I was there , I talked with the fire investigators at first I thought it was just a simple mechanical failure, for the first few days I even defended PG&E until I found out about the details , I live close by the power lines I always knew they were old BUT Had no idea almost 100 years ! Then I saw photo's of the broken Hook and the mounts ! it was almost beyond my comprehension they would do that and them saying that the lines were inspected ! Well after seeing how easy it would been to see the wear I had to call BULSHIT on the inspection . The insulator stacks just have a regular everyday C hook , that hooks through a steel mounting plate. When they are new the hook just about fills the entire hole that's around 2 1/2 inches in diameter when worn out you could put a couple of fingers in between the hook and the top of the plate . Someone with 10 minutes of instruction could have done the inspection job it was so obvious
These corporations are not inept idiots. They know what happens when a company causes damage through negligence. The fact that nothing happened and the same scenario arises again and again points to this being intentional, and under the supervision, protection, and authority of the government, or the ones who are in control of the government. Hint, hint; It obviously ain't we the people who are controlling the government
Negligence? They have 150,000 miles of transmission lines. There are not enough linemen in the USA to inspection all of those lines. And let's face facts. Shyster lawyers were jumping up and down with glee, because they knew they were going to get very, very rich.
@@TeddyRumble Yeah, but there's plenty of cases where they knew there was a problem at a specific place and didn't do anything about it. And people lost their homes and everything in the fires. Even if you could legitimately make the argument that's it's just too much for them to handle, then they need to be fired and someone who can needs to come in to do the job. You can't continually be the cause of fires that burn people out of house and home and just say, it's not our fault because its too hard.
@@acarpentersson8271 the solution, obviously, is to simply shut the power off on red flag days. I have friends who live in the foothills, and they scream at PG&E everything the power is shut off. Obviously, PG&E shuts power off much more readily these days.
I was there for the Dixie fire also , I followed the first Fire truck into the top of the fire , The story of the start of the Dixie fire is even worse than the start of the Campfire . No one should have even heard about the Dixie Fire if they would have show up in a timely manner to see what the problem was first seen at 7am the first guy didn't get there till 11 am and that was across the river looking at the power lines with binoculars It's a long story but Cal Fire saw it before the PG&E trouble man reported it at almost 5 pm when they were on their way to another fire, Cal Fire immediately had a plane and 2 Helicopters on it dropped on it for couple of hours from far above it looked like the fire was out when a Drone got in the way and they had to call off the air strike. And then the wind came up and caused California's single largest fire in history
Well that's so sad that people lost their homes because of PG&e they should be held accountable and now they're going to be sued for the mosquito fire here in California again I guess they have not learned their lesson shame on them

Blame those Attorneys and that court for those peoples burning deaths. Whenever investigating what the problem is, first consider that the entire town was illegally developed, and none of those people are supposed to be there. 🔥
Where is our money from campfire 2018 in California I lost my mother&father after it was over Lawyer's are getting more money than we are for pg&e destroying our lives now we're only going to get 6 percent plus still having to pay high prices for pg&e monthly bills
I lost my parent's we lost everything I even lost my Bible thinking we would be back. I still cry over loss of family. We were talked into going with Lawyer's be told they would get 30 %of what we agreed on but now we all feel they are getting 70% and we are getting 30%

The reason the hook broke is hurricane force winds. PG&E gets SO MUCH hatred from customers when they shut power off, their inclination is to not shut the power off. PG&E has 150,000 miles of transmission lines. There are simply not enough linemen in the entire country to inspection every hook, every bolt, every wire. That why they shut power off in high winds. The pushback from customers when they do continues to this very day.
This is a lie because most of those hooks thay failed were almost 100 years old. Also, let's not act like PG&E hasn't been raking in record profit for decades. More people could have been hired to prevent this. Tell me what makes pg&e so special that they can't be held to the same standard other electric companies have been held to, with much worse conditions caused from nature.
These corporations should be forced into Government ownership when they refuse to maintain their equipment. Then that is that and they loose the right to provide that resources. FIX IT, OR LOOSE IT
The opinion of this too emotionally biased. My opinion is that the video was and can be well done but it needs to be improved to remove the emotional connotation of the narrator
What crimes, specifically? Did PG&E commit arson? Did they have the mens rea necessary to charge someone in the company? No. Stop with the bullcrap, tubby.
I still don't know whose fault it was. I heard the state limits how many trees can be cleared around power lines because of some green policy. One thing for sure- if you want to live in one of those forest towns you have to be rich because your home insurance is going to be thousands of dollars a year.
That was a town decision to make the bollards. There are many other issues that continue to this day that will make necessary a substantial redesign of the infrastructure. Now they are working to widen Clark Road to 2 lanes.
he cant wrap his head around the reality that the government just doesn't care to fix the crippling infrastructure. it isn't even an orchestrated conspiracy, just corporations being too big to be held liable. Its more profitable to cut corners. greed at the end of the day. But you know there's got to be the big bad guy behind all of our misery so theres an actual enemy to "fight".

The real solution is to go to your breaker box and turn off the main switch. Who do you think will pay for this? Rate payers.

They now shut off the power in ever red flag day, so enjoy no power for weeks.
PG&E is Investor Owned. Profit speaks louder than safety.
Not true, as we have seen.
This doesn't affect them at all, we pay the fines and the increased insurance.
Shareholders take a huge hit, too. Widows and orphan stocks, they call utilities.
Did they ever reach a resolution

Nobody knows where their neighbors went , nobody ever knew what happened to their entire towns
The CEO of PG&E at the time of the Camp Fire left the job the day of the fire.
PG&E is a Evil company
It is not.
They have to put lives before money. I dont see that happening
Yes you do. What other major fires caused by PG&E equipment have you seen since the Camp Fire?
What crimes, specifically? Did PG&E commit arson? Did they have the mens rea necessary to charge someone in the company?
No. Stop with the bullcrap, tubby.

It was faulty, worn out, equipment. They knew how long it would take to wear out those hooks.

@@shirleyandrews1152there's no problem when there aren't 65 mph winds.
So PG&E simply cuts power off. Enjoy!
Stop complaining and keep paying them
The government is to blame for making a bike lane, cutting the roadway down to one lane each way.

84 lives. What a lie
Is it more or less?
Many more@@Kyle-ev4fk
PG&E should be dismantled and turned into a nonprofit government energy provider. PG&E has shown us repeatedly that they cannot handle this service.
Like the government does anything well.
It would be 100 times worse, believe me.

Why not cut down the trees next to your home, keep them at least 75 feet away.

When winds are strong, burning embers can travel over 2 miles through the air and ignite a home.
The wind that morning was 100 mph.
Put the stupid electric lines UNDERGROUND.. GROUND them you idiots
It’s not that easy man. A lot more factors to consider
