The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this story was the color 'blue' and 'DEWs,' yet no mention of DEWs in the article. The similarity between Lahaina and Palisades ought not escape anyone. Beyond DEWs, there seems to be a fascination among people in the intelligence and space communities with using the term blue to describe their projects or programs that escapes me.

DEW ?

I remember that 30 years ago, my Office Manager would not buy blue highlighters because if you used a blue marker, whatever you highlighted would not show up on a copy. Don’t know if new technology has changed that.

Notice the blue plastic garbage cans to the left of the VW in the picture also are not melted.

Only thing that bothers me about this story is that the VW roof is white - looks to me like only the sides are blue.

How that works from airborne or satellite DEW is a mystery.

It’s a miracle!! We should build a shrine for the sacred blue bus. And pray for the Lady of the Blue VW bus. As soon as it is built I will make my first pilgrimage.

So am I to understand the bus was parked, and was unaffected, virtually untouched, as the fire was raging, directly in front of the apartment complex that was completely destroyed?

I call BS

Now I love me a good VW bus as much as the next guy (or gal), but I don't see how this is possible.. With all the traffic, the fire trucks, the mess, the hoses, the embers, and INTENSE HEAT there was no damage?

Likely the bus was moved back after the fire to make the storyline... Would be more likely..But not near as fun....

The first thing that popped into my head was who would leave their VW bus with a wildfire coming ?

[redfreedom]

That VW bus is identical to the one on TV’s show “Lost”. I wonder if the body of the Dharma maintenance worker is still in it?

Excuse me, but when the DEW starts a fire, it is then a fire like any other and therefore blue items are not magically protected as you seem to believe.
