Jonathan Herzog published August 11, 2023: Maui Lahaina Wild Fire Escape. This is the raw footage I captured via my iPhone to share with friends and family and is only slightly edited with captions to explain what’s happening.
I hope everyone stays safe out there and puts into practice showing the “Aloha Spirit”. This definitely hit home for me and showed me that we should never say: “it could never happen to me…”
Jonathan by chance happened to capture the Maui police road closure leading out of Lahaina on Front Street heading north just as Fish described in the other video interview by Eric West on his Hawaii Real Estate YouTube channel. Jonathan had to abandon his car and run for his life to the ocean and then made his way north along the shoreline. When he made it to safety he panned the camera back to look at the fire and black smoke he just left and captures the Maui police road closure heading north on Front Street. THAT's EVIDENCE that can be used against all of the Maui government officials. Everyone that deliberately trapped those people in the fire need to be criminally charge and held legally accountable for their atrocious actions against humanity.
