would the power being cut sooner, if a pole would a pole have faulted like this if the power were cut? no. you know, at the end of the day, if there is no energy in the power lines, there will be no arc flash. so, the power has to be on for that to happen. can you explain or walk through the number of faults, how this all actually played out? yeah, so the network across maui, you know, is has an incredible amount of data. unfortunately, it shows an increasingly stressed utility grid starting monday night into tuesday morning. through the overnight hours, when all the fires ignited, we measured 122 individual faults on the utility grid, any one of which could produce a similar result to what you see on that video. bob marshall, thank you for joining us with your expertise. please keep us posted as you guys learn more. appreciate the opportunity. of course.
themselves, can you explain to us what they showed here? yeah. we ve got an advanced sensor network over maui and across the united states, and they measure the quality and the reliability of the power grid. we know in the united states, you know, voltage in our homes should be 120 volts, and precisely at the same time that arc flash, we measure on ten different sensors a sharp drop in voltage, which is indicative of an arc flash. so it s verification that, indeed, had was very likely caused by a fault on the utility grid. so we were also told, the public s been told by the ceo of hawaii electric, the state utility, that the electricity was needed for the water pumps to work. you need that to fight the fire? but there has been criticism that the power wasn t cut sooner. wo
that seems to sh a power pole faulting seconds before we see flames. we should note, this is not the blaze that destroyed lahaina, hawaii. check out this video. you will see a big flash, then the camera pans several times. by the time it refocuses, you will see flames. well, we are going to let this play out to the end so you can see the fire. but at the same time of the first flash, our next guest says several sensors went off in the town where that fire started. experts say that flash is likely an arc flash, a power line gets knocked down releasing power. you hawaiian electric said we know there is speck plagues about what started the fire and we are working hard to figure out what happened. bob marshall is the co-founder and chief executive. he joins us now. in terms of the sensors
will bring it to you when they ve decided. thank you, kate baldwin, there on the hill. now this. here we go, top of the hour number two. i m brooke baldwin. i want to talk iran here. we have hit on today s advances in the company s new program. we re going to circle that back here. the targets are in israeli. in new delhi, it wounded at least two people. they seem to think this is a terror campaign against hoz bolla. brian, what do you know? brooke, even before this bomb threat in new delhi, the homeland security and the fbi put out a bulletin. this was last week, and it was intended for law enforcement agencies. it says, in light of attentions over iran, they were maybe concerned iran might attempt attacks inside the united states given last year s foiled plot to. i think that is going to help keep them in control of targets around the u.s. but they said the dhs and the fbi have received no specific threats to jewish organizations, facilities and personnel in the unite
