Witnessing the Easter Island Fire | October 4, 2022
This is first-hand footage of the fire on Easter Island that occurred on October 4, 2022. Primarily taken from Camino Vaitea Anakena, get a closer look at how quickly the fire spread throughout the Rano Raraku crater.
This took awhile to get to and recognize it's old news at this point but in rewatching the footage I captured, I now see how dangerously close the fire was to sweeping through all of the quarry at Rano Raraku. While we weren't there at the site itself, it largely seemed to go unnoticed on the day it happened. It wasn't until 2 days later that the fire was picked up by international outlets.
We also had a chance to survey the damage from outside of Rano Raraku a day later and could see how far the fire had spread.

Why does this fire remind me of the wildfires in Lahaina Hawaii and Chile?? Is it possibly because all of them managed to cause extraordinary destruction of structures and items that aren't normally so easily destroyed by simple wildfires?? Or maybe it's because all of these places hold some kinda important historic information that certain individuals in positions of authority/power don't want the public knowing about.. whatever is happening, I refuse to accept that these are simply caused by Mother Nature.. there is most definitely more going on than what meets the eye.. thank you for sharing this footage and please keep up the good work ❤❤👏👏🤔🤔👀👀
I’ve been doing research from the interview of Billy Carson, Forbidden knowledge, done by The Shawn Ryan Show February 2024. That’s how I found your video. Thank you very much for posting. The interview is three hours long and packed full of information.
Me too!
So Amazing you have the Only evidence of this fire and your assessment of its origin. Weird the Entire Islanders had no idea. Weider a low land grass fire destroyed rock Thousands of years old? Guaranteed a brush fire has happened before. And your video showed areas burning as if from a Source on the ground, not just brush.
Yes, that's exactly what I saw! It's definitely been strange that there hasn't been that much news on this. In the moment, I really couldn't believe what I was seeing.
A forest fire on an island with no forests for fuel to damage those ancient structures. Seems like someone wants to destroy ancient history
I don’t understand why this does not make the news :(
Have a wild guess
How am I only now hearing about this?
I came for answers due to someone saying it was started by a human with enough fuel to do this and get away with it
There's no trees how can a fire sustain long enough to melt rock
Cold fusion energy , they are using laser technology! We are in the early stages of the Star Wars era
There are plenty of wildfires and brushfires that happen in open fields. "Texas grass fires" if you wan't to see.
@@Top10WizardReviews damn those grass fires melt stone?
The government did it ...! No lol ..!!
So where the burn marks on the grass around them?? @@Top10WizardReviews
This video only has 5.5k views it should millions😢😢😢 This awful
This is how u destroy history
Especially since this happened Oct 4th,
@@awakenedangrycensoredameri44592022 😅
This looks like a great adventure. hope you had a good time.
We did! Definitely didn’t expect to see the fire but overall it was an incredible trip - unlike any other place we’ve been to!
@@GoingAwesomePlaces keep that content coming.
Thanks for this video.
Thanks for stopping by!
That wind was either one of 3 things, it was trying to tell you something? Or it was manipulated by the government/family that did it? Orr it initially was stating something the first time and the second time played manipulated by the second scenario.
I can’t believe I’ve just heard about this fire! So strange. But even stranger is the fact the fire burned hot enough to damage the statues, like what? The only fuel is saw in your video is some green grass, which is sure has to be far from the first brush fire. I’m not much for conspiracy but this makes three odd fires with extraordinary circumstances. Also odd that there wasn’t much coverage.
I DON'T THINK THAT NO FUEL ⛽ WILL DO THAT 😮 BUT A LASAR WOULD
Even a laser needs fuel to burn. Fuel, heat, and oxygen.
How does setting moi on fire help the community of world homelessness. How much did it cost to start the fire I wonder?
Brush fires cause cracks?
The statues are carved out of soft volcanic tuff, which has centuries of rain, wind and weather affecting them. This is why they were destroyed so easily by the brush fires. It's pretty tragic though nonetheless.
Basalt can crack from stress caused by cooling. Basalt melts at 984°-1260° celcius. In an open area where a **grass fire** rages, the temperatures can vary based on conditions. Here are some approximate ranges: **Surface Grass Fire**: - Flames in an average surface grass fire might reach up to **1 meter (3.3 feet)** in height. - The temperatures in such a fire can soar to around **800°C (1,472°F) or more**. - Under extreme conditions, a fire can emit **10,000 kilowatts or more per meter of fire front**. - This translates to flame heights of **50 meters (164 feet) or more** and flame temperatures exceeding **1,200°C (2,192°F)**.
@@Peanutdenver basalt is not soft at ALL
@@charleygnarly1182 Tuff is and that's what kind of basalt was used for the heads. Volcanic material of tuff is formed by fragmentation and destruction of products of basic magma: volcanic glass and poorly-crystallized lava and to varying degrees of crystallized basalt. In its structure, tuffs are coarse-grained and characterized by high porosity and low density...one of the easiest "rocks" to carve, relatively speaking.
But they're not just heads. They dug some up few years ago and there is most of a whole statue down there....experts weong again....think pyramids...
This just looks like a brush fire that singed some of the statues, where are people actually getting the idea that the stone actually melted?
🤷♂️🤷♂️
Laser experiment like Kauai.
Yep... melted stone. Check. Next we'll try diamonds
I think this was done with direct energy weapons
Strange that these statues lasted for so long without a single natural fire to do damage before. Was there nothing burnable before? Unlikely
Space lazers
sulphur ??
Yeah Satan came from the pits of hell and started fire
So what u could have done is called the local fire department?
Really.... the indigenous people don't even have motor vehicles. Fire Department....lol.
@@Iknowright8918 they have phones mate
@@BumboyWillynut maybe.... no fire department to call my man.
@@Iknowright8918 ok fair enough I didn’t know it was so desolate there, did u see the fire coming through the crack in the ground
@@BumboyWillynut yes. Crazy shit
FYI moss will burn when dry
Hot enough to melt stone?
Laser technology
got an email? please
What chemical is used to melt stone?
Same chemicals used in the the twin towers "incident"
Ya very odd no
Flames could be a result of chemical reactions. Not just burning fuel
👽🍿
Can we expect some sort of an update on this? Was Klaus Schwab involved?
Not sure! There hasn't been much news since it was initially reported.
He investigated himself and found no evidence of it!
@@SC-fj2zpplease now is not the time for jokes
These globalist want to destroy the past so they can control the future!
@@SC-fj2zp😂 Sad but true
The Colonizer did it
Dam.... I get blamed for everything.
another site ruined by tourism and "fixing" what doesn't need to be fixed...
