Is this the same set as the one used in War of the Worlds?

In case you haven't been there this is simply the set of "War of the Worlds" being recycled at the Universal back-lot. It is on the tour for Universal and literally right around the corner from where they tape Desperate Housewives. Honestly, I think they are doing it because it is convenient more than any other reason. They don't have to do much but rebuild a few facades and make it look like whisperia lane (sorry about spelling I don't watch the show). Seems out of control shark jumping to me.

First a twister now a plane crash. Pathetic.

is that real or rumor? is that the street at universal studios? that is a drastic step in the show if its true.

Yup, that's the War of the Worlds crash set. I think it's kind of silly to claim that this is the "first pic" of the Desperate Housewives crash. These are simply pics of that crash set taken from the tram tour.
Take a closer look at the photo: I'd hope that when they actually film on the set they'll spread the debris around a bit more - it would be a magical crash indeed if the plane wreckage fell only on the front yard and somehow avoided the street pavement...

yeah, I was just there last week and they were starting prep. The reason the debris isn't on the street is because the tours still go through that street.

I really hate watching TV shows and not knowing exactly what happened. It would really suck if a major event such as a plane crash were to happen and I didn't know about it months in advance. So thanks to TV Squad for making sure that I am not the least bit surprised when watching this show.

...

Fuckers.

I could care less about this show, but it hasn't even been a year since flight 3407 went down here in Buffalo. I don't know what kind of show DH is, but I hope everything is done realistically and tastefully.

I'm from Buffalo, too and I know what you're saying. However, that happened here a while ago and this is a show filmed in California. I mean there have been a couple other in the air mishaps since then. The world just keeps spinning.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE SET OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS FROM UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!!!! I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THERE INFO STRAIGHT FIRST BEFORE PUBLISHING SOMETHING...

Yes, this is the 'War of the Worlds' set on the Universal tour and it has nothing to do with the rumored 'Desperate Housewives' plane crash which HAS NOT BEEN FILMED YET!

You gotta be kidding me, get your facts straight!

Desperate Housewives is getting to be just that - desperate. This season hasn't been it's greatest so far. They are using so many of the same situations that they have used before - a young man who seems to have some emotional and other issues - remember Zack from the first couple of seasons? And surprise, surprise - Susan's ex, Karl, is having an affair with one of the women on Wisteria Lane. A few seasons ago it was Edie and now it's Bree. And Bree as a woman having a steamy sexual fling just isn't believeable. She'd rather set a gracious table. Gabby's boy toy John is back and he STILL wants to play with her. Never learns, apparently. Lynette is pregnant with twins again. There are new neighbors who have secrets. Hello, Alfre Woodard and family? It seems like the writers and whoever else tries to get creative on DH have run out of new ideas. Now, another major castrophe is coming and there will be destruction. The tornado wasn't enough apparently. I love this show but it seems like the writers and powers that be can't keep it fresh anymore. Way too bad.

That is definately the WAR of THE WORLD set, from the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tram tour. (My husband drives the trams). This month, Universal is having "Halloween Horror Nights", with the "Terror Tram", and that set is now a walk through "Saw" maze for HHN, directly in front of those facades. That can't be a recent picture, because I was just there a few nights ago, and it's all decorated scary for "Halloween Horror Nights". That "street" that you see on the left in the picture, is where the tram drives through & stops during the regular daytime tour...
Wisteria Lane is usually closed during the weekdays when they are filming the show. My husband drove the tram through Wisteria Lane yesterday, and there are currently no signs of a plane crash (yet...)

When DH filmed the tornado, the trams bypassed Wisteria Lane, and the street was closed for months due to filming & cleanup...
