I don't know the circumstances for the flight, of course, so I am being obtuse, but the phrase "cause and effect in one picture" did spring to mind. We are going to see a lot more of this until companies stop spaffing fossil fuels and people can break their addiction to flying and using cars.

I'm so sorry for your friend. Losing your home is a terrible thing. I'm glad you escaped with your lives though.

I feel so sorry for all the people who have lost their homes, businesses, jobs, pets and beautiful natural surroundings... Godspeed to you, America, and godspeed to the world in such times.

And Trump has nothing better to do then spreading hatte speech about it being the governor's fault. Fire departments expressed explicitely that they could handle maybe 2 large fires but not 4.

So sorry for you! But glad you all survived!

This is heartbreaking

I’m fairly certain this is the picture of Hell on Earth

I can't curse here, so I will say Holy schnikes that is terrifying!

I mean, if that's not a wake-up call, I don't know what is.

I would have a hard time waiting at a red light.

I hope all the people who evacuated took their pets!

this is devastating

The poor children who used to enjoy playing here. They won't understand what's happening in the world. I hope this generation of adults are going to get their s**t together really quickly for their sakes.

Too late. Trumps sorry a*s already did that.

Who is taking this picture, and why have they not evacuated? I hope they are OK!

FD bulldozer operators have balls of steel. No air conditioning in those things, and they're expected (and they often do) to drive those things through firestorms to clear brush and paths for firefighters to fight the flames.

"dog beach" ?

Where did people go after abandoning their cars??

I think i actually might cry right now, i am praying for everyone right now,Firefighters,home owners, Animals, Any living creature i am praying for right now 😔😟😟

If you've never fled for your life in a wildfire, respectfully: STFU!

No. Words.

The German in me is screaming "Rettungsgasse!" - if you have to abandon your vehicle, you do it so there's a clear path down the middle for emergency vehicles. Otherwise even more people suffer.

HOW?!

It may well be the beginning of the end of the world.

I'm not sure why Susan and RA are being downvoted. Not entertaining enough? Not emotional enough? There's a reason why sustainability has become such a prominent concept in recent years and a lot of us humans aren't getting the message...

I still say Hell on Earth

I'm a local. This fire has calmed down quite a bit, thanks to LAFD and the calm wind. It was a close call!! 6am local time.

And they say Burger King is flame grilled....

And sure many Trump supports will say: "get that thing off your face..."

If God wanted to send a message to people who would listen, he wouldn't have made them so cloth-eared to the dangers of climate change and so enthralled to rich idiots.
