*dW* Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 They've now contained it to one building (the King Kong attraction), however it seems to have been confirmed that the following have been destroyed: Courthouse Square (Back to the Future square) New York Street area King Kong attraction Video Vault (not the Film Vault) No fatalities but 3 firefighters injured Shame about the Back to the futures square but even more shocking it is now ghost whisperers actual town set, so who knows how this will impact the show next season. Aparrently this photo was taken before the fire spread onto the courtyard which you can see the 2 statues, so sad:( Just thank god no one was hurt! and no tapes were lost!

Luc Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I don't know why, but it looks so sad, yet so beautiful in a way (because of the statues), don't ask me why, but it does . I know they said nothing irreplaceable has gone, but it's hard to replace history... I did a bit of research on Courthouse Square, and found out it was originally called Mockingbird Square, because the courthouse was used to film the infamous court scene, and some exterior shots.

(1959) Inherit the Wind (1960) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) The Music Man (1962) Bye Bye Birdie (1963) Village of the Giants (1965) How To Frame A Figg (1971) The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (1978) Psycho II (1983) Simon & Simon (1981 - 1988) Knight Rider (1982 - 1986) The New Leave It to Beaver (1984 - 1988) Gremlins (1984) Back to the Future (1985) Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (film) (1988) Back to the Future Part II (1989) Sneakers (1992) Weird Science (1993) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1994) Three Wishes (1995) The Nutty Professor (1996) Jingle All the Way (1996) Escape from L.A.

carmelle Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 It's true...even if nothing "irreplaceable" has been lost it's not possible to replace the history that is now forever gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceve Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I just saw on the news that it was started by some of the workers. They were using a blow torch to heat some tiles and the flames spred when they went on their lunch break. So sad about all the sets though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
