i hate it, i want these people to explain to me why we didn t get an alarm when they have the most sophisticated alarm system in the world? they practice it every month and what in the world are they waiting for, you know? the authorities have launched an investigation, although the priority for now is responding to the disaster. but the wildfire risk, despite the devastation in lahaina, is farfrom over. this helicopter taking multiple trips, carrying water off to fight the wildfires still smouldering right across this area. but some of those who have lost homes here, point to something they say should already have been focusing the minds of the authorities. like, as if it isn t obvious, notjust from what s happening here, but all over the world. what could be more obvious that we are having disaster
