Watching from Ohio. So sorry, we have been watching the news since the fire.
So far so good. Please help Blake Ramelb.
From a Wildland firefighter in Colorado:
“I have family on Maui (Haiku). This is a disgrace. 20 firefighters including myself have offered multiple times a day to fly to Maui at our own expense to help contain the other fires and assist in recovery. We have been rebuffed by Maui leaders each time who continually tell us: “it’s all under control”. I was on the scene at the Marshall fire in Boulder County and it took us less than 30 hours to search for bodies in 1100 homes that were burned. Only 2 people died in that fire. Hawaii has been warned for years about this. They’ve ignored it. Absolutely disgusting.”
Absolutely it has been a failure on every level by Maui government
@@JonathanPetramalano.
no.
Wildfire was a low priority threat with tsunami and hurricane at the top of the list. No doubt something should have been done earlier but what? Beside beefing up powerlines, the only thing I can think of was to create a very wide cleared buffer area inland of Lahaina 2-4 miles long and at least a mile or two wide, but that would have cost millions that could have been spent on other things. Keeping it free of weeds/grass would have been a huge cost. That would also have caused a scar on the land sure to bring much criticism. Green belt not feasible as that requires lots of water. Btw, wildfire embers in high wind travel 2+ miles and start fires. It will be interesting to see what is done when Lahaina is rebuilt. Very tough issues facing Maui. Hindsight is usually 100% 20-20 vision.
@@Chainyanker007One of the things that they're learning from this fire is that the amount of space you need around the structure to prevent it from catching fire is much smaller than we thought. A 5 ft buffer around the house with the red roof was drainage rocks and was free of debris (maybe the metal roof also) is what saved the red house, it wasn't able to catch fire even in the middle of all of that bc the fire wasn't able to get hot enough close enough to it. That's something that can be done on a much smaller scale that is much more affordable
Shout out to everyone who used their boats to help, it's definitely not a cheap out of pocket thing to do, and every business that stepped up to take people off and supplies. My hats off to you.
You want to push a cause why not set some fires.
@@johncadogan9450 That chomo Podesta pushing "Climate Change" already. It clearly isn't but of course the liberals never let a good tragedy go to waste. Absolute loons didn't release the water to save their city. Mumbles isn't even going to console the residents and speak with the governor or mayors. These are Americans in America. Why isn't ever politician flying there like it is Ukraine? There is no money involved for Pedo Peter and the cabal so he/they couldn't care less. Mfers. This entire tragedy reeks of BS.
Pride of maui immediately canceled their bookings and helped starting the next day
Our governments response is pathetic. 🤬
All governments are corrupt, Governments are bribed, bought and sold.
The power of love and compassion is with in humanity, the greatest gift you can receive or give is unconditional love. It doesn't really require money, all it requires is your time and energy and that is priceless.
This fire doesnt add up!! Prayers to all the people of Hawaii 🙏🏽🙏🏽.
DEWs
The police in Maui must be held accountable. There is no other path forward
They need to send the Cruise Ships there NOW! Housing, food, safety for the locals of Maui! ❤
Well bloody said !
Our government are too busy finding places to live for the Illegal Immigrants ! What they should do is send all the help to YOU !!
They will not sacrifice profits.
Absolutely!! Instead of helping Ukraine criminals
They're all in Ukraine.

One of the things that struck me in this video😢 was the picture of the fire captain and the boat captain standing on a roof watching the fire approach. And fire captain said he needs to get his kids and get out of there. He did not say a word about evacuations or his fire crew’s safety. I was stunned by that segment. It raised the hair back of my neck. I actually went back and repeated it to be sure I heard it right.
I agree ~ that was shocking.
Retired captain
I agree! Even if the fire captain was retired, why wasn't he warning people to get out. If he knew it was not safe, why didn't he do whatever he could to warn people?
I would not be so quick to judge based upon a single sentence. You have no idea the actions this retired person took. So quick to blame with zero information 😢😢😢 Monday morning quarterbacking is not needed.
It sounded as if he already knew how the fire was going to be. Where was the rain, thunderstorms, flooding, ocean swells eroding the machine? What a dry hurricane!
This is a very powerful video. You did an excellent job of letting the story unfold organically. You captured so many emotions,so many scenes of destruction. Your voice was always calm. You tell very personal stories with respect. Keep up the great work. Thank you for this. 🍀🙌🍀🌴💓🌴
Thank you so much! Emotions are so high in these situations, I just want to be respectful and share the reality

@@JonathanPetramalamy heart goes out to you for enduring that interaction i the Kia soul.
My heart breaks for the families in Maui, God is looking over you and in true Hawaiian spirit, you will bounce back.
God bless all the volunteers, and stay strong. And believe in the Hawaiian spirit
Thank you to all the Gemini crew & volunteers! I’m so sorry for the loss of your houses. 🤦🏻♀️😢
We were there a few weeks ago on holiday from New Zealand. Front street was ‘our’ shopping street for supplies and family gifts. I am still finding it hard to get my head around this. To think that people we interacted with may be dead or are still missing is incomprehensible. Our hearts go out to the people of Maui, and particularly those of Lahaina.
Thank you, good people are hurting
I stayed their two yrs ago shopping and having fun. I can't even imagine what these residents are going thru.💔
Only been to Hawaii once and that was 11 years ago an only to the island of Oahu. But seeing this happen to unassuming people anywhere regardless is very sad and a sombering reminder that we are just as vulnerable to disaster situations no matter where we are.
I feel the same. I went in 2019. Super sad if many I chatted with may not have survived… Or are currently missing… One woman in a video on this channel I recognized. She hid in the bathroom. Glad she survived. But still feel terrible… I’m from Alberta, Canada. My cousin has an apartment in Kihei. I was staying there.
Why people can't access the west Maui?
May God in his infinite mercy bring comfort and aid maui’s fire victims and so many lives lost
My prayers are with you all Maui fire survivors.. Praying every day for the people of Hawaii..
All the sailing boats helping is amazing, they have been there for years and it is always a pleasure to sail with them.
Now in the time of need they are helping with one of the few ways to get to Lahaina!
Strong work!!!
Keep it up, it’s the 1st step!❤❤
The way the locals stepped in to fill the void of the incompetence of the government is remarkable. What the Cajun Navy was to Hurricane Katrina, these citizens with common sense were essential to Maui. If I see one more government official congratulating themselves for the fantastic work they have done, I will lose it. All these government people must resign immediately out of respect for the dead and themselves.
We are helping the Cajun navy ground force establish on the island to help organize volunteers. But the locals as you saw were incredible in the immediate aftermath
Think the island will still vote blue ??? Biden = no comment

As a wildland firefighter from Colorado I understand your loss. I worked alongside of some of the bravest people in the world during the 2020 wildfires in California. It was the worst and scariest thing I've ever witnessed with my own eyes. I'm so sorry for your losses.

🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🛸🔥🛸
The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude.
Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”
Nahum 1:3
“The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.”
The guy crying in the water saying fucking scary really got to me. 😢
Part 2 you can hear his complete story. What a brave kid…I say that bc he is 19…but he acted like a brave worrior
My heart goes out to all the families affected by this unbelievable tragedy. It is heartbreaking to see such a beautiful community shattered by this, but it’s also so wonderful to witness the heroes and volunteers working together to help and heal 💔
Look Up the natives talking about this. They shut off the water and burned down everything, and FEMA is now asking people to sign off on giving up their land in order to receive FEMA help
Seems like the heroes were the volunteers
So many on the Left are making the disaster about r ace or "colonialism". They even go back hundreds of years and wrongly blame Christians for last week's fire. Diverting attention... The last Hawaiian Queen was a strong Christian. She fought for her people.
The fire and the deaths were a consequence of bad management in *recent* decades. Again, there are those who are wrongly blaming others to divert attention from their bad policies and management...
The citizens of Hawaii are amazing and wonderful. A true sense of community!
It's called the Aloha Spirit, alive and well.
These many, capable volunteers are wonderful, heroic - but especially spiritual. Thank you sincerely for your example and service.
People of Maui, we in Australia understand the immense pain and suffering you are enduring, stay strong, our thoughts are with you.
Residents of Maui had their water shut off while they where gaining ground against the fire. The water was shutoff due to woke leftists Democrat politicians.
You get what you vote for.
@@JohnSmith-zc5ox I just read an article in the Honolulu Civil Beat on this very question and the issues are actually concerning long-term, deeply-rooted public/private water use disputes. You have grossly oversimplified the situation in order to make political points. Why does your side lie so much? Sad.
Wow fancy that.
@@bernecompI pulled up the article from "Hawaiian Beat (CB)"
"A State Official Refused To Release Water For West Maui Fires Until It Was Too Late "

What a great mini documentary this is, Jonathan! At first I thought it was done by a big news station because of the amazing quality. Excellent job you did!
Thank you…No I was by myself. I feel passionately about doing this work and honestly networks would slow me down. Thank you for the support
It’s footage from other channels actually.
@JonathanPetramala You definitely did a helluva job with respect and integrity 👏 👍 ❤. Very much in good taste without trying to make it harder than it is on the good of Lahaina, Maui. You give hope that humans can and will take care of each other. Maybe some people could afford to temporarily adopt a family/individual to assist. Remember the adopt a child in need program? Where you got a letter & picture of the one you were helping? If every church adopted a family we'd conquer this disaster in no time!!
@@LilyGazou Yep I noticed a lot of the video was familiar than I realized it was from Live Storms Media channel. Still well put together. He may be affiliated with them or just collaborated.
For those who may not know it, we are under attakk by our own filthy, UNservingGVT. And has been for many yrs bit it is escalating now. Look up the site weatherwar101 and watch the stuff there so you learn it. Yes they're old but very imp info.
Look up Royal Raymond Rife and know that his discovery is being used in reverse against us thru everything that can make noise or has digital system. DO NOT sleep by your devices, and keep appliances UNPLUGGED when you are not using them and WATCHING them to make sure they operate correctly. Keep a hammer or emergency window breaker in case of accident, or in case you get LOKKEDINSIDEYOURCAR. One man said he talked to loved ones who were BLOCKEDINTRAFFIC (by cops) and he said they told him they were LOKKEDINTHEIRCAR. In La haina. Watch the videos of that. They are CREATING all of the so called 'natural' events, and they HAVE BEEN many yrs..If your devicces start making a strange noise, try to make ANOTHER noise that is LOUDER to BLOCK IT OUT, and get it SHUT OFF fast. The monsters t o r t u r e d and killed 4 of my beautiful little dogs..so I know what I am saying, ok? This is all their filthy, satanystUNgoals that are straight out of HELL. Stay armed and protected, and if you took the stuff they said to take, then get somewhere that has no reception if possible. If ppl you know, who did take the stuff. start acting really weird or scary, try getting them somewhere that has no reception, like in a metal lined box truck, walk in metal sided cooler, or other type of place that has little or no reception.
Find the older vid that was on Y.T. called HELL NO. NO BAY ONE. If you can find it, copy it. It exposes how the UN was tring to STEAL the lands and homes or 8 CA residents to build one of their evil 'sustainablecities' and the main planned of that was a PG&Eemployee, and they are owned by WROTHSCHYLD (founders of the UN). They were also found guilty of starting 7 or more of the Ca 'fires' w bad transformers, (yea, right) and the dirty state FORGAVE thier charges. Know that the utility ALSO has the equipment that could be used to commit these horrific ATTAKS, but our dirtygvov has been going along w all their plans from Hell, anyway..so if our military is not directly guilty, they KNOW and are GOING ALONG w it.! Look up PG&E and SOLAREN/energy from SPACE. The monsters behind all this destroyed MANY homes/lands/lives in CA, Montana, Nevada, Nebraska, and now millions of acres in CANADA and more! ALL for filthy satayst UN plans from HELL. Also find the vid The Horrible Truth About The Northern Ca Fires. It is the SAMEwepponry used in all these ATTAKS, and the sick freeksMUST be stopped because NO ONE is safe until they are ARRESTED!!
It is important for people to have information that has not been filtered by the corporate media. I am glad that the efforts of these people to bypass the exclusion zone and bring aid to those who need it is being documented. The authorities are unable to provide aid and they don't want any citizens to overstep them. Are any of the corporate media outlets documenting this?
I have been watching a number of your videos tonight. I hope a lot of news people are also. I don't know what your line of work is, but sincere compassion for others radiates in your videos. If only more people were like you, our world wouldn't be in the mess it's in.❤❤ Thank you for keeping us informed in the most respectful way possible. Stay safe!

It broke my heart this video and the young kids, I can see in their face the stress they went through, God bless them all. 🙏🇺🇸
This video contains wonderful examples of the collateral beauty that comes along with tragedy, that needs tragedy in order to appear, like the seed that has to survive a forest fire in order to sprout. I see people who are sacrificing their own assets in order to help complete strangers. I see people who have dropped that chainmail armor of indifference that keeps our hearts apart from the hearts of others. I see selfless cooperation with others because there is something within each of us that knows how much we need each other.
The worst disasters I always see the best in humanity.
My heart goes out to the suffering! Prevention er key! Americans and Australians are now the most CO2 emitting nationals on the planet. WHY are you not transitioning to produce and use energy from renewable s!? This are just the beginning of a hellish century. For each day we do not bring down our emissions the harder consequences we will see.
Through glaciology, we now have a YEAR BY YEAR knowledge of the planets atmospheric Carbon content (and much more) for a period more than 10 times longer since Homo Sapiens left the African continent the first time. For over 850.000 years our atmospheric Carbon content have been relative stable at 220 PPM. 3 times in the 850.000+ years have gigantic widespread global volcanic eruptions raised the Carbon content with 30 PPM and EACH time it have triggered longterm climate changes for a very long time before the planets regulating systems slowly have been able to bring it down to 220 PPM again. It are truth to state that a atmospheric Carbon content of 220 PPM created us and nearly all living species present on the globe with very few exceptions. Besides the Asteriod that hit Yucatan 66 million years ago the largest species extinctions we have been able to document have happened during the 3 times the atmospheric content rose with 30 PPM.
Since the Industrial revolution, just a few hundred years ago, we have raised the atmospheric Carbon content from 220 PPM to now (2022 number) 417 PPM! So humans NOW have caused not a 30 PPM rise but unprecedented 197 PPM!
We are right now in the largest species extinction period since the Asteriod hit Yucatan 66 million years ago!
The worlds oceans are right now heating with the same energy added equalling 5 Hiroshima bombs PER SECOND! That are the sickening facts!
The worlds largest ongoing transition project. The North Sea summit agreement, will transition 220 million high energy using Europeans in a decade, by off shore windmill parks. One thing are that the project will transion the 220 million people away from fossil fuel based made electricity it will also produce a larger amount of green hydrogen on average per day than the world have produced of green hydrogen to date. Green hydrogen are made of water and electricity and when burned it only emits........wait for it..........WATER! A one digit percentage of this hydrogen production will be used to produce energy when the wind does not blow and the rest will be used for cars, trucks, trains and planes.
Nations like USA, Canada, Australia, Portugal have perfect conditions to make a simple copy/paste of this project NOW and thus create good jobs at home instead of in human rights abusing dictatorships. Make your own money work for YOU instead of sending them out of the nation.
Very soon, it can be next year, in 5 but certainly inside 10 years that we will see several larger farming nations fail at the same time due to climate extremes. That will produce 100´s of millions climate refugees. I hope nations like USA/Australia/Canada that have massive emissions and lots of space will understand where these people will have to go!
IF you want your children to live in a nation that remotely are like the one you know you NEED to change NOW! YOUR INACTION have the power to drag entire humanity down with you! Do not politicise science! Face reality and CHANGE! NOW, please!
and we were attacked from DEW weapons, im here, and went through the worst of it.
It is sad that it does seem to take horrific tragedy for the true spirit of being human to come out as God intended , Perhaps there is still hope in an age of division and societal problems for people to remember what is truly important in life, whether we live on a paradise island, or whether we live in a crowded city; if we all would just help those who need help whatever the reason, we would be returning to the human behavior we seem to have lost over the centuries. We must all love one another and we must all realize that our governments can only do so much so fast and there is always chaos and corruption after these huge events, so all the more reason to love on one another and get in there and help in any possible way we can. The boat owners/captains are doing a loving deed .
I'm suffering knowing that our evil lizard government created this destruction, so I deeply appreciate seeing the combined efforts of humans helping each other! Thank you for sharing this!
If you noticed the gentleman in the video that was being interviewed commented about how he was trying to escape the microwave frequencies by throwing himself in the water. He said he would have exploded if he did not stay down in the water. They used microwave frequencies to destroy this town. People need to realize that we are at war with those in power. If people don't wake up to this reality, we are all dead!!!

The fact that the news or government isn't helping tells me EVERYTHING I need to know.
Visited Maui and Lahaina in 2012. The place holds a special place in my heart and my heart goes out...
From an aussie who witnessed the black Saturday fire and lost friends my deepest sympathy to you all keep safe and look after each other 🙏💓
My heart and soul pray for Hawaii and the people who are suffering through this disaster. It’s so beautiful to see people help one another. Sending so much love to all
Honestly, as someone who looks up so much to US as a country, I am confused as to why no Navy ships, jet planes surrounding the island aren't they already nearby in the bases..the fire dept didn't have water, but that is an island, this is quite a shock I think to all.
Island response and preparation is bad everywhere in the United States and their territories. Remember Puerto Rico and Hurricane María?
@@JonathanPetramala realized I'd be careful not to live in any island, which is a dream to most people....wild fire and tsunamis can happen...this is an eye opener to all.
response is run by FEMA and local government, NOT by the Navy or commercial airliners
@@buonafortuna8698 it seems local governments ignored warnings of this exact same scenario
@@JonathanPetramala Because scum-bag politicians misuse funds, steal and are inept. Puerto Rico was given so much money but most of it disappeared or they did not use it for what it was intended such as buried power lines. Louisiana did the same, spend levy money on port construction.

Props to the boats who offered their services to help these people. Prayers 🙏 to the families who have been effected. God bless these people.
Shame on the government for not sounding evacuation sirens to prevent loss of life. 😢
I think the sirens should have gone off with at least a different pattern of sound part of the time. They are there primarily for tsunamis when people head for high ground, in this case in the direction of the fire. But to me that would have given notice that something was up and gotten people out of their house. Every second counted.
Hawaiian people are always united and now more than ever.
Lahaina stronger.- second to none
there looting a bit tonight.
I thought native Hawaiians hate white ppl. So how is it united? Whites stole there land.
I lived on Maui for many years. The best people on earth 🙏❤️
Going into the water sounds better than dying in your car or home. At a minimum you are going away from the fire, because it is not coming from the water. Very sad for people who have suffered in this turmoil
It’s amazing how humans can come together when we really need each other I wish we could always have each other’s backs so emotional🙏
My prayers are with you all Maui fire survivors.
A Maui resident has told several news outlets “the water shut off” while he and other members of the Maui community were battling fires.
Ross Hart, a resident of Maui, stated while he was battling fires with his hose alongside neighbors and firefighters, the water shut off.
Hart told the New York Times, “You can’t fight fire when you don’t have water… Just throwing dirt on it doesn’t cut it.”
These people have been burned out intentionally
They shut it off on purpose and did not let locals flee to safety!! They want the land!
These people were slaughtered by the PTB for their land!
@@lisabek72 What about something more logicial?
Like e.g. the pumping station burned and/or the power supply to the pumping station failed.
@charonstyxferryman I'm not tbe only person who thinks that....read on
God has blessed some people with boats which is a blessing to help others on the Island .
What really hits hard for me is the sound of the forced strength in their voices. Every single one of them sounded like they wanted to break down, but don’t have the energy to do so right now.. as
if the situation is so horrifying that they can’t quite contemplate it yet. That was the most heartbreaking part of it.
Hearing tonight about whole families perishing trying to flee. My whole heart hurts. Praying for comfort & healing to the good people of Maui. As a New Yorker that is still traumatized by 911, my soul feels heavy with the grief you will carry forever. 💔 ❤🙏🙏
It’s hard to even think of the loss on this scale
How long will the fires last
GOD BLESS YOU, BABY❤️
The police shut down the roads, and abandoned cars and traffic led to trapping many families to burn to death. Complete neglect and unprepaired.
Mahalo for this footage and telling the locals' stories. All my Aloha to Maui ❤
Thank you, I want as many people to see the reality as possible. The strength brings hope
My prayers go 🙏🙏🙏 out to all the great people of Maui
I gotta ask - if the fire chief/captain knew it was time to go, why wasn't there some sort of hurry up and evacuate? The actual Fire Chief left... while others had no clue. That really angers me. I love Lahaina. History has been visually erased. I'm glad the people are doing what they need to do - because it doesn't look like tax dollars are going to help the locals. My blood boils, and my heart aches.
I believe this was a retired captain but I am not sure 100%
They did have a clue. They were under a red flag warning, the highest warning, for wild fire. There are videos of thick black smoke close to homes with flames visible and the person taking the video is saying “I think I’m ok”. What??? That’s God saying GET OUT. People need to take personal responsibility for their safety. It’s a natural disaster. (Or a crime that turned into a natural disaster). There’s no stopping wildfires. You can try to contain them and if you’re lucky you can.
My heart breaks for everyone. But it’s way too early to start spreading rumors without any proof accusing people of criminal behavior. It helps no one and absolutely hurts people.
Yeah, that was my question too. Let’s sit on the roof watching THE FIRE BURN for hours, then decide to pack up and leave. I don’t care if he was off-duty at the time. WTAF?
@@harley2die4 Agree 100% - and if he was retired - it doesn't matter.
@@SisterSherryDoingStuff Once the wind gets behind these fires, have you any idea of just how fast they travel...Stop looking for someone to blame....
It really sucks that so many people have lost their lives, others have property and possessions, most of the town, but again, the lives of people are gone. Thinking and praying for people.
Love to Maui. This is so heartbreaking. I hope the survivors and the friends and family to those who perished will heal in time. 💜
This is more informative than any news reporting...
I appreciate it. I hope you can watch Part 2 as well.
These glimpses of true humanity are always great but it shouldn’t take disasters for us to see people coming together
Hi Jonathan, I'm a new subscriber. Thank you for doing this mini documentary and allowing us viewers who do not live in Maui or even Hawaii get a close look at the residents who experienced this devastating fire and give them a voice to tell their story. I'm so sad for the lives of people and animals lost. I pray God cover Hawaii with His protection. I'm moved by those providing supplies and transporting whatever is needed via boat. This is remarkable and the selflessness being demonstrated is priceless. The captains that have lost their home, my heart goes out to them. I pray God replace everything that they lost in this unforgiving fire. I look forward to your part 2. God Bless you Jonathan and keep you safe while covering this tragedy. 🙏
Thank you, I am always humbled the trust people like Carrie, Brad, Noah, ect...place in me to share their stories.
Look Up the natives talking about this. They shut off the water and burned down everything, and FEMA is now asking people to sign off on giving up their land in order to receive FEMA help
Helping everyone was such a good thing..
Florida here! We ❤️ ya'll. 🙏
Maui, I think I can safely say on behalf of most Australians… Stay safe, stay strong and know our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Americans and Australians are now the most CO2 emitting nationals on the planet. WHY are you not transitioning to produce and use energy from renewable s!? This are just the beginning of a hellish century. For each day we do not bring down our emissions the harder consequences we will see.
Through glaciology, we now have a YEAR BY YEAR knowledge of the planets atmospheric Carbon content (and much more) for a period more than 10 times longer since Homo Sapiens left the African continent the first time. For over 850.000 years our atmospheric Carbon content have been relative stable at 220 PPM. 3 times in the 850.000+ years have gigantic widespread global volcanic eruptions raised the Carbon content with 30 PPM and EACH time it have triggered longterm climate changes for a very long time before the planets regulating systems slowly have been able to bring it down to 220 PPM again. It are truth to state that a atmospheric Carbon content of 220 PPM created us and nearly all living species present on the globe with very few exceptions. Besides the Asteriod that hit Yucatan 66 million years ago the largest species extinctions we have been able to document have happened during the 3 times the atmospheric content rose with 30 PPM.
Since the Industrial revolution, just a few hundred years ago, we have raised the atmospheric Carbon content from 220 PPM to now (2022 number) 417 PPM! So humans NOW have caused not a 30 PPM rise but unprecedented 197 PPM!
We are right now in the largest species extinction period since the Asteriod hit Yucatan 66 million years ago!
The worlds oceans are right now heating with the same energy added equalling 5 Hiroshima bombs PER SECOND! That are the sickening facts!
The worlds largest ongoing transition project. The North Sea summit agreement, will transition 220 million high energy using Europeans in a decade, by off shore windmill parks. One thing are that the project will transion the 220 million people away from fossil fuel based made electricity it will also produce a larger amount of green hydrogen on average per day than the world have produced of green hydrogen to date. Green hydrogen are made of water and electricity and when burned it only emits........wait for it..........WATER! A one digit percentage of this hydrogen production will be used to produce energy when the wind does not blow and the rest will be used for cars, trucks, trains and planes.
Nations like USA, Canada, Australia, Portugal have perfect conditions to make a simple copy/paste of this project NOW and thus create good jobs at home instead of in human rights abusing dictatorships. Make your own money work for YOU instead of sending them out of the nation.
Very soon, it can be next year, in 5 but certainly inside 10 years that we will see several larger farming nations fail at the same time due to climate extremes. That will produce 100´s of millions climate refugees. I hope nations like USA/Australia/Canada that have massive emissions and lots of space will understand where these people will have to go!
IF you want your children to live in a nation that remotely are like the one you know you NEED to change NOW! YOUR INACTION have the power to drag entire humanity down with you! Do not politicise science! Face reality and CHANGE! NOW, please!
Mate, I wasn't seeking thanks for my well-wishes and I certainly wasn't soliciting a lecture. Best you direct your 'expert' opinions to those in YOUR Government Agencies who run H.A.A.R.P., the GeoEngineering programs and the likes of one Mr. Bill Gates (who is funding programs to block out the sun) before you start running your mouth to other Countries and their citizens!
@@Mike-zx1kxyou’ve completely missed the china/India emissions. Not that this is exactly the place for your misguided rant.
@@aliciakerr7639 So you do not know what PER CAPITA means? It means the amount of CO2 per citizen. Off course 1.3 billion Chinese or same number of Indians will emit more than 60 million or 300 million people. 1 Australian emits same CO2 as 12 Indians. And then consider that the imports your nations have from India/China count in their emissions not your. Furthermore aviation emissions are not included in their number. Americans fly more than anyone else per Capita! It are only in Murdoch media nations where the populations do not understand that it are the emissions per citizen that are the number that matter since each nations emissions are ultimately decided by the politics in those nations and thus the populations have all possibilities to elect politicians that will deal with the REAL issues instead of getting their Swiss bank accounts filled by the fossil fuel industry! Emissions knows no boundaries and your emissions hurt entire humanity. Read the text again if you did not understand how critical a situation WE are in at this time! CHANGE! NOW! Please!
@@Mike-zx1kx do you no understand that there is a time and place for these discussions? Do you also not understand that switching to renewables is a very long term thing, as it’s not something that is achievable quickly. It would involve a total rework of infrastructure, and with that, a great deal of co2 output. Over the long term, co2 today is nowhere near the levels it has reached, and as an aside, should we ever reach the carbon neutral that some are pushing for, life would become untenable, for not just humans, but other animals and plants. Co2 IS what plants require to thrive, and should we continue to deprive them of it, the world would quickly become barren.
I am very sorry for the victims.
Poor people, everyone im so sorry this is horrible.
I've always found it difficult to empathize with the suffering of people in Hawaii, because it is such a paradise, but this is different. Losing anything sucks, but losing everything - especially lives - REALLY sucks!
Kauai had detrimental landslides and hurricane damage, big island with their vocano's, Oahu in WW2. You didn't empathize with any of that because they lived in "paradise"?
It’s Nice to see people step up to help others. In 2016 Louisiana floods if it weren’t for the Cajun Navy it would have been worse. Praying for Hawaii. It’s sad to see government hindering help efforts, but hopefully they have a good explanation it’s definitely needed.
We are helping the Cajun Navy Ground Force on the ground in Maui.
the ability to ADAPT is not a skill, it's courage. all of you are warriors as you are going through, getting through this apocalyptic experience. Colorado is praying for you.
Very proud of all the people doing what the government should be. New Zealand
Thank God for the kind people helping each other.
What an outstanding, heartfelt documentary.
I appreciate it. Hope you check back for part 2
Thank you for having posted this video. It was both informative and inspiring. I will continue to pray for the people and animals of Maui.
Thank you so much!
Did you happen to notice the windmills in the background at the airport? The wind was blowing, but the windmills were NOT moving, NOT generating electricity. What a waste.
Heartbreaking 💔 sending love and prayers to you all 🙏❤️lots of questions but the time will come for that later for now a lot of grieving and rebuilding 😢aloha Maui ❤
Been watching hours and hours of video through UA-cam for news from the locals... Thank you for your efforts, documenting and otherwise, these are the videos people need to watch. A horrendous disaster, one I hope Maui can stand up again from. Sharing donation links everywhere I can. Take care.
Ive been watching lots of videos as well - cant comprehend the destruction and personal loss.
I really appreciate it! The links I shared are ones I personally have met and vetted. They will go to the right places, most definitely. If you watch part 2 you will see how truly impressive the 19 year old who escaped into the ocean, is. They lost everything. I wish I could hire him.
Same here , my heart is heavy seeing the devestations
@@JonathanPetramalawhat a great family. Really shows how people can come together when the government fails, because it always fails.
This is too much for people to bear, this really seems like the worst human tragedy I have ever witnessed. My heart aches for the people of this community.
It's the deadliest US fire in over 100 years.
its not a tragedy it is murder
East Palestine, Vermont, Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, need I go on?
KATRINA WAS JUST A FIGMENT OF OUR IMAGINATION.🙄
Sorry brah. I live in hawaii. I’m seeing it. @@craignedoff991
Prayers for all of you who are victims of that horrific fire Im praying for you every day my heart aches for all of you.
This is amazing the love and strength and care of the people of the island for their fellow man. An example to All of our country and humsanity...and our govt WHO'S CONTRIBUTION IS...NO COMMENT. THATS WHAT GOD IS GOING TO SAY TO THEM ONE DAY. GOD HELP ALL OF MAUI AND HAWAII OUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT IS WITH YOU.
The PEOPLE are doing what is needed --- the feds are twittling their thumbs. Come on feds, let people help out, you don't have to control everything & stifel the help.
Why is the government blocking supplies getting to these poor people I don't understand that?!!!!
If you rely on the government everytime something happens, you will be let down every time! People helping people..locals helping locals is ALWAYS better!
But look at what a great job FJB is doing sending $24 billion to Ukraine!!
Maui just signed onto a smart city agenda - the A g e n d a 2 1 / 2 0 3 0 which is planned for the entire planet eventually....they were just rezoning and now locals burned homes don't qualify for insurance - unusual weather - strange things happening.... Cultivate Elevate channel and others are asking questions and digging deeper for answers
Hey everybody that is griping. There are both Republicans and Democrats in the Government. You better not just be blaming one side
Bless those who are helping in this effort - well done ❤
Thank you for helping everyone. God bless you
Thanks for telling their stories.
Looking at the various videos of the fires, I was shocked at the rate of the winds! No wonder the fires spread so fast and far. My family lived on Oahu from 1963-67 and as a kid there wasn't a better place to be, (we didn't realize just how poor we were). Dad was in the Coast Guard based at Pearl Harbor. Mom worked for Princess Leilani, sewing at the factory. We lived in Kaneohe and later Kahalu'u. I spoke with my mother and she remembered the weekend she and my Dad spent at Lahaina before he was shipped out for a year. We moved back to the states shortly after that. I will always cherish my memories of the people and the place I lived in. I'm praying for Hawaii and her people. I know they will be rebuilding and Paradise will once again flourish.
It was a perfect recipe for disaster. Those downslope winds amplify everything to hurricane force.
@@harley2die4 unfortunately the director of emergency services on the island had NO prior disaster services and so the people were set up for failure because of this political appointment.
@@JonathanPetramala At the end, he says many in the waist-deep water "did not make it". What killed them? How did they die, standing in shallow water? The smoke was not thick enough to suffocate, from what I can see here.
@@PeterRabbit70 Likely from burns suffered before they got into the water...some could have been heart attacks.
I've seen this before. These are DEWs.
Excellent job on this video.. thank you. I cry as I watch this.
Wow, thank you
I find it distressing too as where I live, people lost their homes and people died in a cyclone 6 months ago. We're not over it and it's hard to see similar suffering again.
Awesome reporting and awesome job by the locals helping out those affected
With you all the time in this time of suffering, brothers and sisters of Maui and Lahaina Islands. We’ll keep praying for you.
Maui County's elected officials failed their residents in a big, big, and ultimately fatal way. Specifically, Maui County's elected officials concluded that climate action was more of a priority than fire prevention and firefighting capabilities and now we all see the result of their foolishness.
There will be lawsuits but I will be surprised if anyone is really held accountable or if taxpayers will just have to pay themselves in the lawsuits
@@JonathanPetramala did I see a democratic leader interviewed , mayor maybe ?..time to change the vote..
Maybe the reason why only the Red Cross and fema are allowed to do the supplies is because the man in the Oval Office is probably going after praise for doing such a great job?? We don’t give money to Large charities such as the Red Cross because they go into a disaster and rake up all the donations but are corrupted and eke out money to the victims of disasters! Our state had volunteers who went to Louisiana to help ppl, so did ppl from our church. We housed flood victims, in our town ,who showed their gratitude by stealing from stores that they were taken to for shopping- not all , but many………sad , how ppl react to someone else’s tragedy!
@@speaktruth9313 what is incredible, the head of disaster management for the island has no actual experience with disasters. Just a friend apparently
@@JonathanPetramala That is ATROCIOUS to hear the head of disaster management for the island has had no actual experience, but a friend got him the job.
YIKES x 1000000000000000000
Rest assured that many Filipinos are.praying for you all 🙏🙏🙏 Have faith and trust in God who sees the good behind all these ❤
Prayers and blessings to the people and those helping boat in supplies.
Jonathan you did an outstanding job.
Thank you for sharing the truth with the world.
Thank you for documenting! Thank you to all and the incredible humanity efforts! ❤
Thanks for watching! Humbling to be able to do it
Be thankfully that their is such a large body of water so close. Doesn't matter how big of a fire it is, once youre in that water you are safe from the fire. RIP to all that couldn't make it out.
No, the smoke can still kill you and so can hypothermia.
Heart breaking . RIP. Praying for the survivors.
Much thoughts and prayers from Norway!
It’s beautiful to see love bringing people together ✨
Absolutely
Beautuful boat all the captains using their boats may you be safe at sea as you volunteer. 🙏🏼🌻
We need more families to tell their stories. This is horrific
I hope to be able to go and tell more soon.
@@JonathanPetramala thank you.
Sending love and prayers from Oregon! I'm so sorry the people of Lahaina are going through this! We had to get ready to evacuate during the 2020 fires but fortunately didn't have to do so. There was a night that came close. We had warning at least.
