Firefighters are working to put out a blaze on the historic Oceanside, California pier, which is about halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego in Southern California. Early reports are that a vacant restaurant (which used to be a Ruby's diner) caught fire which has spread to the rest of the pier. Fire departments both via the beach and on the surf with fireboats are attempting to control the flames, as intense thick smoke billows toward the coastline towns.

Insurance claim… they were due for a new pier.. it was on the news months ago. Way too much of a coincidence

@jmldreamer 18 күн бұрын

When the reporter said Vacant restaurant that tells you all you need to know ! Either the homeless started it or maybe an insurance claim !

@bluegold21 18 күн бұрын

Maybe kids playing with matches or lighters. Maybe old wiring. Sunlight lensed onto wood or any chemical materials/containers that may have been left behind can be like bombs. I don't know the weather but lighting is an ignition source. Maybe old split metal clashing together creating sparks that fly onto a dust pile or paint chips. So many causes but let us all think of homeless people whenever we see an abandoned structure and blame them. If every abandoned structure was filled with the homeless don't you think it would show a bit of humanity to show concern for their well-being and question why, if it were true, there should be so many living that way?

This also happened in 1976 so it’s possible that it’s another insurance claim for federal money

@@strangeworldmasterjack143 I also mentioned the prejudice this comment makes concerning the homeless but my comment has strangely gone missing. The author is basically comparing the destitute to corrupt business owners. That's autocratic fascism for ya. Especially as corrupt business owners get away with tonnes of crap in the US costing the public billions every year in lost revenue via tax cheats and faux insurance claims. One such battle is happening in NY right now. But apparently, homeless people are top of the list for causing damage. If that is how people think then they will never be help.

its called a sea breeze and it usually happens in the day time next to the ocean because the sun is heating up the ground causing the air to heat up and rise and the colder more dense air from the ocean coming in to replace the rising air. that is why most airplane taking off from an airport next to the ocean will usually take off and land toward the ocean.
