The guy at 0.24 sounds just like the 9/11 guy😅😂.."The building collapsed due to structural failure caused by the extreme heat for the jet fuel"..If yall don't see them. building a lie like they did on 9/11. You're just dumb. Sorry,but there's just no other word to describe ya..Just like jet fuel smoking black can't melt steel powerlines didn't cause these fires..
What an utter nitemare- As a country we need to put way more attention to fire prevention -Powerlines are at fault way too much.
The government could have used different means to aquire land than all of this.
Hopefully it’s natural cause n not something malice or human errors!
Like always! No rich or politician died just like during the pandemic! The rich are immune to death and diseases
Don’t worry! Biden game them 700 dollars 💵!!! 👀
Ask the rich and Oprah! They wanted this land
Maui Electric? Get real…….🇺🇸
I am so disappointed with and angry at Maui County's elected officials who prioritized climate action instead of ensuring Maui County had adequate fire prevention and firefighting capabilities. Putting their climate loon/climate alarmist ideology above their constituents' safety and wellbeing is inexcusable, not to mention deadly and heartbreaking.
None of this logically makes sense. Wish the people in charge and media could tell the truth.
They should file suit again the City, the mayor, the governor, the police, the fire department, the Senators, the military etc . These groups have have more responsibility than the utilities companies. Because no one ever complained about the surface utility poles.
Democrats hate modern utilities in Hawaii. It costs too much to them.
Video of the scorched Lahaina waterfront are eerily identical to video made of Santa Rosa, California after the 2017 Tubbs fire in October 2017. Some residents then pointed to the presence of smart electric meters in homes as triggering the all-encompassing firestorm. There was one picture in Santa Rosa of three homes under construction then, not yet connected to the grid and without smart meters. Though scorched, all the homes survived the Tubbs fire.
Can they bankrupt Hawaiian Electric Industries?
Investigation should include developers looking to buy out the victims which happened immediately. Very fishy
Wait. The water pumps don't have a backup power supply?the sirens does 😞. What a mess.
I’m wagering left wing climate cultists like the near 3 dozen arrested in Australia 2020, or CA IC professors, teachers and activists. We shall see.
