- This was a video I had made to document the forest fire I didn't really ever think about being possible. Shown are some pictures of my friends at the chimneys where the fire began along with pictures and videos from the night. Sara and her family who lived in Gatlinburg at the time were evacuated so they were not in danger, but the feeling all over the County was pretty intense as emergency personnel from all over the state arrived and the wind continued to howl.
The song is "They Move on Tracks of Never Bending Light" by This Will Destroy You and I am not attempting to make money or monetize this video.
I was there RIGHT after it happened!!!
I'm there RIGHT now
When they ended we went a week later and you could still smell the fire even if it was over it was so devastating
Killed who knows how many people
Murder.
This was really sad. Ever since 2014, I've made it a tradition to go to Gatlinburg a few days before Christmas. It's like my 2nd home. So glad the community rebuilt and now 5 years later, it's pretty much back to normal. I'll be there Dec 21-24 this year.
This incident could've and should've been prevented.
My family has owned property in Gatlinburg for 35 years.
We've ALWAYS ate at the Mountain Lodge.
That place will be missed in my life.
I was there today and the trees if you look at them you can see burn marks
Gabi Francis I went in august there are abandoned hotels on the mountains that are burnt
Kernal I did see some abandoned cars along the back roads
There still picking the debris TODAY it was that bad 🔥⛰🌲🌲
This is my home it's been 4 years and I'm still devastated I'll never get over this
I am very sorry for your loss.
I cried from my home in middle Georgia that November 2016 as I watched the events unfold
I am still bothered by it all.i can't even imagine what it was like for you and your family.so moved for your loss 💔
You should've seen the spur when it was burning later that night. It was on fire both sides almost all the way down. It looked like driving through the embodiment of hell
Alex Mccutchan crazy stuff man. I’ve seen some videos, but luckily my wife’s family that lived up there followed the voluntary evacuation out of Gatlinburg earlier in the day.
@@GraingerProductions Bro I was literally in Gatlinburg for a trip,a few days before this happened.
It had to be like driving through hell.that is what the videos look like.Glad you made it through.my heart still aches for all of those who suffered loss of life in every way
It's crazy how much more would've been lost if the rain hadn't started when it did. It just boggles the mind how close it came to being so much worse.
It was a total shock to see the area burning. I’ve vacationed and worked there number for times. Very awesome place all year around!
I know the untold stories and I cry as I watch this video
I cannot imagine. I’m very sorry for your loss.
THANK YOU FIREFIGHTERS! (From California)
Should of never happen they should of put it out when it was a small 🔥 but ooh no it cost to much well what about now and all lives lost and homes
heh i remember this i was 6 watching the news being a sad child
Yeah some idiotic kids did it
yep arrested but dropped charges 6 mos later... They are mad at judge.
How hell was there no warning and such a late response by workers. Unacceptable
Yeah, there were voluntary evacuations issued earlier in the day, but just hours before some homes were affected. And again, they were optional I believe until late that evening.
Local officials downplayed and covered up too much information. Hince the gag order placed due to "it was started by juveniles."
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I've seen, heard and read enough to know some of this could have been prevented.
Like Lahaina...
Just left there yesterday. You can see what forest burned. Still not as full as the rest of the forest in the area.
I was there about 6 mouths after it happened and the mountain sand still burned and h could see the black from the burning
I was there for that year and it was amazing to see the destruction. And the incomparable strength of the firefighters and their effort. God bless you
This was a really bad thing that happened, it wouldn't have happened is those teenagers wernt playing with matches or something....
Forest fires are natural occurrences though. While this one was started by kids. If a forest is totally left untouched, eventually underbrush and other natural fuel will build up on the forest floor. A lightning strike starts a fire that clears out all that underbrush and fallen leaves, limbs etc.. It has to happen for forests to grow. Actually redwoods depend on fires to make them grow. A redwoods seed is in such a durable nut that it takes fire to burn it off for the seed to get to the ground.
I’m so sorry it reminds me of the wildfires we get in california
NOT "wild" fires.
