Does anyone else remember this? It was the most incredible fire. It engulfed the floating restaurant so quickly and so completely! Of course most of the structure was made of wood! Quite an incredible scene of carnage and it seemed to happen so quickly?

fivestar,

'Places' are a good way to find related photos - if you click the 'Jumbo Floating Restaurant' link above, it'll show you more photos of the restaurant, including the copy you loaded before.

My memory seems to be playing tricks but I could have sworn the fire was caught on film at some point and used in a feature. Does anyone remember which feature?

I remember the story had a scene where there's a floating restaurant on fire. I haven't seen the film version, but I guess it was included?
