- Before and after footage has shown the extent of damage caused to Maui's historic town of Lahaina after wildfires swept through last week.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green says the fires are the "largest natural disaster in Hawaii state history" and that 80% of the beach-front town is "gone".
Satellite images have shared the scale of the damage and rubble where businesses and homes once stood.
At least 96 people are now believed to have died as a result of the fires which spread across Maui.

I pray for healing for the families and friends of Hawaiian. It just so sad 😢
Holding your hands together and talking to yourself like a mental case won't do any good, actually donate!
@@treasuretrailsthat was rude. Just because you don't pray doesn't mean somebody else doesn't My guess is you didn't donate a dime. You're just busy. Trolling😮
Pray to zeus
God bless you.
Your prayers are worth more than all the money in the world!

So very sorry, having lost much to fire myself. I'm sad that I never got to visit, as I always wanted to come & to listen to your stories & music, but I often took comfort in just knowing paradise existed. Hopefully, your community can rebuild and thrive once again.
I suggest that every country must build more strips of isolation to prevent the wildfires spreading at a certain interval in some vulnerable regions of fire.
@@siusamho3599the lack of fire control measures & many cases of arson are a major problem coupled with an ever expanding population moving in to forested areas.
Ditto that😢😢😢
Praying for Hawii🙏🏻 from S.Korea🇰🇷
Something very wrong about this fire !
Strange how there are more burned buildings than burned trees.… even when they are right next to each other the tree somehow survives.… leaves and all.
It's sad to see such loss. A land which was also birthed by fire is somewhere I don't think I would want to live on. The big question now is the cause of how the fire started. We know that the wind was the reason for it to spread at such a rapid pace. I wouldn't be surprised if an electric bike or car battery was faulty.
Absolutely devastating its so surreal and catastrophic 😢

@-nyByu Did you see that local girl who came online and spoke up at how suspicious the fire was? That it came from the East that is not possible and that the authorities, at the time did not allow help to come through? I think her short post has been taken down, but ...thoughts?
it's a small fire on a small island with only a village burned. This is not 9/11
The fire moved too fast. There was no time to put out the fire in time to save lives. They dropped over 100’000 gallons the next day but it takes time to fight these types of fires. The problem is one road. That is why we need more roads out on all the islands
Don't believe what they tell you, this was done on purpose.
All that water, it's a shame that they couldn't use it to put out the fire. RIP.
Bot that simple
No alarms were set off - I hope the person in charge of that system can live with that - they are going to try to put the blame anywhere but where it belongs - they have failed the people on Maui.
I pray the insurance companies pay out enough for these folks to rebuild and not be forced to sell to the wealthy.
Hope they catch the people who started it.
Unlikely since there's no suspicion of anyone starting the fire.
It was a natural disaster.
@@HeatherRose2023it was not
@@HeatherRose2023you can’t tell us that when trees are still standing and there weren’t any alarms
@@ashel_kolasinski trees always stands after a wildfire... maybe you should go out of the city once in a while. Trees are full of water even when other shrubbery is dry and flammable.
And Hawaii has lots of wild fires... this isnt weird or unlikely.
I wish I lived in your fantasy worlds where disasters dont happen and its always just people doing them because natural disasters dont exist haha
Im heart sick for the people of Hawaii, Maui was our family vacation destination for 20 years, spent many months in Lahaina. I can NOT wrap my head around this devastation for the families of Lahaina. The building can be replaced its the hearts that beat no more that is so devastating. Words can not convey the horrid scene.
Have you heard them? "Tourism caused this. Get these tourists out of here". These people hate outsiders.
@@robbieogle8622 tourism is 80% of their economy. Right now I can see tourists not being welcome due to this tragedy unfolding but the people of Maui don’t hate tourists. Reframe your thoughts there.
@@robbieogle8622 Then they are clueless on the importance of tourism for the Hawaiian economy.
bro it was caused by broken power lines due to hurricane Dora... get your info right, and I have family in Maui too@@robbieogle8622
dont listen to this bot...
@@soundscape26
The people that have lived in that area in Maui for decades have sadly lost their entire community - there is nothing to go back to. That landscape of small homes will never look the same - it will be replaced with hotel after hotel. Maui will be changed forever.
No shit sherlock! Why do you think the fires happened? It certainly was not the climate
generationally owned properties with no rents or mortgages sought after by big cooperations for years, now wait to see insurances not pay out!
Suspicious to say the least!
Black Rock has plans for this area for years .
Houses burned down, but trees remained intact? It is very strange
DEW
I've even seen a plastic kids playhouse in the middle of a backyard intact while houses and everything else around it was burnt to the ground into nothing but a pile of ashes. I mean how is that even possible?
This is so sad
Seen some of the pictures already…there’s nothing left but metal, everything else has burnt
Look closely. Trees are still standing.
@@cindygardner5864yep how does that work?! This situation is mysterious
Mmmm, yes, apart from the trees. Funny that. Money and corruption strikes again. 96 dead my arse.
Pray for Maui Hawaii!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I suggest that every country must build more strips of isolation to prevent the wildfires spreading at a certain interval in some vulnerable regions of fire.
Whilst working for Royal Caribbean Cruise lines I made several dozen visits to Lahaina on legend of the Seas in the early 2000's. I absolutely loved the place and it is so sad to see the devastation of such a beautiful town.

Hey bbc, are you guys trying to tell me the fires crossed the sea and burnt those churned boats?
Man made fires bro ..man made …
Same in Hawaii as in Greece ... arson, there sure are some evil people out there.
@@martinwebb1681 No signs of arson yet.
@martinwebb1681 yep probably the globalist putting these fires to make laws
Flying embers.
Those so-called-leaders should step down immediately from their positions. 😡
why? you think the president personally oversees the installation and maintenance of hawaiian emergency broadcasting systems? There are people at fault but it does not reach that high up.
It goes up, yeah, but not that far.
with it being the most fatal fire yet its gonna get a looooooong investigation.
Pray for Hawaii 🙏
Why? God clearly wanted them dead and those alive to suffer. I mean he is all powerful right and made all this...
This hurts my Heart for the people, I know how they feel, My town burned down with our homes, in a fire, in Paradise ca 2018, 86 dead. You lose everything you ever had, watching the fire and knowing what they were going through was hard to watch, the elderly starting from ground zero, like me and my Husband, its not easy, sending so much Love and Prayers♥♥
Extent*?
This!
Esptine island
Yup. Tons of rapes there.
808 area code. 8-08-23 Maui fire storm 🤔.........

Amen 🕊️💖🙏
The one thing i learned when living in Australia for many years was when a wild fire is still miles away grab you family and pet's and get gone...its incomprehensible to me that so many people died when the ocean is right their...not a mistake Hawaiians will make twice i hope!!.❤️🇺🇲
Didn’t the fire block entrance to the ocean
The GOVERNOR is liable ⚠ The ONLY reason so many people died is because the coastal alarm didn't go off. The Governor knows the Truth.... 2 people had control to start the alarm... Those 2 people went on vacation... There needs to be a Trial.... The fire killed people but failure to start the coastal alarm is the reason people couldn't escape quicker. ⚠ We all see the videos.... the fire didn't travel 1 mile per minute.... that's a poor excuse..... trying to build a story... The truth is, the Governor knows the Truth... and did NOT say it. ⚠ The Governor should leave Hawaii and resign asap. We don't want to see him here anymore.
That was Good, Respectful reporting
Really, there's no such thing and there is so much BS woven into this report.
So devastating it’s just horrific those poor people
Shocking!! For obvious reasons I wish Maui was like Chillingbourne. 💔💔
Plz prey for Hawaii
My heart is with you all in Hawaii 😢💔 is there a organization we can give funds to for this matter? I definitely want to give anytime I can. If this was me, I know I would not want to be forgotten. Thank you for the informative video and thank you for everyone who is giving the best the can
The before and after really mirrors the respective current moods. From bright blue and sunny, to dark grey and gloomy. I mean even the water refuses to be blue in the after shots. Whether or not that's cloud cover or ash that still in the water is unclear.
Time pass time heals 🙏
Fires moving at 60 MPH ??!!!
You need to remove the red banner on the lower part of the screen!
Dose anyone wonder how trees could still be standing ? It's a clue to real reason for fire.
No, those who know about fires don't find anything so special. They are standing but dead.
trees are full of water even when the shrubbery around them is dry as tinder.
what do you expect? everything to just vanish and crumble when it touches fire?
go outside, grab a branch from a good tree and try to light it on fire. Not that easy.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 Thanks for that even though I suspect many won't learn anything and keep asking stupid questions.
@@soundscape26 Conspiracy theorists pushing the Qanon agenda. I've been observing their patterns - they never reply in the affirmative. It's sickening and disruptive.
@@soundscape26 what's a direct energy weapon? How does metal react to microwaves vs plant material?
Mick Fleetwood restaurant burnt down too
They are only now beginning to search inside the structures.
How did the boat get burnt? Concrete and metal incinerated yet vegetation remains intact? This is no wildfire, this is the result of a direct energy weapon.
wierdly its like all the poor peoples homes disappeared, leaving the 15 minute clear up.
poor people??? There??? Yeah I bet the seaside jetty buildings were all owned by the poor. keep dreaming.
Very sorry. How they feel!
this is horrific , may God be with you people man ❤
So sad 😢🙏
Worse things are yet to come unless people would repent
Exactly
wont change a thing
😟😢 so very heart breaking
How does a bus in the middle of the water become burned and melted like that exactly?....makes no sense
I preferred it before the before picture.
Alarms did not sound. Why?
"build back better"?
My heart aches for the loss of family members and total loss of homes jobs and schools of the people ❤
Love and aloha to all. Malama Lahaina, malama Maui. We have loved her, now let's help her. Hawai'i Nei.
well done, graphics dept.!
Before the arsonist attack and then after !!
Why do you think there's an arsonist when no evidence points to that?
@@soundscape26
It’s more likely to be based on the Italian accidental fires. Did anyone see a motorcycle being used just before this attack ?
@@soundscape26 Where's the evidence of a wildfire? Trees and vegetation survived (in case your eyes don't work)..
May everyone be rewarded according to his deeds, everyone will receive what he deserves, Justice will prevail.
Strange how the trees are still standing along with anything plastic, but anything with metal seems to have been obliterated...🤔
Sending healing thoughts, love and all our support to Maui. 🙏🙏🙏

This is huge. Tragic, the death toll is going to be much higher than 96. I hope to god this wasn’t done in malice
Speechless🙏🙏
Ironically the state governor has met and talking rebuilding to new green development initiatives while there is already approved proposed land development along west and south shorelines of Maui and the flames are just barely been put out and dead haven't even been fully recovered yet.
Kind of odd, isn't it, like it's already been planned out for.
Unbelievable!
But no one would have been surprised if it was a volcano or hurricane
It has the Santa Rossa Coffey Park look about it 5 years ago California
Please read the document or watch a video about the leaked document "silent weapons for quiet wars"

I can't imagine being caught in that inferno and choosing to jump in the shark infested ocean at night to escape the heat. Just speechless
The water is not shark infested.. I use to paddle board and surf there and lived there for 4 years on Front street...
Heat from what?
Thank you 🙏 🌹🙏
Are they displaced or are they homeless 🤔
Both, they lost their homes and the infrastructure around them, so even I they managed to rebuild the houses in one day they wouldn't be able to live there.
Definitely both and our President is on vacation saying “no comment” when asked about this. It’s abysmal.
Maybe if the Russians did it then they’d get some actual help and empathy 😢
Why haven't we sent billions$$?! We give it away to other countries like it was nothing. Unbelievable.
Do what they did in Australia, use concrete and steel power poles.
Nothing short of disgraceful. Hawaii was known for their love of nature. Now look at what’s happened. Kicked out of their own homes and had it torched to the ground. Hawaii will most have to rethink it close alliance with the US territory’s.
Extent.
I don't think this is an old british and New british language difference this time around.
Again, BBC hired someone who thinks extent is the same as extend.
And I bet they aren't the dumbest writer in the building, modern media is something else 😂
The remaining people honor those who perished through the Old Way. Out of tragedy, something beautiful of tradition comes out. This is Indigenous Way of Hawaii, and all Indigenous of the mainland. Out of sadness, the Ancestors' Way manifests. Even in sadness, again.....May the Wakan aid them in this time, My Sisters and Brothers.
Hoka He.
Really? I see that even Hawaiians on Lahaina are now questioning why there is little to no help coming from Oahu.
Why the only supplies being ferried in are from volunteer boats and not from those in power on Oahu via 20 minute helicopter rides.
Only today are the first soldiers being seen at Lahaina. It's a disgraceful response by the state in aiding its people.
What is going on there?
@@markcynic808 Because the military are ruled from Washington, and I don't think they have ever cared for the PEOPLE of Hawaii unless they are able to make money for those in the mainland.
@ABC1701A
Nonsense. That still leaves about 25,000 personel of the Hawaiian National and State Guards under the direct control of Hawaii. What are they doing?
Trying to apportion blame to others yet again.
the British broadcast channel can't even get English right 😒 "extend of damage" think auto-correxton had a part to play omfg
It should not be lost on anyone that this event occurred ,in time-frame of hiroshima..nagasaki atomic events Aug 6th and 9th.
Yes..but it involves a tsunami originating from del fuego landslide in canary islands...this sends tidal wave to major cities ineast gulf coast..Miami is a target I believe.
Washington d.c is being set up for such an event as Hawaii I feel that's why it is closed off..a major naval port on east coast may be such target....delaware...shipyards maybe.
You might say that HAWAII HAD ITS SECOND PEARL HARBOR from globalists and china
So sad 🥺😥😞 Hawaii can be rebuild and start all over 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤❤
Birth pangs! Look up.
Jesus coming any minute now!
Now do you understand how the residents of Donetsk feel being bombed for 9 years???

Why do you have such draconian speech laws in your nation? Why are you against freedom of speech?

@@Rusty84CV very true in a legal aspect except the US but, the left is trying their best to change that unfortunately
Please don't send money. These people all had insurance and most were likely millionaires. They don't need your money. Thanks.
Extent, not extend
Oh geez. 🥺🥺
This was not natural at all. Maui is another victim of greed.
Jesus we need you
Public Restroom wooden building is still standing just in front of Lahaina Harbor.
And trees are still standing. It's a clue of real reason for fire.
@@cindygardner5864 It was a manipulated fire using DEW. Maui has been designated for future Smart City controlled by AI. Destruction & Construction is their tactics for centuries. They block the road to Lahaina to investigate the effect of their DEW and covering up the attack of their weapon. One survivor told in an interview "Police, Governor & Hawaii officials, Electric company trucks passed in front of me. But nobody tried to help me. I got a bottle of water from people not from Government rescue team." For Government, all the survivors are the targets failed to be killed.
Makes it look worse when you have a color picture next to a black and white. Hint hint....
Wow!!!
Amazing what you can do with a DEW
😂😂
Amazing people believe can possibly be natural
Extent of damage not "extend of damage". BBC journalists once knew how to spell proper like wot I does.
Wonder if this was all planned
😢
Lahaina is not about tourism. Local people lost everything.
There could be thousands dead
Thousands missing at the moment, so fingers crossed 🤞
Hands off Ethiopia
Wow that state of the art early fire 🔥 storm warning system is such a great selling point !!! Even a moron could operate it in an emergency !!!
God of your crosses doesn't help in the slightest but also perishes into ashes
