Norah good evening to our viewers in the west, and thank you for joining us on this thursday night. We begin tonight on maui, with new questions and growing anger on what could have been done to prevent the deadliest wildfire in the u. S. In more than a century. The death toll is rising, and it is possible more than 1,000 people are still unaccounted for. Tonight, fema is telling cbs news that many people died in their homes, and it may take years to identify all the remains. Officials say just 40 of the impacted area has been searched. The states Emergency Management director remains defiant in face of questions, including from cbs news, about why he didnt use Warning Sirens to alert residents as the flames approached. Late this afternoon, hawaiis Attorney General announced plans for a thirdparty private organization to review the performance of state and county agencies in preparation and response to the fires. We have Team Coverage on the ground on maui, and cbss Jonathan Vigliotti will start us off again tonight from lahaina, with new reporting. Good evening, jonathan. Reporter and good evening to you, norah. Tonight, as the death toll climbs to 111, fema officials tell me many of the victims have been found in their homes, and in their beds. Many are likely children and had no idea the flames were approaching. And we now know that the sirens did work, but in those critical hours, were intentionally not used. This harrowing video shows people on maui desperately seeking refuge in a pool as an inferno burned all around them during last weeks wildfires. And now, as fema crews continue the Grueling Search for victims, its becoming clear many were either unaware or had little chance to escape the fastapproaching flames. Where are you finding most of the remains . Anywhere where there was a bed. Reporter people were asleep . People were asleep. People were in various stages of fleeing their location. Reporter fema Task Force Leader Todd Magliocca described the horrors his team has been encountering. We have heard so many of the missing are kids. Does that reflect what you are seeing . The devastation is so severe, a lot of the remains that we are finding are almost unrecognizable. We have got multiple generations living in singular homes. Reporter the fire that had been declared 100 contained flared up again around 3 30 p. M. Roadways into lahaina were closed. By then, hurricaneforce winds had knocked out power to much of the town. It was 5 15 p. M. , nearly two hours after the flareup, that the flames reached front street, according to witnesses who spoke with the new york times. Oh, my gosh. Reporter the whole time, the sirens were silenced. Herman andaya, the head of mauis Emergency Management agency, publically defended his actions for the first time at a press conference on wednesday. Do you regret not sounding the sirens . I do not. And the reason why reporter so many people have said they could have been saved if they had time to escape, had a siren going off, they would have known that there was a crisis emerging. The sirens, as i mentioned earlier, is used primarily for tsunami. The public is trained to seek Higher Ground in an event that the siren is sounded. And if that was the case, then they would have gone into the fire. Tonight, new questions about exactly where andaya was while lahaina burned. We know he was attending a conference on oahu. According to hawaii news now, a Hotel Receipt shows a departure date wednesday, august 9th, the day after the fire started. Exactly when he left is unclear. And we have reached out to county officials about andayas whereabouts. We have not heard back. Meanwhile, we are learning more about the emotional toll First Responders are facing. Some have actually returned back home, overwhelmed by what they are finding in the ashes, norah. Norah Jonathan Vigliotti with those important questions. Thank you. While the wildfires have taken lives, there is growing Concern Developers are now trying to take the land. Nearly 3,000 structures on maui were affected by the fires, and the cost of rebuilding is in the billions. Real estate investors are already making offers, with some accusing them of putting profits over people. Residents are telling cbss Lilia Luciano maui is not for sale. Reporter there is a new worry for lahaina residents who survived the inferno. Lahaina is not for sale. I repeat lahaina is not for sale. Reporter hawaiis governor is considering a moratorium on all Land Transactions in lahaina to protect locals from opportunistic buyers. Please dont approach them with an offer to buy land. Please dont approach their families to tell them that they are going to be better off if they make a deal. Reporter hawaii already has the highest Housing Costs in the nation, with Homeownership Out Of Reach for many residents. On maui, the average home price is now 1. 2 million. While the average income stood at just 88,000. Archie kalepa, a ninth generation lahaina elder, says the recovery must be in the hands of locals and natives. We are here to hold the line. We are here to hold the lines and get the rest of the state of hawaii behind us. Reporter that is what Kylie Dindinger and her partner, ray mcgorry, did when they took in a 3generation family of residents who lost their home in lahaina. We were already at a housing crisis. We just want we just want them to stay. Reporter they are also holding the line. By expanding their family from 2 to 6. Ohana. What does that mean . Family. It is a hawaiian word for family. Reporter and those arent just any lands that are feared up for grabs. Lahaina was the capital of the hawaiian kingdom. It holds the Sacred Burial Grounds of ancestors and kings. Still, the natives connection to the land isnt just historical cultural, norah, it is spiritual. Norah such an important point. Lilia luciano, thank you so much. Well, now to the weather, with Hurricane Hilary gaining strength in the pacific. It could become the first Tropical Storm to make landfall in california in 84 years.

San diego to los angeles, the strongest it possibly could be looks like maybe a Tropical Storm, but the main threat here is and will be a heavy rain and possible flood threat here that is able to get up there in part because of the big area of High Pressure that, norah, is bringing some more extreme heat to the southern plains. Norah chris, thank you. Tonight, cbs news has learned the suspected mastermind of the September 11th terror attacks, along with four other defendants, could escape the Death Penalty under a Plea Agreement being considered. Cbss Scott Macfarlane reports details about the possible deal were sent to Family Members of some of those killed, and many are outraged. Reporter for families who lost loved ones on 9 11, it has been an excruciating wait for the trial of suspected mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other accused plotters. It is more heartbroken. Reporter there is now fresh outrage for kristen breitweiser, whose husband died in the world trade center, after the pentagon sent this letter to families, revealing plea deals are being considered in which the five men would accept criminal responsibility for their actions and plead guilty in exchange for not receiving the Death Penalty. I thought i lived in the United States of america. I thought we were a nation based upon the rule of law. And obviously thats turned out not to be the case. Reporter the prosecutions of the 9 11 defendants at guantanamo bay, held in Military Tribunals, have been delayed for years. Mainly complicated by the cias interrogation of the suspects, that critics called torture. And whether the evidence extracted is admissible in court. A Defense Lawyer for one of the accused plotters told cbss Catherine Herridge last year, a plea deal would end the impasse. He is willing to plead guilty, serve a long sentence at guantanamo, in exchange for medical care for his torture and taking the Death Penalty off the table. Reporter that doesnt satisfy brad blakeman, who lost his nephew, tommy jurgen, in the world trade center. We were told, and we were promised, that we would bring these people responsible to justice, and we expect that to happen. Reporter through the years, there have been proposals to move the trials from Military Tribunals to civilian court, but that idea faced stiff resistance in congress, worried about the security and the costs of moving cases out of gitmo, norah. Norah i am still thinking about all of those 9 11 families. Scott macfarlane, thank you. A texas woman is in jail tonight, held without bail for allegedly making raciallycharged Death Threats against the federal judge overseeing former president Donald Trumps Election Interference Case right here in washington.
