save the clock tower!

Whoa, this is heavy!

LOS ANGELES — When visitors wander through the back lot of Universal Studios on their tour buses today, they’ll miss some memorable sets of movies and TV shows, destroyed in a raging fire Sunday.

Much of Courthouse Square, where 1985’sBack to the Future was filmed, was destroyed. The movie’s iconic clock tower was severely damaged, and officials said it was too early to say whether it could be salvaged.

Fortunately, there is a solution:

Dr. Emmett Brown: [reads the "Save the Clock Tower" flyer and reacts with hope] This is it! This is the answer. It says here… that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04pm, next Saturday night! If… If we could somehow… *harness* this lightning… *channel* it… into the flux capacitor… it just might work. Next Saturday night, we’re sending you back to the future!
