This is True

Apparently Didn’t See the Movie

A Universal Studios Hollywood employee — an unnamed woman who normally works weekdays in the wardrobe department — discovered while leaving work on a recent Saturday that her regular exit gate was locked. Driving around the lot looking for escape, she started to follow a tour bus full of visitors, presumably figuring it would lead her to an exit. The bus then cut through the special passageway that was used to film Charlton Heston leading the Israelites through the parted waters of the Red Sea, and the woman followed. But upon reaching the end, the bus triggered a device to close the parted waters, trapping the woman and her car, much like the Pharaoh’s soldiers were trapped when they chased Heston and company through the gap. It took Hollywood’s Urban Search and Rescue unit an hour to rescue her. (Los Angeles Times) ...Better than being caught in King Kong’s grasp for an hour, I suppose.
