"As of 2 September, 385 people were officially believed to have died in the fire."
There are still more than 1000 children missing.
The water wasn't unavailable because above ground pipes burned. The water was shut off. The sirens were not sounded. The police blocked the streets out of town. The schools shut down and sent kids home. The buses from the school all ended up across the island near a cement plant where known subterranean tunnels are sited. Anomalous temperatures that are not at all usual to wildfire caused glass to melt in vehicles that lacked surrounding fuels to produce substantial heat, 2500F to melt glass. Scores of people died in their cars on the roads police blocked. The burned properties are walled off and their owners are prevented from possessing their property. Officials continually lowball the numbers of deceased, and also refuse to condemn the water being shut off, or the sirens failing to alert people to the danger, and do not even comment on the police roadblocks that prevented people from fleeing the fire, or continue to prevent their access to their property. The state has stated it's intention to acquire the burned property, regardless of the willingness of people to sell it. FEMA is blocking emergency supplies from reaching survivors, and people claim water supplied them isn't potable, but in fact is tainted and causing illness. Insurance companies are refusing to pay on policies they sold.
Few events produce so much evidence of malfeasance as the Lahaina fire has.
Thanks!
I have heard of the missing children but never anything definitive.
Do you have sources for that.
The insurance companies tend to through their bureaucracies into the mix but typically eventually pay.
There are numerous sources that have managed to get around the information blackout that is being imposed on social media. Go to Odysee.com and search the word 'maui'. All of the videos you can find there have at least part of the list I provided above. The media are not providing the victims an opportunity to relate these facts. However, of the individual reporters on the ground in Maui, all of them are in agreement on the basic facts that ~3000 children were sent home from school, the sirens did not sound, the water was turned off, and the police blocked the road out of town, which is why there is a line of burned cars in the street leading out of town.
Max Igan's last video showed the school buses across the island near a cement plant and a known location of subterranean tunnels, which he also showed video from. Many videos show the burned area being walled off, massive numbers of police preventing people from accessing their property inside the wall, and keeping them from taking pictures. It is also not permitted to fly drones above the area. Also the Chief of Police in Maui is the same guy that was in charge in Las Vegas when the Jason Aldean concert was shot up a few years ago, named Pelletier.
There are no videos from people on the ground that survived the fire that I can find that contradict or contest any of the items I have mentioned. Frankly, I cannot remember an event that produced such solidarity of all witnesses as has the Lahaina fire.
Here's a quick video of Tulsi Gabbard on Joe Rogan discussing the failure of Hawaiian government.

OK. I have seen reports of this kind.
What I have not seen, though, is mentions of any individual children not accounted for.
Without that, any such reports are at best inconclusive.
The media blackout is preventing that information from being public. There is nothing I can find from corporate media on the matter at all. That is conclusive evidence of a total blackout by media on these issues.
How?
A family with a missing kid can somehow block their statements from getting out there just because the CNN or Fox would not run it?
I don't think that is possible in our day and age - especially when we have alternative, independent media.
The media are just not covering the story. The owners of the media corporations determine what is broadcast, and they're not sending their reporters into the field in Maui to interview the bereft people. The social media corporations simply ban or throttle posts from people, and only those with Starlink have been able to even post according to claims by one of the more prolific civilian reporters.
The independent, alternative media, including Hive posts, are wholly permissioned by ISPs that own the physical network they depend on to transmit their comment. Consider how increasingly coordination across industries from banking to social media is used to censor alternative narratives. How can Assange report war crimes from Belmarsh prison? How can Corbyn continue to participate in UK government without a bank account? Cloudflare can just eliminate websites. In addition to such overt mechanisms, covert mechanisms further extend censorship. Myriad 'suicides' by double tapping to the back of the head have silenced voices. Censorship is relatively facile today.
It is no more possible to block info of this kind than it was to block the info on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. And they did try their best to cover that one up.
