Fire on the Jumbo!
Fire on Jumbo.
yes remember it well. I think I had posted photos of the aftermath but will do so again.
Jumbo photos
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.
Regards, David
any film
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?
Noble House?
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?
Regards, David
Not Noble House
No, the Noble House one is set at night time, I remember daytime footage and always thought it was a James Bond film, but can't be sure.
