tourist attractions were lost...

昨日、チョコッと触れたUniversal Studiosですが・・・思った以上に被害が大きくなったようですね。びっくり!!9人の消防士達が負傷したって。
“The Sting”で使われたNew York Cityのストリートから火が回って、“Back to the Future”を見た事がれば絶対知っている、あの時計台のあるthe Town Squareまで燃えてしまったとか・・・。それに、トラムツアーの目玉のKing Kongを操作しているビルも焼けてしまったとか。。。
Universal Amphitheaterで行われるMTV Awardsもスケジュール変更になったらしいです。

Hollywoodに住んでいる知り合いのアパートからも、黒煙が見えるって!Universal Studioは山の向こう側にあるから、煙がHollywoodから見えるって事は、やっぱり相当な火事だったんでしょうねぇ～。早く復活できる事を願います。

I glanced about Universal Studios' blaze. It was more extensive than I had expected. What a shock! Nine firefighters and a sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries.

The fire spread to wooden mockups of buildings and destroyed huge chunks of movie history including sound stages, the Town Square seen in the "Back to the Future". The alley made famous in "The Sting", and much of the New York City street scape. It also burned through the building that housed a mechanical King Kong!!! That is the popular backlot ride.

According to my friends who lives in Hollywood, they can see black smoke. If you have been to the Universal Studio, it's located on the mountainside, and it's not neighbor. However, they could see smoke!! That means it was terrible blaze. I hope it makes renovation soon.
