Some of these images, the before and after contrast, before and after the fires are pretty staggering.
00:05
I know. I mean, we were just looking at these and it's still just so powerful watching what used to be and what it looks like now.
00:15
Yeah. Right here in downtown Pacific Palisades here, just amazing burn.
00:20
You can see even through the holes in the building to other neighborhoods that have been destroyed.
00:23
And there are so many images like this. This is amazing. This is a true same location.
00:27
Here's Big Rock and Pacific Coastal Highway. You can't see the water in this perspective, but after the fires.
00:33
It's going to rotate a little bit. Gone.
00:35
Yeah, the whole house, it's missing there. It's just amazing.
00:38
Horrible how these fires have just burnt through areas and into Altadena as well.
00:43
You can see a large school. Many children learn there every day and that school has been destroyed.
00:50
Just terrible. I mean, can these children who have to look possibly at these images and say what was and what is now, they're not.
00:59
And what is to come in the future?
01:01
Yeah, very unsettling here. This is the Benjamin Franklin Elementary School.
01:04
Here you can see that the community church in Pacific Palisades, the entire roof line, gone.
01:09
That's the only real semblance of, again, the same grid points here being on that map.
01:14
And then into Wiley's Bait and Tackle here in Malibu.
01:18
Here's the sign. Completely charred.
01:21
