As a European, when I look year after year at the disasters you face and how surprised you seem by the scale of destruction, I can't believe it. The sight of those chimneys still standing adds a grotesque touch to it all. Someone might argue that a burned house made of bricks and concrete is also likely only fit for demolition after a fire-okay, that's fair. Not always, but the chances are high. But you know what? It won't serve as kindling that causes the fire to spread further. Dresden, after the bombing and the firestorm that lasted several days, was in better shape. This is the result of a real estate market model where only the profit margin matters, and people have no idea what their homes are built from-ownership is all that counts. Just to be clear, this isn't really the fault of the people. It's just been going on for so long in the U.S. that it now seems completely natural.
Well a big problem they have in Los Angeles is that they’ve an excellent building code. However, they have a mix of homes that are from different eras that had less stringent building codes. This means that some homes are more resilient than others. Too the 100 mph winds and the drought are really to blame here. It’s basically an unstoppable fire. Climate change and building communities in fire prone areas that were once wilderness are really what’s to blame here. Events like these will only become more and more severe and common place so long as we continue to drag our feet with resolving anthropogenic climate change.
It’s very very sad & heart breaking. US Government should do something about this. Will they help these people who have lost every thing? For no fault of these good citizens - they have to go thru these misery. Lord have mercy on these people who have lost every thing. Please be kind to them to recover what they have lost. Sending healing recovery and lots of love & sympathy to these good citizens of our country. May god bless them to get back to normal. Praying for their families, young kids & their pets and specially the wild life in the canyons.
Here in my country the houses are made of reinforced concrete blocks and columns. Concrete is the best material other than steel frames in terms of fire resistance. I hope the majority of americans will adapt this material for their homes. As you can see, only stone chimneys were left when those houses burned down by wildfires. Using lumber has too many cons such as termites, molds, weevils, and other insects that might damage your lumber houses. And also other natural disasters like this.
@WillMuny Nah. Ever heard of corrugated bars as in reinforcement bars? These bars are supplemental to concrete structures to resist the tensile forces such as tensile forces released by an earthquake.
@WillMuny Yes indeed but Japan is more advanced. They put base isolators beneath their concrete and steel structures. Take a look at Chile too. You guys in America just rely on lumber because it's cheapest. But it gets wrecked when hurricanes earthquakes and tornados hit your place.
Aww the jewellery under the ash, you truly are a caring human being.
😂

That's too much loss😢
I'm noticing every 5 to 10 years, some kinda curse is set upon America.
It's called the government stealing money from the public
3:16 why the smirking ?
That is very sad and seems like it could’ve been prevented. What is rebuilt there will tell the truth of whether it wanted to be prevented or not.
I guess it really doesnt rain in Southern California 😢
Aww the art work, so caring.
Fire scares me.

I am guessing you live in a place without Earthquakes.
@WillMuny Nah. Ever heard of corrugated bars as in reinforcement bars? These bars are supplemental to concrete structures to resist the tensile forces such as tensile forces released by an earthquake.
@ Oh Really so if I go to Alaska, Japan, And Chile I will find these in the their Homes??!?!?!
@WillMuny Yes indeed but Japan is more advanced. They put base isolators beneath their concrete and steel structures. Take a look at Chile too. You guys in America just rely on lumber because it's cheapest. But it gets wrecked when hurricanes earthquakes and tornados hit your place.
@ Do you know the difference between a Home and a Skyscraper???
Find me a Home in Japan, Chile, or Alaska that is as you suggest!!!!!!
what goes up come down AMERICA
Your houses are built from wood or any light materials. So what you expect?
To survive an Earthquake, that is what they expect.
@WillMuny Ever heard of reinforced concrete? That's how your skyscrapers were built. But it's doable in single to 2 storey houses too.
😂
Liberals
Did you really think your actions abroad won't come back to haunt you???
This incident should be a lesson to humans (Trump & US officials) that there is God there, so don't be arrogant & oppress humans (Muslims)
Lucifer giveth and take it away. Do you still love him?
There is no Lucifer, also no God.
Please wake up, Boomer
@faithhopelove6945 what do you mean by Boomer?
