Those trees at 3:28 were the best Mango Trees in Lahaina, they were Hadens. My old home is completely gone. I used to sit under the tree in the driveway with a little table full of Mangos and sell them for 2$ a piece, 6 for 10$. That took care of my January and February expenses for a couple of years. So many memories of that neighborhood. Very sad.
So here's a story for you on your Mango tree.. First of all WTH is up with Hayden trees being killed this year?? I had a huge Hayden tree also.only one of them. Yes they were delicious every year. Huge car damaging size mangos for sure. So anyway. Tree is around ,90 years old.. Well we had one of the worst , and most violent lightning storms I've seen here in Florida in my 65 years here so far. Yepper. It got struck hard. Lightning went down the fence near the tree and killed a squirrel running on the fence at the same time . Then it jumped into a computer router wire buried next to fence and it shot all the way up to the road and blew out and fried the connection box on the pole and then went back the opposite way into my shop and home and blew the bottoms right out of the routers . There was metal plates falling out of them. 😅😅😅 So I'm pissed to because right now is the time I'd be eating the best mangoes ever. Bro if you've never made a mangoe pie, please try it .. I add about a half a can of crushed pineapple to it also... Little kicker of sweetness from the goddess😅😅😅 So that's crazy . Two Hayden's DOA IN SAME YEAR 3,000 miles apart.. bummer!! Mine is split in half and bark fell off . I know it's in heaven.but yours is salvageable POSSIBLY. I've seen forest fires here where they came back. So we'll say a prayer for yours anyway. . I have to find another one. They also have a hybrid Mango out called a pineapple Mango. It's delicious too tastes like pineapple. Crazy right. 🙏🙏✌️😎
@@tomstclair961 Thanks for the idea with the Mango Pie, I'll try it out someday. Unfortunatly, I dont think this tree will ever come back to life. The palmtrees on the side of the road and by the water might survive. When I hear aboout your tree, I feel very sorry for you, those Hadens are sooo yummy. But I also make knives, so first thing that comes to my mind, would be a nice kitchen knife for you with Mangowood handle. #olismesserschuppen
Very sorry for your loss. Lahaina Hayden mangoes were the best. My uncle Dallas used to send us a box of them every summer picked from my grandparents property in Lahaina.
Use to live on the corner there ,late 80s, 1391 front st,pink old house. Everywhere I lived and worked in Lahaina from 25yrs, gone😢. Sorry for your losses, glad you're OK. Aloha
I loss a good friend in that fire ! He was in bad shape when they found him at a junction. His name was even mentioned in d state parliament. I can never forget him as he had plans to come visit me d next year. Life... 😞
Oh, our Aussie fires were most deliberate and likely a test case for what was to come. I knew back then, no coincidences. This is an appalling way to wage warfare on a population.
@@louisecassidy5991 That is plainly BS. The New South Wales Bushfire Inquiry’s 460-page report has a table listing all the significant bushfires in the state during 2019/20. The table lists 32 major fires and finds that debris burning started three, power lines started two, equipment and a shredded tyre started another two, one was undetermined and all the rest (including the major Currowan fire) were caused by lightning strikes. And the number started by arson? None. Zero. Nada. Enough with the conspiracy theories!
Great video dude. Sorry about the tragedy, hopefully those politicians responsible for no warning alerts will be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law
Really? Seems you’ve come to some conclusions already. You are way smarter than me. Get over your anger please. We need to heal. Drumpf would have thrown paper towels.
The ones affected by their inaction or their actions are the only ones who can hold these people accountable. If they choose to do nothing then these criminals will continue to operate and destroy their lives.
Dumb comment. There is/was nothing our local politicians could have done to prevent this other than building a Time Machine and curbing climate change.
When people start looking back and review what actually happened, nothing is so valuable as this kind of evidence. Be aware that there will be plenty of people wanting to destroy this evidence. Stay safe and thank you for reporting this❤
No. The Outlet Mall was completely destroyed along with brand shops and the scammer cosmetics shops. Foodland also devastated. Safeway and Starbucks is damaged and fenced off now. Fire has no prejudices except against preparation.
Watching closely from Australia. We had our's in 2020, beginning dead set on New Year, and I was certain no coincidence. It is quite clear in this vid that certain areas/buildings were spared. DEWs I'd say, and I have no idea how ordinary people can fight these types of warfare. My heart goes out to you people. I am almost 76yo and pleased to be on the way out (but not yet), and not young with a family. Stand tall, stand up for your rights, folks. This vid brought me to tears. Evil at play.
Great footage man... it's crazy how objects everywhere are incinerated but trees hardly effected right next to them . This is not natural at all .Looks more like a war zone , not a wildfire ...
Very specific and directed, not like nature at all! Head's should roll! Good job on recording this painful devastating, hopefully evidence for the near future. Heart-felt 🙏 and greatest sympathy for all effected....
These weather manipulation control were soo proud of the manipulation they did on Hurricane Hillary in California ,they used dew,and alumni seed together evil sh** 🔥🔥
It's amazing how the fires seem to "MAGICALLY" jump over certain homes and buildings leaving them unscathed and others just feet away are melted to ground.
You see that in every wildfire. The wind blown embers fall in random patterns and some houses suck the embers inside and those are ones that burn. Lots of embers means more opportunities for the embers to get inside. If one house burns it will produce enough heat to ignite houses that are standing very close to it. So you can have whole groups of houses that survived because the embers didn’t get inside that one house or the wind didn’t drop a lot of embers in that spot.
Thanks John for sharing these sober videos with all of us. We have traveled to Kaanapali every January for the last 7 years and we always eat, shop, and enjoy Front street. We are grieving this tragedy
Thanks for risking life and limb to give us some idea of the destruction. Something I found shocking was the shopping centers, Large parking lots with asphalt and the fire still managed to jump across and burn the buildings. Stay safe.
Right? Twisted metal is all that remains of gutted, melted buildings but the asphalt roads and parking lots separating them are as smooth as a baby's bottom. Not warped, bubbled, nothing. The roads are in better condition than Pennsylvania roads on a good day 😮
I didn’t see any molten metal. I made another comment about “melting” here. To avoid retyping it, please do a search on yield strength vs temperature and educate yourself. This is why steel beams and columns have fire proof insulation applied.
@@BuddyTobyTVBut there was molten puddles near cars. Early images all over the internet. So it's clear your yielding definition is misdirection, your not addressing the molten metal puddle pics available the next day which are now tough to find.
@@syashadeed7552 Aluminum has a much much lower melting point than steel. I haven’t seen any pictures of molten steel (yet anyways). Tires burn at incredible temperatures, hotter than coal. Definitely seems plausible vehicle tires could have melted aluminum components on a car. There is no deflection here. Science and engineering simply stated the facts. Look up long established and published structural and fire protection engineering guidance. You have to fireproof and insulate steel beams and structural components in buildings because heat will weaken them. Just because a beam resembles a spaghetti noodle doesn’t mean it melted, which many folks would think. It’s yielded. Yes if there id a puddle of molten metal out of a car, then obviously it got hot enough to melt. But you can’t make a leap to it being more sinister without first understanding the inherent properties of the materials. Making a baseless assumption off of a photograph is foolish at best.
@@BuddyTobyTVYou can CHATGPT your fake answers all you want Shill. Stop misdirecting. PUDDLES OF MOLTEN ALLOY WHEELS in HUNDREDS of photos. So stop with your intentional sociopathic lies and misdirection. That is insulting to the people who are suffering.
John, thank you for the videos. You're the 1st video that identified landmarks, streets, and businesses. The sad part it's mostly unrecognizable. Happy to see Mala made it through the fire

Please archive this to protect any potential evidence of the burn pattern or its timing, before, during and after. People are being told to take down these videos and delete them (essentially, the evidence) by officials. Keep copies offline. It is a civic duty that one can be proud of doing.
Praying for our brothers and sisters on Maui. The world is waiting and watching the relief aid the government will give to the folks of Lahaina..or lack of aid. Regardless we are all watching and praying for you ♥️❤❤
@stormysyndrome7043 and neither is yours. The white paint for crosswalks, turning, lanes, etc. aren't even chipped or bubbled. That is some amazing paint!
WoW! Just unbelievable 😳 I'm shocked looking at all of the devastation 😔 Thoughts love and prayers to everyone 🙏 ❤ i can't even imagine what these people endured. The horror of this will be with them forever. ❤😔
What total devastation!!! Shows what wind and fire can do. Our prayers go out to all those suffering. Thanks for taking the time to show us what it really looks like after this terrible disaster.
Exactly, metal and buildings destroyed to nothing, cars burned as if bombed, but trees ok and ive seen some with leaves still on??? How on earth does that happen??
Watch the movie Backdraft. Ron Howard did an amazing job showing how crazy and unexpected fire behavior is. He seems to put a lot of research into his movies and I’m sure he did with that one as well.
Because the signs don't have leather seats inside or gasoline or plastics to ignite. It's just plain metal, which isn't flammable. Metal signs on burnt out buildings or inside would've been charred badly because they would've been sustained in active flames, unlike the signs which are just far enough away from the buildings to avoid being in the middle of active fire.
You’re wrong, the Heavenly Father knew what he wanted to destroy and not destroy, he is the Only One who can make this happen and when he’s finished he turned off the fire.(Don’t get it twisted)
Thank you so much for this video. One of my favorite restaurants Mala Ocean Tavern and my Safeway/Cannery Mall came through ok. I am so glad. I cry tears every day though for the parts of Lahaina that are gone and what all the people are going through. We were just there in March.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I was able to see that Lahaina Roads condos at 1403 Front Street is still standing! So happy about that. We’ve stayed there many times over the years and it holds a special place in our hearts. But the devastation in Lahaina is unbelievable. Thanks again for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing we have been so worried about everyone. I know it's too soon but I believe it will be beautiful again and most all the loss of the loved ones somehow there will be comforted.
Tree itself is made of damp wood and very thick. Steel was surrounded by very dry wood or flammable building materials. The fire burned very hot and fast. That’s why large trees still stand and small ones are not. And why steel yielding and the buildings failed.
Can you see if there were downed trees on roads? Why did they close off roads & lead traffic to front street then block it. Were there downed trees across Front St & the roads where people were trying to go down?
Melting is different than yielding. If you are talking about structural beams and such that are deformed and look like spaghetti noodles, that is yielding, not melting. Melting would result in a puddle of molten steel or aluminum or whatever. Yielding is when something is bent in a way that it will not return to its original shape and it can even be to its own weight. So if anyone says we’ll it takes this heat to melt steel or whatever and it can’t be caused by a fire, blah blah blah. It’s straight up false. There is a reason why structural steel must have a fire proof coating applied to it. The yield strength drops dramatically in high heat. In other words metals start to get soft and bendy. That doesn’t mean they are melting. Two, very very different things. So until you see a puddle of metal, no it didn’t melt.
I wonder how flammable fine aluminum particles are if they were, shall we say, sprayed from the air over years and allowed to accumulate on the ground? I also wonder how easy it is to ignite those particles with alternate methods of ignition? Another good question is if all these fine aluminum particles were burning, would they create a higher heat and more devastating fire? Maybe we will get lucky, and a good-hearted expert will read this and bless us with some of their super rare intelligence.
Mahalo for this. To the other viewers, to look at this, its mind numbing. But it really knocks you on your butt when you look at Google Street view and see what it was before the fire. At the beginning of the video there is a mailbox, 1433 Front Street. I pulled up street view then rewatched the video, advancing down the street as the video does. OMG!!! 🤯. It will take months to go through all of this and try and find the people that didn't make it out.
Living trees are not as flammable as homes and buildings built from dead ones. They also are not filled with natural gas lines, polyester fabrics, carpet, curtains, and hazardous materials like buildings and cars are. Buildings burst into flames because of the aforementioned things, whereas living trees burn much more slowly, and some will survive even if they look charred on the outside.
Asphalt doesn’t melt. The bituminous cement or asphalt holding the rocks together itself is is somewhat considered a liquid if you can believe it but is sooo thick that it essentially becomes solid. Anyways, hot asphalt becomes flexible but it would need a lot of sustained heat to get to that point. The ground is a fantastic insulator so odds are only the top layers got hot and there probably aren’t many spots where it would have been damaged.
@@BuddyTobyTVasphalt may not melt to disintegrate but it definitely will buckle, warp or at least bubble. And what about that fantastic white paint that looks like it was freshly done yesterday? Crosswalks, turning lanes and even perfect white parking lines in lots with cars inilated 😮
@@jickie511 I’m a civil engineer and have been in this industry for almost 20 years and I have never once seen or heard about “bubbling asphalt”. Heck just look at any one of the 1000s of pictures of lava flowing over asphalt in Hawaii. Check and see if you find what you are saying what happens. Keep in mind molten rock is way more dense and heavy than any car. It will only warp if heated the whole way through to over 400-500 degrees and then have something heavy drive over it, and a passenger car or truck isn’t going to do it. So yes perhaps the top 1/2” got that hot but it would need to be sustained for a period of time to heat it the whole way through. The ground is an amazing insulator and heat sink. Also the volcanic rock in Hawaii is tough. Based on what I saw from the flames, that there wasn’t enough flammable material over pavement to heat it to that point and it didn’t persist long enough. This fire was pushed by 40-60 mph winds. I’m not sure what you are talking about with the road paint and crosswalks. I’m not aware of them being flammable… also let me know what you find about them when you do an image search for lava over roadway. Conspiracies are appealing and fun to explore but I have yet to see evidence of one here. I’d rather focus my attention on the people and families who lost homes and loved ones.
My mother is your neighbour in Kaanapali and sent me your site. God Bless the people and critters of Lahaina.😢❤do you mind if I share this on Facebook?
With the deliberate holding back of emergency water and lack of alarms plus school being cancelled without notice,all adds up to a crime committed by many people! Those that changed property rights are at the very least in need of criminal investigation! All the vultures trying to buy the land should be banned from holding land in the area. This smacks of the new world order and their build back better.for who? Why "them" of course ! All need stripping of any property they hold on the island,may true justice visit" their "homes ,families and properties.
My best friends growing up were Durkin awesome! So tragic I am speechless at this tragedy all across the board 😢many prayers to the families and loved ones who lost everything, one could not fathom the terror and stress.
Hi from France ! God bless yours and island’s people! I’m following your sadly travel through this horrible devastation in your city...just two questions: where are firemen and policemen nowaday, I can see little fires here and there and nobody in the neiborough? And from what place this big fire came? Fields?
At that moment there were no first responders in Lahaina town. No rescuer or other activities. I believe the first responders were over whelmed and there were still some wild fires above the town.
Great footage! I would like to know how this wildfire was able to destroy homes, but not trees or the block walls between the houses. I would like to know how any wildfire can magically jump across that entire Front Street without burning that entire road, trees, and other stone separator walls, and just target the houses on the other side of the street?
It happens in every wild fire. Because of winds and because buildings are flammable unlike living trees. People think of trees as being the most flammable things on earth, but it's only after they're dead and completely dried out that they're flammable. Look at photos of any wild fire in history though and you will see the exact same pattern. Homes burnt to ash because of everything inside such as polyester, faux leather, gas lines, plastics, curtains, carpet, laquered woods, paper products, etc...The most recent super fast moving fire was in Boulder. The photos will show trees still standing in between houses because they simply are not as flammable as the dead wood that homes and buildings are made from. That's also why some bigger stores may have been spared, because they are built with newer materials that are less flammable because there is less wood or no wood anywhere. And less windows. Such as the Safeway Grocery store.
As for the block walls, concrete is very much fire resistant naturally. It will get charred but not burnt to ashes. Parts of concrete buildings may crumble during fires because support beams will give out one by one and then the roofs and upper floors will cave in and any concrete hit by falling debris can get crumbled or shattered if there's enough weight. Metal is the same way, except for weaker metals like aluminum, which will burn in a super hot fire. And inside many buildings and cars it was super hot because of gasoline and other very hazardous, flammable items. Again, a tree is not exactly flammable unless it's dead or many of its leaves and branches have dried up. Yet you can still clearly see many burnt trees, they just haven't all fallen (though many have and many fell onto escaping cars trapping people inside even). It all has to do with how strong the winds were and how healthy and moist the tree was on the inside. The trees that fell over had very large, low hanging branches that were growing lopsided, so they were top heavy and eventually toppled. The other trees that were burnt too badly to survive will topple in the future in the next wind storm once the roots give way. So many will have to be cut down for safety.
^^^ shill spotted. EastmanEditing is an obvious shill in this comment section to deflect and misdirect anyone posing any questions regarding the mountain of suspicious aspects and anomolies to this "wild fire".
I am wondering if the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) are still readable in the burned out and abandoned cars and trucks. Might be one way to cross check missing people if those numbers can be read.
Watching ur video and its sad to say the least and full support to the locals battling thru this Just a question is the island running power thru smart power meters Just asking because the newer cars seem to have come to the fire but the older cars still have their rubber on the rims, just thinking if it has something to do with new computer chips aka wifi or smart link chips in newer devices A bush fire will burn everything in its path don't matter what it is, living trees or died trees and the burnt out cars are past the point of a car fire, that fire must of been bloody hot and add warm dry wind to the mix the temp of fire would of been hotter than a steel works processing plant, shit isn't adding up
Chemical fires are very hot, so are laser focused fires, this fire is very not normal wildfire. The things you’ve noticed, ive been wondering also, how could it be that hot in a car but trees right next to it not burned??
This is the first video I’m watching of Lahaina. I just couldn’t bring myself to see it. This is absolutely devastating. I feel so bad for everyone here who was involved. They have every right to hold our government accountable. FJB.
A tragedy in and of itself. But even worse learning of the police and governor closing the main escape routes! One cannot possibly see this any other way than intentional "scorched earth" policy -- and homicide -- to raise the land to ashes, and clear it of its people -- by one way, or another, while opening it up for investors. Another video (below) on YT showing the denial of the governor, and police chief, claiming that there were no road blocks close to the fires, make this even harder to take! We now know from local eye witnesses on the ground, who ran into numerous roadblocks in the town while trying to escape, that the claim of the police chief is completely untrue! The fact that recent information has exposed the police chief's double role, employed both as coroner and head of police, makes this even more suspect! A serious conflict of interests such as this, and conflict of allegiance, allows this man supposedly leading the police, to pass his own verdict -- as "acting coroner" -- on any fatalities and cover up any information without independent review; most importantly, Objective appraisal of the deceased found among the wreckage; the precise condition of their bodies, the contents inside their lungs (evidence of unusual and potential sources/triggers that may have caused the "hail fire" -- graphically described by witnesses in the video link attached to this comment. The fact that authorities were so quick to build this chain fence around the worst affected areas, and dense sheets to limit any perception of what is taking place beyond them -- or to prevent the community from seeing or noting anything unusual, suggests that they found this more of an imperative than actually bringing in adequate aid -- food, supplies, generators, clothes and communication technology etc in order to aleviate the mass suffering. The governor, police chief and mayor have a priority list -- but tending to the desperate citizens and lost children is not one of them! All eyewitnesses attest to this fact. This is clear by their actions, and their arrogance at the recent press conference. P,lease take a look at this! One can quite easily see -- via the most disgusting behaviour of the governor in this press conference -- the explicit tactics of aggression deployed in order to kill any pertinent questions about their decision to corral, and lock the people into, the key danger areas of this firestorm. Deliberately blocking off the main and most obvious escape routes placed -- at the very least -- one official signature on the death warrants of every single victim. The mayor, the police chief and the governor have the blood of so many innocents on their hands; including those infants and young children trapped in their own homes -- with not as much as the necessary fire alarms to alert them to the imminent danger they faced. Regardless of what weak excuses they try to use as justification for, at the very least, manslaughter, these improbable and frankly, unbelievable reasons offered for the absence of a profesional resonse to save lives, will never be acceptable. Due to their wreckless abandonment of due diligence -- and failure in their duty of care to the population -- these three men, at the very least, are clearly culpable in a mass homicide, either by direct involvement or by association within their own chain of command. Denying the urgency of triggering necessary fire alarms, and water, during such a catastrophic spread of fire, wind and thick smoke --- and then also to decide to block every viable escape route, is not exactly, to say the very least, logical; this double, and gravely serious crime, (one must be honest and call it precisely that) -- leaves it impossible to believe that this was merely incopetence. To be very clear: this is not a tragedy blurred by ambiguity. It is, demonstrably, in its scope of death and destruction, in its negation of professional and political responsibility, a genocide. My heart weeps for the innocents, and those left to carry on without their loved ones. Stripped of everything they cherished and owned: family, property, life savings -- and literally -- of the very shirts they had on their backs. With no positive, and impactful help, from the governor, or from Washington to quickly aleviate their pain, and with internet and modern communications mostly down, they even lack the capacity to contact loved ones elsewhere desperately waiting for news of their survival. To whom will they share their sorrow? ruclips.net/video/gYN4eYySHJs/видео.html ruclips.net/user/liveMJxWdP6aQp8?si=8hXL-qkCQEA82hms
This event is a classic evidence of the Necessity of Training the Whole Militia. This community had so many members who died because they were busy waiting for someone else to come and deal with the fire. Not because they were bad people, but because their parents and they had let themselves believe a lie. That some "officer" will always be around to keep them safe. I heard tape after tape of people in cars, expecting Firefighters and Cops to do the right thing. The reality was that the officers were far too few, and were poorly informed, at best. Train the Whole Militia, that's YOU.
How are there greenery on the trees with everything else around them burned? This shouldn't have ever happened and I pray for the people that have suffered such great loss.
It looks to me some areas had more support than others, I know nothing about this town but there are plenty places in America where certain towns have far superior municipalities than others, is this the case here? Just dont understand how a block away is perfect from the ashes.
Too many coincidences (spoiler - there are no coincidences!). The event occurred on 8.08. What is the area code for Hawaii? Yeah, you guessed it, 808. And did you know that the soda "Mountain DEW" has a flavor called "Maui Burst"? Many more I can list, but I'll spare you the TL;DR.
Pretty crazy how these new wildfires only burn cars and houses but not trees. This is a complete disaster! The people still aren't getting any help. 700$ per family Ukraine gets another 20 billion. Come on!!!
Nice pics of the roads = a drones give actual views that are revealing of the actual damage been nice to have had one in this circuit of those various areas revealing the extent of damage from a birdseye view...!
Credo che la compagnia elettrica e quella dell'acquedotto debbano essere indagate, come i mancati allarmi. A che serve fare specifica formazione sulla sicurezza se poi l'acqua non è presente nelle manichette?🥺

Then it jumped into a computer router wire buried next to fence and it shot all the way up to the road and blew out and fried the connection box on the pole and then went back the opposite way into my shop and home and blew the bottoms right out of the routers . There was metal plates falling out of them. 😅😅😅
So I'm pissed to because right now is the time I'd be eating the best mangoes ever.
Bro if you've never made a mangoe pie, please try it .. I add about a half a can of crushed pineapple to it also... Little kicker of sweetness from the goddess😅😅😅
So that's crazy . Two Hayden's DOA IN SAME YEAR 3,000 miles apart.. bummer!!
Mine is split in half and bark fell off . I know it's in heaven.but yours is salvageable POSSIBLY. I've seen forest fires here where they came back. So we'll say a prayer for yours anyway. . I have to find another one.
They also have a hybrid Mango out called a pineapple Mango. It's delicious too tastes like pineapple. Crazy right. 🙏🙏✌️😎

Strange how large commercial properties were spared, but small businesses and residential homes near are incinerated.
No. The Outlet Mall was completely destroyed along with brand shops and the scammer cosmetics shops. Foodland also devastated. Safeway and Starbucks is damaged and fenced off now. Fire has no prejudices except against preparation.
I absolutely see what you are saying..the industrial buildings un touched.

Funny also how grass and trees were spared....🤨

I am almost 76yo and pleased to be on the way out (but not yet), and not young with a family. Stand tall, stand up for your rights, folks. This vid brought me to tears. Evil at play.
Why is media not talking about how many children perished in the Maui fire
Maybe they were trafficked instead?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Great footage man... it's crazy how objects everywhere are incinerated but trees hardly effected right next to them . This is not natural at all .Looks more like a war zone , not a wildfire ...
Very specific and directed, not like nature at all! Head's should roll!
Good job on recording this painful devastating, hopefully evidence for the near future. Heart-felt 🙏 and greatest sympathy for all effected....
These weather manipulation control were soo proud of the manipulation they did on
Hurricane Hillary in California ,they used dew,and alumni seed together evil sh** 🔥🔥
It's amazing how the fires seem to "MAGICALLY" jump over certain homes and buildings leaving them unscathed and others just feet away are melted to ground.
YES the very high winds blow firey embers & debris randomly - and the DO jump!!!
@@jeanetteshawredden5643 yes you are related to Oprah Winfrey we know your home was spared
You see that in every wildfire. The wind blown embers fall in random patterns and some houses suck the embers inside and those are ones that burn. Lots of embers means more opportunities for the embers to get inside. If one house burns it will produce enough heat to ignite houses that are standing very close to it. So you can have whole groups of houses that survived because the embers didn’t get inside that one house or the wind didn’t drop a lot of embers in that spot.

Thanks John for sharing these sober videos with all of us. We have traveled to Kaanapali every January for the last 7 years and we always eat, shop, and enjoy Front street. We are grieving this tragedy
Thanks for risking life and limb to give us some idea of the destruction. Something I found shocking was the shopping centers, Large parking lots with asphalt and the fire still managed to jump across and burn the buildings. Stay safe.
Right? Twisted metal is all that remains of gutted, melted buildings but the asphalt roads and parking lots separating them are as smooth as a baby's bottom. Not warped, bubbled, nothing. The roads are in better condition than Pennsylvania roads on a good day 😮

Epic Failure at the very top government level. Needs an independent investigator.
Metal only melts at 2500 degrees.
Only microwaves have this kind of heat energy………..Why was microwaving energy used in Maui?
I didn’t see any molten metal. I made another comment about “melting” here. To avoid retyping it, please do a search on yield strength vs temperature and educate yourself. This is why steel beams and columns have fire proof insulation applied.
@@BuddyTobyTV 9/11 proves you wrong
@@BuddyTobyTVBut there was molten puddles near cars. Early images all over the internet. So it's clear your yielding definition is misdirection, your not addressing the molten metal puddle pics available the next day which are now tough to find.
@@syashadeed7552 Aluminum has a much much lower melting point than steel. I haven’t seen any pictures of molten steel (yet anyways). Tires burn at incredible temperatures, hotter than coal. Definitely seems plausible vehicle tires could have melted aluminum components on a car.
There is no deflection here. Science and engineering simply stated the facts. Look up long established and published structural and fire protection engineering guidance. You have to fireproof and insulate steel beams and structural components in buildings because heat will weaken them. Just because a beam resembles a spaghetti noodle doesn’t mean it melted, which many folks would think. It’s yielded. Yes if there id a puddle of molten metal out of a car, then obviously it got hot enough to melt. But you can’t make a leap to it being more sinister without first understanding the inherent properties of the materials. Making a baseless assumption off of a photograph is foolish at best.
@@BuddyTobyTVYou can CHATGPT your fake answers all you want Shill. Stop misdirecting. PUDDLES OF MOLTEN ALLOY WHEELS in HUNDREDS of photos. So stop with your intentional sociopathic lies and misdirection. That is insulting to the people who are suffering.

Great Job, John 😊👍💥 TQ for Sharing ... Take Care... Great Blessings Ever MORE 🙏💥
It’s weird how the signs (handicapped etc.) by the post office and other places are seemingly untouched, yet cars are scorched. Such heartbreak!
Because the signs don't have leather seats inside or gasoline or plastics to ignite. It's just plain metal, which isn't flammable. Metal signs on burnt out buildings or inside would've been charred badly because they would've been sustained in active flames, unlike the signs which are just far enough away from the buildings to avoid being in the middle of active fire.
@@EastmanEditingpeople have a real issue with critical thinking skills these days… truly unbelievable really!

Weird, how the trees are still standing yet steel buildings came down
Tree itself is made of damp wood and very thick. Steel was surrounded by very dry wood or flammable building materials.
The fire burned very hot and fast.
That’s why large trees still stand and small ones are not. And why steel yielding and the buildings failed.
Ye very interesting
And ive seen some trees still with leaves in some videos , right next to a obliterated building, house, cars
@@jamiecady3034yes literally right next to the burnt out buildings....
@@BuddyTobyTV bullshit , greenery and leaves not even touched in many places where incinerated objects are right next to

Thanks for the authentic video. Everything is ruined, everything is destroyed. Too terrible! When will everything be revived again...
Aluminum starts melting at 1200 degrees. Aluminum alloys require a higher temperature
Melting is different than yielding. If you are talking about structural beams and such that are deformed and look like spaghetti noodles, that is yielding, not melting. Melting would result in a puddle of molten steel or aluminum or whatever. Yielding is when something is bent in a way that it will not return to its original shape and it can even be to its own weight.
So if anyone says we’ll it takes this heat to melt steel or whatever and it can’t be caused by a fire, blah blah blah. It’s straight up false. There is a reason why structural steel must have a fire proof coating applied to it. The yield strength drops dramatically in high heat. In other words metals start to get soft and bendy. That doesn’t mean they are melting. Two, very very different things. So until you see a puddle of metal, no it didn’t melt.
@@BuddyTobyTV very interesting and great explanation for the layperson ..what about 911?
I wonder how flammable fine aluminum particles are if they were, shall we say, sprayed from the air over years and allowed to accumulate on the ground? I also wonder how easy it is to ignite those particles with alternate methods of ignition? Another good question is if all these fine aluminum particles were burning, would they create a higher heat and more devastating fire? Maybe we will get lucky, and a good-hearted expert will read this and bless us with some of their super rare intelligence.
@@BuddyTobyTV I'm talking about puddling not yielding. There are plenty of pictures of melted aluminum alloy tire rims.
@@1800imawake Do a search on powered aluminum or dust.
Mahalo for this. To the other viewers, to look at this, its mind numbing. But it really knocks you on your butt when you look at Google Street view and see what it was before the fire. At the beginning of the video there is a mailbox, 1433 Front Street. I pulled up street view then rewatched the video, advancing down the street as the video does. OMG!!! 🤯. It will take months to go through all of this and try and find the people that didn't make it out.

How can a fire be so hot that it turns metal into molten lava on cars/buildings...but does not turn trees into ashes?
It’s incredible the Hale Koa trees survive. Invasive plants.
@@IchimokuCloud Acacia are a fire resistant they just grow back from the stump.. One of the reason's it was introduced in the first place for cows..
Living trees are not as flammable as homes and buildings built from dead ones. They also are not filled with natural gas lines, polyester fabrics, carpet, curtains, and hazardous materials like buildings and cars are. Buildings burst into flames because of the aforementioned things, whereas living trees burn much more slowly, and some will survive even if they look charred on the outside.
D.E.W.'s look up John Trump
@@IchimokuCloud So if I was use "Hale Koa tree" for wood in the fireplace it would not burn?
This was so epic, so sad 😞. Thank you, Sir.
Why didn’t the asphalt roads not melt with such extreme heat
Asphalt doesn’t melt. The bituminous cement or asphalt holding the rocks together itself is is somewhat considered a liquid if you can believe it but is sooo thick that it essentially becomes solid. Anyways, hot asphalt becomes flexible but it would need a lot of sustained heat to get to that point. The ground is a fantastic insulator so odds are only the top layers got hot and there probably aren’t many spots where it would have been damaged.
@@BuddyTobyTVasphalt may not melt to disintegrate but it definitely will buckle, warp or at least bubble. And what about that fantastic white paint that looks like it was freshly done yesterday? Crosswalks, turning lanes and even perfect white parking lines in lots with cars inilated 😮
@@jickie511 I’m a civil engineer and have been in this industry for almost 20 years and I have never once seen or heard about “bubbling asphalt”. Heck just look at any one of the 1000s of pictures of lava flowing over asphalt in Hawaii. Check and see if you find what you are saying what happens. Keep in mind molten rock is way more dense and heavy than any car.
It will only warp if heated the whole way through to over 400-500 degrees and then have something heavy drive over it, and a passenger car or truck isn’t going to do it. So yes perhaps the top 1/2” got that hot but it would need to be sustained for a period of time to heat it the whole way through. The ground is an amazing insulator and heat sink. Also the volcanic rock in Hawaii is tough. Based on what I saw from the flames, that there wasn’t enough flammable material over pavement to heat it to that point and it didn’t persist long enough. This fire was pushed by 40-60 mph winds.
I’m not sure what you are talking about with the road paint and crosswalks. I’m not aware of them being flammable… also let me know what you find about them when you do an image search for lava over roadway. Conspiracies are appealing and fun to explore but I have yet to see evidence of one here. I’d rather focus my attention on the people and families who lost homes and loved ones.

Hi from France ! God bless yours and island’s people! I’m following your sadly travel through this horrible devastation in your city...just two questions: where are firemen and policemen nowaday, I can see little fires here and there and nobody in the neiborough? And from what place this big fire came? Fields?
At that moment there were no first responders in Lahaina town. No rescuer or other activities. I believe the first responders were over whelmed and there were still some wild fires above the town.
Great footage! I would like to know how this wildfire was able to destroy homes, but not trees or the block walls between the houses. I would like to know how any wildfire can magically jump across that entire Front Street without burning that entire road, trees, and other stone separator walls, and just target the houses on the other side of the street?
It happens in every wild fire. Because of winds and because buildings are flammable unlike living trees. People think of trees as being the most flammable things on earth, but it's only after they're dead and completely dried out that they're flammable. Look at photos of any wild fire in history though and you will see the exact same pattern. Homes burnt to ash because of everything inside such as polyester, faux leather, gas lines, plastics, curtains, carpet, laquered woods, paper products, etc...The most recent super fast moving fire was in Boulder. The photos will show trees still standing in between houses because they simply are not as flammable as the dead wood that homes and buildings are made from. That's also why some bigger stores may have been spared, because they are built with newer materials that are less flammable because there is less wood or no wood anywhere. And less windows. Such as the Safeway Grocery store.
As for the block walls, concrete is very much fire resistant naturally. It will get charred but not burnt to ashes. Parts of concrete buildings may crumble during fires because support beams will give out one by one and then the roofs and upper floors will cave in and any concrete hit by falling debris can get crumbled or shattered if there's enough weight. Metal is the same way, except for weaker metals like aluminum, which will burn in a super hot fire. And inside many buildings and cars it was super hot because of gasoline and other very hazardous, flammable items. Again, a tree is not exactly flammable unless it's dead or many of its leaves and branches have dried up. Yet you can still clearly see many burnt trees, they just haven't all fallen (though many have and many fell onto escaping cars trapping people inside even). It all has to do with how strong the winds were and how healthy and moist the tree was on the inside. The trees that fell over had very large, low hanging branches that were growing lopsided, so they were top heavy and eventually toppled. The other trees that were burnt too badly to survive will topple in the future in the next wind storm once the roots give way. So many will have to be cut down for safety.

Just a question is the island running power thru smart power meters
Just asking because the newer cars seem to have come to the fire but the older cars still have their rubber on the rims, just thinking if it has something to do with new computer chips aka wifi or smart link chips in newer devices
A bush fire will burn everything in its path don't matter what it is, living trees or died trees and the burnt out cars are past the point of a car fire, that fire must of been bloody hot and add warm dry wind to the mix the temp of fire would of been hotter than a steel works processing plant, shit isn't adding up
Chemical fires are very hot, so are laser focused fires, this fire is very not normal wildfire. The things you’ve noticed, ive been wondering also, how could it be that hot in a car but trees right next to it not burned??

This is the first video I’m watching of Lahaina. I just couldn’t bring myself to see it. This is absolutely devastating. I feel so bad for everyone here who was involved. They have every right to hold our government accountable. FJB.
A tragedy in and of itself. But even worse learning of the police and governor closing the main escape routes! One cannot possibly see this any other way than intentional "scorched earth" policy -- and homicide -- to raise the land to ashes, and clear it of its people -- by one way, or another, while opening it up for investors.
Another video (below) on YT showing the denial of the governor, and police chief, claiming that there were no road blocks close to the fires, make this even harder to take! We now know from local eye witnesses on the ground, who ran into numerous roadblocks in the town while trying to escape, that the claim of the police chief is completely untrue! The fact that recent information has exposed the police chief's double role, employed both as coroner and head of police, makes this even more suspect!
A serious conflict of interests such as this, and conflict of allegiance, allows this man supposedly leading the police, to pass his own verdict -- as "acting coroner" -- on any fatalities and cover up any information without independent review; most importantly, Objective appraisal of the deceased found among the wreckage; the precise condition of their bodies, the contents inside their lungs (evidence of unusual and potential sources/triggers that may have caused the "hail fire" -- graphically described by witnesses in the video link attached to this comment.
The fact that authorities were so quick to build this chain fence around the worst affected areas, and dense sheets to limit any perception of what is taking place beyond them -- or to prevent the community from seeing or noting anything unusual, suggests that they found this more of an imperative than actually bringing in adequate aid -- food, supplies, generators, clothes and communication technology etc in order to aleviate the mass suffering.
The governor, police chief and mayor have a priority list -- but tending to the desperate citizens and lost children is not one of them! All eyewitnesses attest to this fact. This is clear by their actions, and their arrogance at the recent press conference. P,lease take a look at this! One can quite easily see -- via the most disgusting behaviour of the governor in this press conference -- the explicit tactics of aggression deployed in order to kill any pertinent questions about their decision to corral, and lock the people into, the key danger areas of this firestorm.
Deliberately blocking off the main and most obvious escape routes placed -- at the very least -- one official signature on the death warrants of every single victim. The mayor, the police chief and the governor have the blood of so many innocents on their hands; including those infants and young children trapped in their own homes -- with not as much as the necessary fire alarms to alert them to the imminent danger they faced.
Regardless of what weak excuses they try to use as justification for, at the very least, manslaughter, these improbable and frankly, unbelievable reasons offered for the absence of a profesional resonse to save lives, will never be acceptable.
Due to their wreckless abandonment of due diligence -- and failure in their duty of care to the
population -- these three men, at the very least, are clearly culpable in a mass homicide, either by direct involvement or by association within their own chain of command.
Denying the urgency of triggering necessary fire alarms, and water, during such a catastrophic spread of fire, wind and thick smoke --- and then also to decide to block every viable escape route, is not exactly, to say the very least, logical; this double, and gravely serious crime, (one must be honest and call it precisely that) -- leaves it impossible to believe that this was merely incopetence.
To be very clear: this is not a tragedy blurred by ambiguity. It is, demonstrably, in its scope of death and destruction, in its negation of professional and political responsibility, a genocide.
My heart weeps for the innocents, and those left to carry on without their loved ones. Stripped of everything they cherished and owned: family, property, life savings -- and literally -- of the very shirts they had on their backs. With no positive, and impactful help, from the governor, or from Washington to quickly aleviate their pain, and with internet and modern communications mostly down, they even lack the capacity to contact loved ones elsewhere desperately waiting for news of their survival.
To whom will they share their sorrow?

This event is a classic evidence of the Necessity of Training the Whole Militia. This community had so many members who died because they were busy waiting for someone else to come and deal with the fire. Not because they were bad people, but because their parents and they had let themselves believe a lie. That some "officer" will always be around to keep them safe. I heard tape after tape of people in cars, expecting Firefighters and Cops to do the right thing. The reality was that the officers were far too few, and were poorly informed, at best. Train the Whole Militia, that's YOU.
