Comments by "soundscape26" (@soundscape26) on "How accurate are images of the Maui wildfires? – BBC News" video.

  1.  @bbcisaids6727  Regardless of what they do, the images are not from Maui... that's the whole point.

  2. People are so gullible... 😂😂

  3. This video is precisely how trusting some people are on bogus photos that have nothing to do with the Maui fire... and some are even doctored.

  4. He already spoke, what do you want him to say now?

  5. I saw a lot of white people too.

  6.  @James-hd6ez  The strong wind did that sweeper. What did you expect to see on the roads anyway? Notice how nothing in the scene is being treated as suspicious, this is just a regular scene in the aftermath of a fire.

  7. ​ @barneymagee3285 He spoke about it and approved the disaster declaration right after the fire. Sure he could say something else now but it's hardly needed.

  8.  @JamesSmith-qs4hx  Maui as a complete 15-minute city island? Oh man, they still have to burn down quite some towns and cities then starting with Kahului, the biggest city on the island.

  10. Google how trees usually react to fires. Plenty of information available.

  11. Uh... no.

  12.  @JamesSmith-qs4hx  Unscathed? You may need a new prescription for your glasses. Greetings from Tel Aviv. 🤣🤣

  13. ​ @Dimple_5  And wood in wooden houses is dead... significant difference yeah. The flammable material inside the houses did the rest.
    3
  14. Trees and shrubbery barely touched? There are tons of charred trees and diverse vegetation. Nobody is treating this scene as being strange. Not everything has to follow a perfect movie-like script.

  15.  @jimcourt9164  You came to that conclusion from your comfy home? Or are you in the terrain?
    2
  16. The images are accurate, except they're not from Maui.
    2
  17.  @JamesSmith-qs4hx  That's hilarious. It just proves your insanity. 🤣🤣

  18. ​ @andymac7584 The harbour caught fire too... how could the boats escape?
    2
  19.  @Isclachau  That's how it works yes. You can Google all this information.
    2
  20. Starting?

  21. If you don't like the BBC the same debunks were made in other places.

  22.  @OldFartAUS  You know how conspiracy theorist roll... it's from one conspiracy to the other. It's a whole mindset.

  23. I haven't seen any strange pictures but if you could be as kind as to direct me to them...
    2
  24.  @jadedwitness9840  The burden of proof is always on the conspiracy theorists... you cannot prove a negative.

  25.  @jadedwitness9840  The OP obviously: ""False. The Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in January was not about turning Maui into a “smart island.” It is an annual gathering focused on emerging issues in the information technology sector globally. Next month’s Hawaii Digital Government Summit, similarly, is not specifically focused on using A.I. on Maui, but about how governments across the state can better adapt emerging technologies. It also takes place on another Hawaiian island, not Maui."

  26. Very few. There are also a handful of buildings that survived.
    2
  27. You can use Google to search for images... it will return you instances where those images were used.

  28.  @curiositycloset2359  I just read an article about that. The ruling relates to all of Hawaii, it isn't targeted at Lahaina in specific. To goal is to build more housing at a more affordable pricing to help tackle the housing crisis. Dunno how good or bad this proposal is but that's the gist of it.

  29. No evidence yet.

  30.  @lw1zfog  What's the problem with UN's agenda 2030?

  31.  @mrmrmrmrmr02  Very few trees have green foliage, the vast majority of them are charred.

  32. I don't think you'll see any image of any evil arsonists.

  33.  @mrmrmrmrmr02  A few escaped yes... but so did some houses.

  35.  @beetleything1864  No, he should be kicked out of the bingo for lying.

  36.  @HALFTONE44  Most of them aren't at all. You're focusing on 5% of them that survived. Likely the canopies were much higher than the houses below.
    1
  37. Why do you think they are charred?
    1
  38. Yeah, so the images are from Maui then?
    1
  39.  @signsofplay  Why would he say those words? Do you want the man to start laughing on air?

  40.  @jsan4864  C'mon, how do you pump water from the ocean? Also, it's saltwater, not usually used to combat fires.

  41. The local people are mostly angry at the lack of proper warnings, not laser beans from the sky.
    1
  42. ​ @aleksandraamo Yep, I like to combat misinformation and idiocy. And since I have friends in Hawaii there's also a bit of personal reasons.
    1
  43. Why if that grants them clicks and views?
    1
  44. The images are probably doctored. Lens flare is another possibility.
    1
  45. You doofus, Oprah and Bezo's properties are not in Lahaina.
    1
  46. Why are you lying?
    1
  47. Not TikTok only, they are everywhere. And yeah, shame a video like this has to be made.
    1
  48. Likely a lens flare.
    1
  49. Hummm... I don't see many mansions in Lahaina.
    1
  50. What highly suspicious footage?
    1
  51.  @davidbrown5411  Many of those are not related to any footage. Yes, around 20% of Lahaina survived but completely unharmed is an exaggeration. The trees next to the burned houses are almost all charred. Normal aftermath of a fire scene. The simultaneous blazes can be attributed to several powerlines coming down in different points of the scene. That's what locals are saying. Sparks ignite quite easily on dry vegetation. Power was not turned off and that precisely why the local electrical company is under... fire. All the lack of response and proper preparedness to deal with this situation will obviously be subjected to an investigation.

  52. 😂😂

  53. What's a digital town?

  54. ​ @Isclachau  Well, if you don't want to learn how trees react to fire then so be it.. you can keep with your wrong assumptions. 🤷‍♀
    1
  55.  @Isclachau  Google is for you not for me... I'm aware of this information for a long time now.
    1
  56.  @Isclachau  A coherent sentence? I'm willing to bet my L2 skills are much better than whatever those you might have. You were a firefighter? By the look of it you specialized in saving cats out of trees.
    1
  57.  @briansmith8490  I haven't seen any images from Italy but I'm sure they didn't show laser beams.
    1
  58. These images were already debunked in other places.
    1
  59. ​ @dfm_bollox Meaning you believe those photos are really from Maui?
    1
  60.  @dfm_bollox  If you are questioning this video then my question to you was legit.
    1
  61.  @lw1zfog  I'm sorry you believed those images had anything to do with Lahaina.
    1
  62.  @lw1zfog  Projection? I've been debunking this crap everywhere.
    1
  63. Considered the average IQ of that sect that doesn't surprise me one bit.
    1
  64. "nobody thought were real in the first place?" - You'd be surprised...
    1
  65. When there's any proof of that.
    1
  66. Not the images in this video surely.
    1
  67. So the images are from Maui?
    1
  68. No, they are right, photos are not from Maui.
    1
  69. ​ @Isclachau  Now you're just making stuff up.
    1
  70.  @jeremiasrobinson  And then it's a trouble to admit you were fooled... so many keep insisting on the same points to save face.
    1
  71. Yeah... rumour... or just people who are straight up lying.
    1
  72.  @MalchikGuy  Then the reporting is accurate in stating the images are not from Maui. Happy?
    1
  73. Why do you think they are charred?
    1
  74. Considering the amount of people that believe those images are from Maui yeah... unfortunately this video had to be made.
    1
  75. "this land was ear marked for major rezoning" - Was it really?
    1
  76.  @lw1zfog  Never heard of it... and it sounds extremelly boring so I'll pass.
