Fire at Universal Studios

[Kenn Michael]

Heard a bunch of explosions, and about a million fire trucks barrel down the streets next to me...

I go up onto my deck and see this:

wish I had a faster lens on the Red, or at least build 16!!!

(don't mind the heavy JPEG compression)

Is this the first "breakins news" in 4k?

[Kenn Michael]

I guess so!

[C.H.Haskell]

wow...hope everyone is ok out there.

[Christopher Grant Harvey]

Just saw some of it on CNN, a warehouse burnt down and they lost some King Kong stuff and Back to the Future sets... no film masters thankfully...

hopefully this will encourage the studios to hurry up transferring films to digital so they can store them in multiple locations and extend their "shelf" life.
