2023-08-16 08:43:45 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

This video is unrelated to the 2023 Maui wildfire and the concept of directed-energy weapons (DEWs). The video instead shows electrical explosions from failing power lines in Kenner, Louisiana, USA in December 2018: https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/jefferson/video-electrical-explosions-sparks-light-up-kenner-sky-before-power-outages/289-64c3b654-0d8e-4bb9-b9e1-83d27ea5a247 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY1c-NZPh8A https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/not-direct-energy-weapon-attack-maui/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1691716575018340510

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
