Side By Side Before & After videos of CA Fires Destruction - 3-2024 & 1-2025

When Simran and Ishaan filmed a walking tour of Palisades Village and Pacific Palisades in March last year, they captured the sunny, easy-going vibe of the upscale shopping outlet and surrounding neighborhood with a 360 degree camera.

Ten months later, all that's left are building shells, twisted metal, ashes and debris, after the Palisades Fire ripped through the area on Tuesday (January 7).

Reuters walked in Simran and Ishaan's footsteps and recreated their tour, showing the marked contrast between the two videos.

Reuters was able to verify the location of Simran and Ishaan's footage from the buildings, signs, trees and roads which matched file and satellite imagery of the area. The source confirmed the date of the footage. — Reuters
