Universal Studios in Los Angeles had a huge fire break out on site exactly 13 years after the previous flare-up. The fire was centred around the under-construction ‘Despicable Me%u2019 figure, according to the video, which is being widely circulated on social media.
A woman present on site claimed that she heard explosion sounds before the yellow-minion figure swooped by flames. She initially thought that the smoke erupting from the fire were rain clouds.
According to reports, the towering inferno that had erupted at the set could be seen from miles away.
