Updated: Universal Studios Hollywood Burns

Not just a few days later, a fire happens. A few sets were destroyed, including part of the Back to the Future clock tower, some streets featured in Spiderman 2, and the infamous King Kong exhibit. We won't be seeing them again, that's unless they rebuild them. Some original film were burned, but copies of those film were in another set altogether. The Park was also closed to all visitors and will be open tomorrow. Now's a time to grieve, soon the rebuilding will begin. Here's the full story with video: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24916515&GT1=43001

Update: The fire was started by accident. Supposedly said to have started by people on set as they used a blowtorch for a movie they filmed. They set fire to some of the roofs of some of the sets and made sure as best they can that the fires were all out, but clumsily apparently not everything was put out causing numerous sets to burn. Will they work in this town again? You be the judge of that.

I just got done watching the video from MSN. Do they even know how the fire started? Did someone start it or was it on accident? Because to burn that much, that seems quite devastating.
