Why are there leaves and twigs in the foreground? I thought this guy Paton was a credible source?

Sean is a very credible source. Sean does not speak on a subject or issue without prior confirmation and substantiation several times over. I gather you do not know Mr. Paton and his work to keep Bonaire pristine and free from harm and permanent damage by any means.

Take no notice Carole.

It was because of clowns like him that I & many others stopped posting on here. Keyboard heroes, brave enough to say anything from the anonymity of their computer but not man enough to say it face to face.

I must have missed something. What was wrong with the video?

Uh - could there be leaves and twigs in the foreground because there were leaves and twigs closer to the camera than the fire????

Could there be leaves and twigs in the foreground because the cameraman thought - as most would - that it adds perpective to the shot.

What did you expect - pictures taken from a helicopter, microlight, unmanned drone, or something?

That is the sort of ridiculous posting that makes this whole forum look stupid

don't feed the trolls

Don't get mad at me. It's not my fault Bonaire caught on fire.

Those leaves and twigs are not in the shot. There is no cove South of BOPEC so why was it necessary to add them after filming?

Great camera work......... really disturbing event. Thanks for posting the link Antony.

thank you so much for filming and showing us the damage Antony.

The flames and smoke seems so surreal in this normally beautiful setting. My hopes are for a speedy recovery from this fire for the island, its people and its natural treasures.
