(FOX NEWS) – Palisades Charter High School has been
engulfed in flames due to the wildfires raging in the
Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The burning property, a popular location for Hollywood
productions, has been severely damaged by the "Carrie”
(1976) and “Freaky Friday” (2003). The MTV series “Teen
Wolf” was also filmed there. 

The Los Angeles Unified School District announced
"Palisades Charter High School, an independent charter
high school, is not currently in session. Therefore, no
actions specific to students or staff are warranted at this
time."

(December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008)

Bo Diddley played a key role in the transition from
the blues to rock and roll. He influenced many artists,
including Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and the Beatles.      
 

His use of African rhythms and a signature beat, a
simple  five-accent hambone rhythm, is a cornerstone
of hip hop, rock, and pop music.

A fire at a grade school in Chicago killed 87 children and three
nuns on December 1, 1958; five more children later died as a
result of their injuries.

The fire originated in the basement near the foot of a stairway.

The Our Lady of Angels School was operated by the Sisters
of Charity in Chicago.

The disaster led to major improvements in standards for school
design and fire safety codes.

On November 8, 1962, the famous Ford Rotunda stood in
Dearborn, Michigan for the last time: the next day, it is
destroyed in a massive fire. Some 1.5 million people
visited the Rotunda each year, making it the fifth most
popular tourist attraction in the U.S. (behind Niagara Falls,
Smokey Mountain National Park, the Smithsonian, and the
Lincoln Memorial).

Ford had commissioned the Rotunda for the 1933 Century
of Progress exposition in Chicago and had moved it to
Dearborn when the fair ended.
