The report said:"It was the second fire at the historic site in nearly two decades, leveling facades, hollowing out buildings and creating the kind of catastrophe filmmakers relish re-creating. This time around, thousands of videos chronicling Universal's movie and TV shows were destroyed in the blaze.
But Universal officials said that they were thankful no one was seriously injured at the theme park and that the damaged footage can be replaced."
The fire destroyed the Back to the Future clock tower set and a King Kong exhibit, as well as two mock New York/New England streets. Also destroyed were almost 50,000 videos including "I Love Lucy" and "Miami Vice" episodes--thankfully, Universal says that duplicates were stored in another location so nothing is lost forever.
It's scary to see how powerful fire is and how fragile history can be!
