Coverage[]
The Hollywood Sign is featured in The Capital Threat.
Starting in 10 years after people when Los Angeles is hit by wildfires, the Hollywood Sign is engulfed and its acrylic latex paint feeds the fire. While the W letter have collapse earlier before the wildfires, the 50-foot tall letters will survive the scorching fire. Although it look wooden from afar, it was made of steel.
Its fate is revealed in 50 years after people when the Big One, an earthquake measuring 8.0, hits Los Angeles. While the letter D falls off years earlier, the rest are about to come down. The earthquake shears off the corroded bolts that held the letters securely to girders sunk into the bedrock causing the letters to break free and fall off.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown why the W and D letters in the Hollywood Sign fall off earlier than the others. Unlike the W letter, the D letter is shown falling off in all of the season 1 intros with the exception of Armed & Defenseless.
