Fire at USH..... - Page 5

CoasterMatt · 06-01-2008, 05:50 PM

Well, in my sick mind, whenever they go to show footage of the fire today, I keep thinking of the scene in the Backdraft attraction - "If you see fire trucks, get out of the way- they're not going to the movies"

Don't know the source or validity but JeffG at MousePad commented on reports that among the replacable video stuff in the video vault was also space rented to Universal Music Group and lost are a number of original masters from MCA and Decca records that would not be so replaceable.

if thats true... then it might be a sad day for the record as well as the radio industrys pending what masters they were storing in there...

Fox is showing video of a roof collapsing as well as an explosion with something flying through the air.

Don't know if this was Jeff's source but here's Nikke Finke's blog post. Sometimes she's full of ****, though, and I'm not finding anything on Google News yet.

Includes this sentence:

Quote:

...inside the video vault that was billowing thick black smoke were 1000's of original Decca, MCA, ABC recording masters from the last century including a wide range of music from Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters to Judy Garland and The Carpenters.

wow, that is a "wide range of music."

I was on the plane and caught it on the news. I'm just hoping everything and everyone is okay. No matter what, it's a loss... let's just hope enough things were preserved elsewhere.

I'm being reminded of how worthless some scumbags posing as humans are.

I have been cussed at 3 times this morning, because of a fire on the backlot.

Before work today, I walked to the back of the park, and the burned area looks like a warzone- but other than King Kong and the video vault, the facades will be rebuilt pretty quickly- and might make the studio tour extra interesting during the reconstruction.

I was wondering about this. There were ~~people~~ asshats on the news last night saying how US "let them down" and "lead them on" about the park opening. I just wanted to reach in the TV/radio and smack them!

People are so self centered. USH is first a working movie studio, then a theme park. That was ON FIRE. They should be happy it was open to the public today.

The air quality was really bad, I'm surprised they even considered opening it yesterday.

CM, I'm sorry you have to deal with the self centered asshats
