mock New York and New England streets, used for film production and as visitor attractions, were also damaged.
Around four hundred firefighters tackled the blaze, which broke out on Sunday morning.
Helicopters dropped water on the burning structures as a thick column of smoke rose thousands of metres into the air.
The fire has been extinguished, but it's still not known what caused it.
