Our hearts go out to the victims of the Maui fires and the residents of Lahaina.
It’s been heartbreaking to see how the Maui fires have unfolded. There is so much to this, from how it started, to the failure of governments and energy companies to a slew of wild conspiracy theories. I wanted to bring some context and rationality to this tragedy, so let’s see if we can’t figure this out together.

0.12 -> August 8th 2023 marked the start of the deadliest wildfires in modern history on

4.68 -> Hawaii in particular on the island of Maui as of August 15th 99 people haven't declared dead with

10.8 -> hundreds still missing with survivors bracing for the worst the causes leading up to the fire and

15.54 -> the level of incompetence from local governments is pretty staggering but there's also much more

20.22 -> to this story from investors and billionaires trying to buy up land to Shady players trying

24.72 -> to rebuild Maui as the world's first smart city it's what's really going on and how did we get

29.88 -> here and what can be learned let's figure this out together

33.097 -> I'm Ricky and this is Two Bit da Vinci

38.22 -> I really didn't want to make this video I just made a video about the Canadian wildfires which

42.42 -> are still ongoing and I also made a video about El Nino 2023 and how it was going to be really

47.52 -> intense well this would appear to be the first devastating effect so let's start with what we

52.38 -> know so far on August 8th around Maui County authorities got the first reports of Fire by

57.3 -> 6 37 a.m police were circling neighborhoods on megaphones trying to convince people to

62.64 -> evacuate and they used nearby hydrants to fight fires but these early calls to evacuate were met

67.68 -> with strong reception because wildfires in Hawaii have quadrupled in recent decades in August 2018

73.2 -> for example brush fires broke out as hurricane Lane neared Maui the fires engulfed more than 2

79.14 -> 000 acres and forced dozens to flee their homes this can be really important we'll get back to

82.62 -> that in a second again in 2019 large fires also ripped through Maui burning roughly 25

88.14 -> 000 Acres of former sugar cane land and dry brush as Hawaiian dirt record high temperatures so how

94.02 -> did local governments respond well they put out this the state of Hawaii why comprehensive

99.3 -> emergency management plan in February 2022 here they've ranked how different natural hazards could

104.76 -> potentially affect Hawaii so where did wildfires rank near the absolute bottom and what's really

111.3 -> surprising is they have a low score for the impact and risk to people that sounds a bit insane but

118.26 -> we'll come back to this trust me there's a lot to unpack there are currently three active fires the

124.44 -> South Maori flowers up country and the West Maui fires the fire that burned Lahaina resulted in

130.2 -> most of Destruction and it was from the West Maui fire as of Monday August 14th 99 fatalities have

136.92 -> been confirmed and it's the largest number of deaths in an American Wildfire since 1918 when

141.42 -> 453 people died in the Cloquet fire in Minnesota based on a crowdsourced database circulating on

147.54 -> social media with a list of over 5200 people some 1130 individuals are still listed as not located

153.78 -> so those fatality numbers are likely to go up and that's absolutely heartbreaking because it's not

159.54 -> even really fully safe to get back out there at least 2 200 buildings were destroyed in the fire

164.1 -> 86 percent of them were residential according to Hawaii governor Josh Green at a White House

169.56 -> briefing on Monday FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell said that more cadaver dogs were on

174.48 -> their way to Lahaina but that the search was extremely hazardous and would take time based

179.16 -> on reports from local officials the 99 fatalities reported are based on only three percent of their

184.38 -> structured searched so far so those numbers are going to go up the state's vaunted integrated

189.6 -> outdoor siren warning system the largest in the world with about 400 alarms was not activated

195.96 -> during the fires according to the Hawaii Emergency Management agency spokesperson Adam Weintraub on

201.24 -> Maui the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago there are 80 outdoor Sirens to alert

207.3 -> residents to tsunamis and other natural disasters they sat silent as people fled for their lives

212.76 -> nobody at this state and nobody at the county attempted to activate those Sirens based on our

217.32 -> records said Adam Weintraub in an interview while Maui's warning signs were not activated emergency

222.84 -> communications with residents were largely limited to mobile phones and broadcasters at a time when

228.36 -> most power and cell service was already cut most weren't prepared to anticipate just how quickly

233.76 -> fires could spread now let's take a minute and talk about the science of how this fire likely

239.4 -> started first of all we do not officially know what started these fires but here are some of

244.56 -> the conditions present that led to this event Maui was in a severe D1 D2 drought rating for

250.8 -> most of the Season leading up to this and it was more dangerous than even California that's really

255.48 -> prone to wildfires it was also hotter than usual partially climate change and partially the El

260.88 -> Nino of 2023. I have an entire video about what is going on with that which I'll link below or

266.16 -> in the description if you want to check that out after this one now as far as Lightning Strikes go

270.18 -> I used the blitzock tune database which I use for the Canadian wildfires as well which actually did

275.88 -> show a correlation between lightning brakes and Fire Starting but here in this case I couldn't see

280.5 -> any examples of any Stripes actually happening on Hawaii in the 24 hours or 48 Hours leading

286.68 -> up to the fire starting then there was Hurricane Dora Dora did not directly hit the islands as you

292.38 -> can see by this amazing visualization from Zoom Earth it passed around 500 miles south of Honolulu

299.82 -> around the time when the fire started you can see what was happening here door did not directly hit

306.66 -> the islands but it played a viral role in the Lahaina Fires at its closest it was about 500

312.36 -> Miles off the coast of Maui a high pressure system developed north of the islands as well resulting

319.68 -> in a gradient wind between high pressure and Dora a low pressure system this is the approach of

325.38 -> Hurricane Dora right here right and you can see that the gust speeds start to really pick up so

330.18 -> the highest wind gusts that I could find was about 62 coming off of here and because of the hurricane

335.52 -> and the high pressure system you've got 62 mile an hour super high gusts of wind coming over the

340.92 -> West Maui mountain range and down into the Basin of Lahaina Hurricane Dora was a huge part of the

346.98 -> story what's amazing is that this hurricane started as a tropical depression back in Late

352.38 -> July and it traveled almost 10 000 miles starting in the Atlantic and going all the way across the

359.1 -> Pacific pretty insane and as you can see even though it didn't make landfall I was still 500

365.16 -> miles away it had a huge impact on what happened and as you can see here in this visualization Dora

371.76 -> remained a category four all the way through passing Honolulu here in green it was a low

377.52 -> tropical system picked up category two category three and it was a category 4 all the way until

383.28 -> the past the Hawaiian archipelago this resulted in gusts between 45 and 60 miles per hour over

389.34 -> Lahaina and actually 80 mile per hour over the big island of Hawaii so net result of these two

394.86 -> weather systems 45 to 60 65 mile per hour winds over Lahaina and 80 mile per hour winds over the

402.06 -> big island so again we don't know for sure but I think the most likely cause was down power lines

407.16 -> that were still energized wine Electric stock plummeted 40 Monday morning after a class action

413.28 -> lawsuit filed over the weekend alleged that Maui's devastating wildfires were caused by the utilities

418.2 -> energized power lines that were knocked down by strong wins there are several videos on X formerly

423.84 -> Twitter where residents shared scary sites of power lines swaying in Gale forced winds again

429.66 -> this hasn't been confirmed but based on timelines it's at least the most probable cause some are

435.78 -> poor show the people of Lahaina losing power as early as 4 am a few hours before the fire

440.82 -> started and this is actually what caused the 2018 wildfires that devastated the town of Paradise in

446.7 -> California the campfires which began on November 8th 2018. when a suspension hook known as a sea

451.56 -> hook of a nearly 100 year old Transformer Tower in the Sierra Foothills in eastern Butte County broke

457.14 -> causing a power line to fall against the metal Tower and sent Sparks into dry grass below PG e

463.2 -> the utility responsible in California pled guilty to 84 counts of manslaughter in 2020. sadly aging

469.74 -> infrastructure and poor modernization efforts have plagued the US for decades and with severe

474.84 -> weather it's only going to get worse so in a lot of ways this was a compounding of a lot of really

481.02 -> Unfortunate Events another is that the New York Times reported that the town's water system may

486.18 -> have also failed to maintain water pressure so as firefighters tapped into fire hydrants there was

491.7 -> actually not enough water pressure to fight these Flames how was the water system run was it run on

497.28 -> electric pumps in which case if the power goes out do the water pumps go out was there water

502.38 -> towers with elevation It's tricky to say and I don't know all the details just yet but that is

507.9 -> a glaring oversight you can't lose water in the event of a power outage because there's really no

514.5 -> way to fight fires then the geography also played a huge role in how quickly the fire spread backed

519.96 -> up to the Pacific Ocean on the west and the West Maui mountains on the East fire spread

524.22 -> at an alarming rate the 50 mile an hour winds that resulted from Hurricane Dora and the high

528.6 -> pressure region to the north fanned the flames and created almost a blast furnace all fires need

534.12 -> oxygen and 50 mile an hour winds provide plenty of it plus being backed up against the West my

539.7 -> mountains the radiant heat from the fires were either reflected back toward Lahaina or absorbed

544.8 -> resulting in hotter temperatures that were then fed back into the fire from their prevailing winds

551.16 -> and the highest point of this West Maui mountain range is Pui Kakui at 5788 so because they were

558.36 -> backed up against the West Maui mountain range and that's where the winds were coming up from

562.8 -> that hot air was being fed right back into the fire and in essence that's kind of what a blast

570.18 -> furnace is the limiting factor in a fire is oxygen without oxygen eventually if fire will die but if

576.6 -> you can continue to provide oxygen at a higher rate the fire will grow another contributing

582.06 -> factor is the historic nature of Lahaina many of the buildings are really old and historic made out

587.7 -> of wood and probably don't meet modern building codes modern building codes require fire doors

593.16 -> fire retardant insulation and other considerations to help sequester Fires for longer periods of time

599.52 -> without completely spreading older homes don't have a lot of these considerations and this is

605.04 -> one of the really unfortunate things about older construction is unless they've been

609.24 -> modernized where they've been renovated with new installation or other building proof materials

613.98 -> it's hard to know how they'll handle fires when it comes to fire science there's a couple of factors

618.96 -> at play one I mentioned is radiant heat all things above absolute zero radiate heat you can

625.32 -> typically measure that in infrared spectrum and that's how IR goggles work or like FLIR Imaging

631.02 -> cameras and in this case the radiant heat didn't just spread everywhere it was backed up against

634.98 -> the mountain range so at least half of that heat was being absorbed by the mountain increasing

639.48 -> the temperature of the incoming wind the second is convection when you have air moving over something

645 -> and in this case mostly natural convection because hotter air rises cool air comes in and you have a

650.28 -> natural cycle third we have Embers Embers are the things that you see that get picked up by the wind

655.8 -> and travel over the air and can land on another field and spread fires that way but there's

660.36 -> also fire Brands which are larger objects thrown literally by the wind during a fire so this could

666.66 -> be anything from like a roof tile or anything that gets caught by the wind while on fire and

672.96 -> then there's flashover which is essentially when wood gas flows into an area or pocket and ignites

678.36 -> like a bomb there's actually some videos that I've seen where there's like a fireball rolling

683.1 -> down the street and that's likely what this is when the outer bark of a tree starts to ignite

687.96 -> it can release the gas that's actually kind of explosive it's like a biogas and as 50 mile an

693.12 -> hour winds carried along and it's already ignited and the temperatures are really high you have kind

697.62 -> of a rolling flash flame and some of the videos that I've seen are that at the end of the day

703.74 -> there have been so many reports of all kinds of craziness but honestly most of this stuff

708.12 -> can completely be explained also there are fire natives which no it's not a Michael Bay movie

714.84 -> it's just the process of extreme convection where Fireballs seem to take on a tornado shape because

722.52 -> of just how hot they are and how quick of the heat rises pulling the flame with it here's another

727.56 -> consideration that came into play more than 400 000 hectares of the island is covered by invasive

734.52 -> fire prone grasses which help the Flames continue to grow to understand the modern State of Affairs

741.18 -> in Hawaii we need to do a little bit of historical research the Dole fruit company stopped growing

746.34 -> pineapples in Hawaii in 2009 after like a century of doing so secondly Alexandra and Baldwin Inc

753.72 -> spent all of 2016 shutting down its 140 year old sugar cane plantation remember the fires

760.68 -> in 2019 those happened on deserted old sugarcane plantations thirdly as ranchers introduce cattle

768.3 -> onto the island of Hawaii they started to grow grass to feed them largely Guinea grass from

774.3 -> largely Africa and this is a non-native species that completely has taken over the island and

780.12 -> there is as we mentioned hundreds of thousands of hectares of this invasive species of grass this

785.94 -> grass can grow incredibly quickly up to like six inches a day and once the dry season hits it dries

792.06 -> out and becomes complete fuel for fire this gets into one of the conspiracy theories that I've seen

797.4 -> floating around online that this entire thing is a targeted attack and it's a land grab a way for

803.22 -> wealthy investors and billionaires to buy up land on the cheap let's start from the beginning of the

809.16 -> history of Hawaii in 1826 the First Hawaiian U.S Treaty of friendship Commerce and navigation was

815.76 -> signed in 1843 Kamehameha III seeds the Island to Great Britain on February 25th under Forest

823.8 -> Great Britain eventually reinstates Kamehameha III as ruler of Hawaii in 1845 with growing fears of

830.16 -> a foreign takeover of Hawaii and its land the Board of Commissioners to quiet Land Titles

834.84 -> is established an act authorized the sale of government land to foreigners in 1848 Kamehameha

841.98 -> III's land distribution the great maheli begins it's a process rather than a one-time event where

847.68 -> lands are divided between the king and Chiefs and this is where the beginning of the distribution of

852.78 -> Hawaii begins because before all of this Hawaii was not owned by any individuals the people of

858.72 -> Hawaii believe that the land was owned by God but now King Kamehameha III fills his cabinet

863.28 -> with foreign ministers not everyone is pleased with the growing influence of missionaries it's

868.08 -> a new era of prosperity for missionary families as they start plantations growing things like

873 -> sugarcane and pineapple in 1893 the committee of 13 renamed itself the Committee of Public Safety

878.52 -> and declares the throne vacant on January 15th the U.S overthrows the Hawaiian monarchy and

883.8 -> Sanford Dole a missionary descendant negotiates an annexation treaty with the Harrison Administration

889.14 -> but President Cleveland delivers a message to Dole asking for his resignation and to

893.76 -> restore the legitimate government of Hawaii to power Dole refuses on January 3rd 1893

899.34 -> the independent Kingdom of Hawaii is illegally overthrown on January 16 1893 the committee of

904.98 -> safety asked U.S troops to protect Americans as they brought down the Hawaiian monarchy by force

909.6 -> the queen yields her throne believing that the legitimate U.S government would do the right thing

913.86 -> and reinstate her in 1894 the Dole government declared itself the Republic of Hawaii and fun

920.22 -> fact for about four years Hawaii was its own country so the Republic of Hawaii had its first

925.14 -> president which was Stanford adult on July 7th in 1898 through a joint resolution of Congress Hawaii

930.78 -> is annexed all Hawaiian Crown lands are seated to the U.S come April 30th 1900 Hawaii is a U.S

937.86 -> territory and Stanford Dole Is appointed the first governor if that name sounds familiar well that's

943.2 -> because James Dole is the cousin of Sanford Dole and he started the Dole fruit company and started

948.66 -> pineapple plantations all along Hawaii December 7th 1941 Japan strikes Pearl Harbor and martial

955.8 -> laws declared but surprisingly Hawaii still was an estate because Hawaii wouldn't become

961.26 -> a state of the U.S until 1959. why does all this matter well the history of Hawaii is a really sad

968.52 -> one and that's why the people of Hawaii feel so proud of their culture and they try to preserve

973.2 -> it as much as they do the U.S literally just stole Hawaii from them and made him a territory made him

979.74 -> a country made a mistake and this is all without their approval or authority or their willingness

985.56 -> and on top of that big companies like Dole have rolled in brought plantations and other things

992.34 -> brought cattle brought Guinea grass and other things that have contributed to these fires

999.18 -> when you bring in an invasive species to an island that didn't have them you're completely Shifting

1004.7 -> the entire ecological structure and balance and in this example because of the dry spells and

1010.88 -> the rains and the Falls you've got incredible dead brush that can cause fires so all of that kind of

1016.82 -> plays a role now in terms of one of the conspiracy theories that this is a big land grab let's break

1021.74 -> this down a little bit so one of the arguments that I heard is that all the rich people's mega

1026.3 -> mansions didn't burn and Lahaina did well there's a couple of things to that the rich people's mega

1031.88 -> mansions are new construction they're built with modern building codes of the fire resistance in

1037.34 -> mind also they're massive acreages where the homes are separated from each other by in some examples

1044.24 -> miles or Acres right also they all have beautiful lush green grass that's very well manicured

1051.14 -> and very short none of that is much of a fire hazard compared to Lahaina with their old wooden

1055.34 -> buildings and much higher density of buildings that could be a contributing factor but again

1061.1 -> I'm just speculating at this point the second thing is that this is a land grab and I think

1066.74 -> that has tainted this entire tragedy and I think we are losing focus of what really matters which

1072.08 -> is the people of Hawaii and all the people that are still missing to this day right if we look at

1077.78 -> this as people with directed energy weapons which that's just a term that I absolutely hate because

1084.14 -> there was a post on social media saying that this was a direct energy weapon attack which was

1089.48 -> totally debunked and in fact it was a Transformer that was sparking in Chile years before

1096.26 -> we lose sight of what really matters now is there a land grab component yes because I've also seen

1102.2 -> people on social media people in Hawaii claiming that they've been called by investors by Realtors

1107.84 -> asking if they want to sell their land right now because people are probably panicking they've lost

1112.34 -> their entire livelihoods everything they own and how will these insurance companies pay out

1117.92 -> are they going to go bankrupt it's really hard to tell and it's an incredibly scary time but to be

1123.14 -> so incredibly selfish as to call these families in their most vulnerable moment to try to buy up this

1129.5 -> land now on the cheap is horrible so two things can be true this could just be an act of Nature

1135.08 -> and there can be absolute horrible human beings on this planet who are always trying to take

1140.6 -> advantage of things and I think that's exactly what's happening here there's an article on the

1144.38 -> BBC that I thought was quite insightful because they really did a good job of just proving some of

1149.9 -> this stuff this is the direct energy weapon post and I hate these titles like I was warned not to

1155.72 -> post this video so so stupid because this is a freaking lie this is a Transformer exploding in

1161.06 -> Chile that does happen sometimes it's not a direct energy weapon here's another one that I saw on

1166.16 -> social media if the fires in Hawaii were natural then what is this right this idea that first of

1171.68 -> all you never know something's photoshopped or not but like what is going on here and this one

1175.82 -> is actually pretty pretty simple it's known as a light pillar and it's an optical illusion formed

1181.4 -> by Reflections off ice crystals on a cold day but what happens with cameras and glare is pretty

1188.18 -> interesting for example look at this light right up here look what happens when I move my hand

1191.9 -> over it you see that that is glare coming off of that light here's another one and I I saw this as

1197.9 -> well as if this was natural how come the trees are all still standing and the structure is all

1203.06 -> burned and as you can clearly see there's a ton of Destruction to the trees as well there may be

1207.44 -> the occasional tree standing but most of them are completely leveled in all those cases those are

1213.08 -> people who can't really explain something asking a question and that's okay but there's also like

1218.06 -> Photoshop stuff like there was a church in Lahaina that burned down and there was a picture that

1224.12 -> the Lahaina State shared and people had added like a streak of light saying that it was a strike or

1230.84 -> like a direct energy weapon or something and that was just flat out not true it was falsified it was

1237.5 -> a Photoshop effect so I ask everyone to remember that you have to try to get some sense of what

1245 -> you're looking at and don't go sharing things unnecessarily because the truth is if you go

1250.1 -> back and look well do my research some of these ridiculous nonsense posts got way more views than

1256.16 -> the actual information of what was happening and that is a shame and a just a huge disservice from

1263.12 -> our social media culture but I urge all of you guys to try to keep in mind that a couple things

1268.04 -> can be true there can be huge land grab potentials during controversies and during tragedies but that

1274.82 -> doesn't mean that they were the ones that caused it now I'm not here to tell anyone

1279.32 -> how to think or what to believe about anything I hope you can start to see that this was kind of a

1285.38 -> perfect storm and Hawaii was not prepared this here is Lahaina and there's literally one road

1293.18 -> to the north and to the South to come in and out if anything happened along these paths to block

1297.98 -> it there would be no Escape Route for any of the citizens living in these regions I think Hawaii

1304.64 -> deeply underprepared for the potential of a fire and like we mentioned with hurricane Lane in 2018

1312.92 -> hurricanes stoking huge gusts can have huge ramifications also the Hawaii Energy company

1319.16 -> should really probably be at blame as well and they already are because you have to start

1324.38 -> thinking about bearing these lines anytime you see power lines overhead that is the potential

1329.3 -> for failure right because if heavy winds or any other natural disaster come rolling through

1334.52 -> you're going to have downed power lines on top of everything else and that is a bad recipe for

1341.3 -> disaster if these companies could invest the money to bury these lines underground where

1347.42 -> most new construction is putting them it would be much better off the challenge is we need to hold

1353.36 -> these companies accountable PG e have they learned their lesson after what happened in Paradise in

1358.16 -> 2018 I'm not sure because some of these companies will make the decision you know it's cheaper just

1362.72 -> to settle the occasional lawsuit than it is to actually fix these problems we're talking

1367.04 -> about hundreds sometimes thousands of miles of power lines this is not an easy problem but we're

1372.98 -> going to continuously have situations like this arise if we don't bury power lines if we don't

1381.2 -> better equip ourselves and be better prepared if we make sure that our alert systems work in

1387.08 -> the case of the Hawaiian state government by the way the big blame I would put on them is

1391.94 -> their siren system and not using them if I lived in Hawaii and I saw fire and fires were pretty

1397.28 -> common like we mentioned four times more likely in recent decades I wouldn't overreact unless those

1404.6 -> Sirens went off if you have a siren and don't use it you're doing huge damage and disservice

1409.88 -> because people expect those sergeants to go off alerting them to take action and if it doesn't

1413.78 -> they think ah the fire is contained will be fine no reason to overreact and panic but if you have

1419.12 -> the sirens and don't use them bad things can happen and that can never happen again they

1423.98 -> need to have their own Power Systems that run outside of the grid that way they can have power

1429.2 -> even if the grid goes down solar powered I don't know how they would do it but those systems have

1434.48 -> to work and that is a huge problem by the way one more piece of controversy and this is you

1439.04 -> can't make this up the same Maui police chief John palatier was also The Incident Commander for the

1444.8 -> Las Vegas shooting that was mired in conspiracy theories as well where you know one of the big

1450.56 -> worst shootings in American history and now he's here in Maui you can't make this stuff up but

1457.82 -> through all the noise my goal to be the engineers guide of the Galaxy is to find the signal through

1462.92 -> the noise and what I see is a need for us to figure out how we can do better in the future we

1467.78 -> have to take concrete action because fire is going to be one of the new hottest natural disasters

1474.02 -> over the next 10 years because of General warming of the oceans we're going to have worse storms

1479.78 -> that storm Hurricane Dora traveled nearly 10 000 miles that doesn't normally happen our hearts here

1485.9 -> are with all of you that are impacted by this this is a true tragedy and it's something that

1491.36 -> um I haven't been able to stop thinking about honestly we just donated money to the

1495.74 -> king's cathedral in Maui who are kind of on the ground doing a lot of good work out there we'll

1500.9 -> put a list in the description to other resources where you can donate money or goods and services

1507.68 -> whatever you have to available to help the people because as I mentioned 99 people have been

1513.32 -> declared dead so far and they've only really gone through about three percent of the rubble this

1518.78 -> problem is still very much in its infancy and also if you're thinking about going to Maui on vacation

1524.12 -> I'd highly encourage you to maybe reconsider any of those hotel rooms that you don't occupy would

1530.12 -> be available for those who have lost their homes to help provide shelter and food and services and

1535.22 -> just be less distracted and this is one of the first things I heard from a lot of the locals

1539 -> there is don't come please let us heal let us take care of our own and not be distracted with tourism

1544.16 -> on top of everything else we'll put links in the description to all the different ways you can help

1548.72 -> thank you for watching and I hope this helps a little bit in terms of understanding why this

1555.2 -> happened and what concrete actions we can take in the future because I think we have to all right

1561.5 -> until next week this is DaVinci thanks so much for watching
