A massive fire at a Los Angeles construction site the size of a city block shut down sections of two major freeways for hours early Monday.
Hundreds of firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out about 1:10 a.m. PT and could be seen for miles.
“This is a historic fire, what we as firefighters would call a career fire. It’s huge,” Fire Department spokesman David Ortiz told NBC News. “I really can’t remember a building fire this big and I have been with the department for 13 years.”
The fire, which shut sections of the 110 and 101 freeways, was being fed by wood framing at a planned seven-story, 1.3 million-square-foot luxury apartment complex.

Hollywood aliens invade here too, but not as often as NY or Tokyo.

ReplyDeleteI notice a similarity to the fire that enveloped an under construction apartment complex in SF not too long ago.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's any significance in that?
I dunno, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Occupy/anarchist/communist people aren't involved somehow.
DeleteI saw the same resemblance to almost fully framed mega structure on I-15 in La Jolla about 12 years ago. I think it was blamed on the ELF.
