What went wrong in Maui? Last week a fire burned the historic city of Lahaina to the ground and killed at least 93 people, the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. Some local politicians have called the fire the worst natural disaster in Hawaii's history, and compared it with the 1960 tsunami in Hilo, although a 1946 tsunami in Hilo, caused by an earthquake in Alaska, killed 158.
