Los Angeles, United States - January 10, 2025 A dramatic video shared by X user Marshall Hayner on January 10 captured a massive smoke cloud from the devastating Palisades Fire, with helicopters flying dangerously close to the glowing inferno as it loomed over the city. Hayner warned in his post that if the fire breaches Tarzana and Encino, it could rapidly expand toward Hollywood, Sunset, and eventually Downtown Los Angeles, calling the disaster "a catastrophe never seen before in U.S. history." The Palisades Fire has already ravaged the Pacific Palisades neighborhood, destroyed beachside communities, and forced mass evacuations across Los Angeles County. Tens of thousands remain under evacuation orders or warnings, with fire crews working tirelessly to prevent further devastation.
