He said it all at the end… there’s something really wrong with us!
He said: "if we forget about this, there's something wrong about us"
It took 3 years before California took wildfires seriously and now the last two years have been much better
Record rain fall helped that...
As a former firefighter, who grew up in hawaii, there are idiotic comments all in here. These fires happen all the time from downed power lines when there's 60 mile an hour winds.
In this case, there's videos of it starting from downed power lines. It wasn't a directed energy weapon and you all are crazy for not living in the real world.
If they, whoever they are wanted to start fires. There's a million simpler ways to do it then imaginary technology that hasn't even been invented yet. freaking space lasers, gtfoh
I saw that Norad has the record of a certain country's satellites being directly over each of the 3 fire locations right at the moment they started, then melted aluminum and glass. Stand-alone metal buildings burning down? How?
The BOTS finally showed up 😢😢😢 a little late to the comments…
Qanon college. They know…. They researched and learned from “experts”
@@Mister.Bone_Saw California has the same issue. It is ridiculously cost prohibitive to Underground power lines in Hawaii already has the most expensive electricity in the country.
@@notreally2406 fires melt aluminum in glass all the time. Don't believe me? Put an empty wine bottle in your oven.
And again, any country you could hallucinate about wanting to do this, has expats if not spies in hawaii. Hawaii is a huge Melting Pot with people from all over. It would have been far simpler to do it anything other than as yet uninvented space lasers. There are measuring lasers on satellites. But there is no technology yet that can have a viable space-based laser weapon. Even the so-called ground-based portable ones are very weak and can only really take down drones and they use very expensive bulky chemical laser systems. Look up some of the DARPA laser technology. It's not science fiction and it's not a conspiracy. You really need to take a deep look in the mirror at your own critical thinking ability or lack thereof
Water and land management. Where’s the water that used to water all that cane?
Privately owned.
Not really a drought when the resort areas are full of swimming pools and lush well-watered foliage. Why is the water there and not where it is needed the most?
About thirty years ago Fed land management agency had a a massive budget infusion called “Mel,” most efficient level. Flush with cash, land manager from Hawaii came out to western United States to learn (attend courses at training centers) and the best use of these new funds.
At these training centers which at the time I was attending also I spoke with these land managers and firefighters. They spoke of fire potential and urban interface in the very place Lahaina. Being in the path of future fires. It was talked about and never acted upon. Once the funds was gone the subject was pushed aside. The deadly fire was for scene by many who studied Hawaii fire potential in its leeward portion of islands specially.
Again it’s known potential yet no preventive measure taken.
By the way as a firefighter who has fought fire on coastal areas the sirens that’s been mentioned aren’t for fire warning they are specific to sunami warnings. From Santa Barbara down to San Diego emergency response agency use these sirens for sunami strictly.
give priority to the restricted areas where the houses are: if you don't restore the power and let people come back home, we will find the houses ruined not by the fire but because of you. We need water not only for the pools of the luxury hotels, but first of all for the fire
Hawaiian Electric Company has been neglectful over the years and knew of the dangers. Lines were sagging and loose and sparked during rain and wind. While the CEOs were getting Millions in bonuses, our electric Infrastructure suffered and the Lahaina and kula wildfires happened. The overgrown dry brush along highways and roadways are also neglected and uncut. One cigarette out the window and there's a potential catastrophe. So many failures lead to the devastation here In maui. We are all traumatized and not seeing much work in terms of prevention even now. Its just a matter of time before it happens again.
Harp ing about this is not enough. We need to take action.
After the June's 2017 big wildfires in Portugal, fueled by extreme weathear in hot and dry conditions, that killed 40 people, we thought it would not happen again. In that same year, in October, another 50 people died in several wildfires fueled by similar conditions plus the winds of hurricane Ophelia. Since them, authorities and population are more aware of the dangers, measures were put in place to prevent such disasters. Till today we haven´t had casualties nor as severe wildfires has in that fastidious year. Awareness is our best weapon.
As a Californian who visited Maui & Hawaii for the first time before the deadly fire, I was kind of shock to see all those dry grass in Hawaii while driving... looked like fire hazard (we have dry grass burning all the time). But I'm like it's a tropical island, so why are there so many dry fire hazard grass... wtf...???
Opened My Mind
Because lack of agriculture where it once had a lot of sugar cane and pineapples. With the changing times, these agricultural developments were removed to make up for residential and commercial development which results in much drier conditions when they control the water
But why did we never hear of these before?
We have heard of it for years but you have to be looking and listening in the right places.
2016 was the lat sugar cane harvest so this is all new
I guess, I’m all the way in PA
@@samanthab1923 Maybe the tubes that the news & internet shoot through are too short to reach all the way to PA. I guess I’m lucky to be on the west coast, the pigeons don’t have to fly as far to drop the news notes into the tubes.
@@S.E.C-R Hey I know Pennsyltucky has that hick vibe. Just my fault for not being up on all the weather going on in Hawaii.
If wef wants more land for smart cities
Your always going to have a problem when you have high winds and public utilities starting fires during those winds.
Invasive biological problems require biologic solutions to keep populations in check. Even a 97% effective chemical solution would allow 3% of a biological problem species to quickly regain foothold as it tries to out-compete it's chemical control. A better solution is to visit the ecologic region where the invasive plant co-evolved with natural predictors, fungi, bacteria, parasites, etc and to reintroduce those species to the ecosystem where the invasive grasses are causing problems. Islands are great places to experiment with control solutions.
We have the military that surrounds the 808 state. With plenty of resources
Is this an attempt to deflect blame?
Understand the dangers and prevent future catastrophes.
Why did stand-alone metal buildings incinerate?
MANAGE THE AINA WITH ALOHA & PONO!
OMG , they are going to fire that lazer , again ! lol
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH US:
It's All about: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$%
Funny ... how a grass fire can melt glass and turn buildings into powder, but not trees into ash.
Always be on offense
We all know hawaii was no wildfire!!
Where are the children?
WAS NOT A NATURAL WILDFIRE!
I live in Hawaii and during summer everything dries out and wild fires are common on all isles. This fire in Lahaina had more incentive to become worst than other fires but it happens naturally and unnaturally all the time and always has.
I live and work in Lahaina! It was definitely a climate change weather event. The wind from the outlining hurricanes turned a spark into a raging torch!! The wind was nonstop….. over 24 hours! The big wildfire we had on August 24,2018 was during hurricane Lane and it lit the whole mountain side up. It happened in the past, it happened in August, again….and it will happen again!! I hope you are prepared for disasters because they are more common now, and happening all over the world. 😊💙💋

Goats. You need 🐐
It came on them In One hour just like it was written.
God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
Of course it will happen again
Good for Adele. Is understood security is doing their job because of all the wackos out there, but if she extends HER hand to a fan, LET HER! Or am betting next time, you are ...
F🔥RED ?!
*DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON*
I swear to god every documentary has to include some stupid black and white video of the past lol
"wildfire"
Intentional fires
