Huge repair bill following Universal Studios fire

Monday, 2 June 2008

Universal Studios in Los Angeles is facing a huge repair bill after a massive fire.

The Back to the Future set and a King Kong theme park ride were damaged in yesterday's blaze.

Bulldozers are removing burning videotapes and other flaming debris.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has said it could have a huge impact on film production but it could have been a lot worse.

'Although there was a lot of damage, it could have been a lot worse,' he said.
