Summary
The article discusses the release of a list of 388 people who are still missing after deadly wildfires in Maui County. The FBI compiled the list and is asking the public to contact them if they can confirm the safety of any of the individuals. The release of the names coincided with Maui County suing utility company Hawaiian Electric for damages over its alleged role in triggering the wildfires. The article also mentions that more than 1700 people originally listed as missing have been accounted for, but at least 115 people have perished in the blazes. The Maui wildfires are described as the deadliest in the U.S. in over a century and the worst disaster in Hawaii state history. The police chief acknowledges that not all remains may be found and compares the search to recovery operations at ground zero after the 9/11 attacks.
