Hawaii death toll tops 93 as it becomes deadliest wildfire in US modern history
Officials warn death toll will likely rise as search and rescue operations continue
The blazes on the island are now the country’s worst in terms of casualties for over a century, while authorities have warned that the effort to find and identify the dead is still in its early stages, as crews with cadaver dogs have covered just 3 per cent of the search area.
Deadliest wildfire so far...
Just want to clarify that I reading this right. They've now counted as many as 93 killed, and search crews have only covered 3% of the search area?!

That's awful. I saw the death toll rising, which is terrible in of itself. But to hear what it's climbed to and they've only covered 3%...that's devistating news!!
And that says something, because the paradise fire wasn't that long ago...
Given they were warned this would happen and did nothing to prevent it, and when it did happen they didn't competently warn anyone, I hope they take seriously the task of gearing up for this happening again.

Imagine your survival being dependent on letting zuck or elon have full access to you phone.
It seems like where that's all aiming. As far as the governments are concerned, that's a feature, not a bug.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Where did the fire start? Or will that forever remain a mystery ?
Don't get me wrong, but this year's 30k dead after earthquake that happened in Turkey was a massacre.
In around '90 they had a lighter earthquake (15k died?), and the country started a tax/found for a special cases like this - in 2023 when people asked where's the money, and the government said it's not a good time for this unemphatic type of questions.
Edit. I googled now, and it says 56k people died both in Turkey and Syria. Crazy
It's not a competition.
The oppression and tragedy Olympics is probably the most tasteless thing you can fight about on the internet.
Ah there's the whataboutisms. 🥇Here take your prize for being the most empathic person ever because you thought of something worse, congratulations!
There being bigger tragedies doesn't lessen others. Especially not to the people involved.
That earthquake is nothing compared to world war 2 but that doesn't really mean anything does it.
