I was doing OK until I recognized "It Is Well With My Soul." Then I lost it! You did an EXCELLENT job putting this together!

[@BevMott]

Thank you John! I thought the song was perfect for it. Amid the tragedy we have to remember what's important.

[@Gamercowboy14]

@@BevMott I’m sad that the fire happened 7 years ago today, hopefully you can make a trip there again.

[@wendyrocchietti7580]

I wish you had included Circle Drive and davenport. I lost everything that night and doubt I'll ever get over it. Thank you for this video

[@melissalittle2443]

How are you doing now?

[@romevicki1]

Great job of before and after. I know it took a long time to put this together but we appreciate it very much....best video I've seen of the fire. Thank you again.

[@BevMott]

Thank you! I didn't know how hard it would be until halfway through making the video. I couldn't do the previews and editing with the sound on without crying. I've never been so glad to finish a project.

[@Artaxerses1945]

Wonderful compilation

[@PhilFeedback]

Great job recording this, thanks for posting this video. My wife and I stayed at the Tree Tops Resort this past week, it's one thing to see it on a video and totally different to see it in person.

[@blonderosie3]

So very heart breaking. I love this area and have stayed in the Chalet Village area in the past. To think that is where the mother and her two daughters lost their life, as well as others in the area, is beyond imagination. God Bless each and every person who lost so much. Praying for them all. Thank you for posting this video.

[@kristaguerrerowoden]

Excellent job. The music is beautiful.

[@karinwebb2369]

Great job! So very sad to watch, though. My husband and I lost our house a day later in the Tornado in Athens, TN. I know now how it feels to loose everything. Then again, we lost just things. 14 lives were lost in the fire and I herewith would like to express my deepest sympathy to the families of those who got killed.

[@britneylaster5501]

This is probably one of the best videos made. It really shows how devastating this fire was and how much changed because of it happening. I love Gatlinburg and will be back there next month. My heart goes out to everyone there and those affected by this. Such a tragic thing. Stay strong. We all got your back. Much love.

[@rosepinkladyking6290]

I'm so sorry u guys had to go through this I know how it feels to lose everything in a fire I've been through 2 myself prayers coming from Alabama god bless u all

[@missnoname9704]

I'm so sorry for all of the loss you all have suffered. We love it there so much. Such a gorgeous peaceful place. Prayers from WV.🙏

[@sammymartin8390]

my dad is a Eletrican a builder we did work for had a cabin they use to own on Willey Oakley it is gone now the music on this one made it more touching prayers from ga

[@WhittyPics]

So sad. There were some very beautiful homes lost.

[@deirdrepasko9056]

Very touching music. It made me cry,--I know the history of the hymn. The first one that is. Very fitting. May God heal all those affected, and thank-you for making this film.

[@kenspencer9895]

Very touching . . .

[@trenthood478]

watched alot of videos, still coming back 2017 for a beautiful bike ride. Hate what happened, but the south is strong and will rebuild. God bless

[@eltoro6688]

As heartbreaking as this vid is It will forever represent to me that Gatlinburg and the GSMNP WILL return better than ever! Thanks for sharing!

[@bay9886]

Our lives can change in an heart beat. Will our hearts ever heal?

[@lorikennison8938]

So very sad. Prayers from Vermont

[@bradoconnell4015]

My ❤ bleeds for the smokies. Such a gut wrenching tragedy. Prayers to all who have been affected by this. Gatlinburg and the surrounding communities are MOUNTAIN STRONG!!

[@BevMott]

Amen! Beautiful sentiment.

[@dougmorris5625]

This is tragic beyond belief. Even with insurance, many items can never be replaced such as family photo albums.

[@hattiem.7966]

Those 2 little punks got away with it!!

[@sassylady2001]

How very sad. Beautiful homes to ashes. Hope it comes back better than ever.

[@agoogleuser1991]

i watch a video of someone exploring this place and found a swing set that was ok but yeah nice video i felt really sorry for poeple who passed away during the fire

[@music4me200]

We were there when this happened, most scared I have ever been!

[@Artaxerses1945]

Should drive through and see the comeback everything new and tastefully done

[@jacoblangston4334]

I cried and the music just made it worse but I feel so bad for those who lost their beautiful homes

[@jeffdangelo5028]

Could you do an updated video of whats been rebuilt what it looks like currently

[@WhittyPics]

Excellent job putting this together. I guess the before images came from Google maps?

[@BevMott]

Thank you. yes, the before images came from Google maps.

[@madisoncountysirens4295]

Kids, this is why we don’t play with matches.

[@christinestange4813]

So terribly sad .... even as time passes.

[@jan7240]

To think kids were responsible for all this devastation it's heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for the owners of those lovely homes.

[@pattomlinson2754]

Very nice job thank you so sad.. The place i loved to come too was called Jake's run gone now.

[@drpastry]

wow..this is so very sad and knowing people lost their lives,homes,vehicles,everything..gone. I live in the south and we are very strong people when we come and work together and they will rebuild but it will be a pain stakingly slow process and i really hope the IRS and places like that gave the people who lost their homes and all of their belongings a break on their land taxes because they have all been hit very very hard.I also hope that Dolly Parton's charity telethon that was on will stand by their word and continue to issue the promised $1000 a month to help them rebuild stays put but have already heard that people who were told they would receive the money haven't gotten any help what so ever and if this were to be true,that would be so cold hearted of them.God bless this whole area of the smokies and i plan on going up there in March 2017 to help in anyway that i can.

[@pdmacgregor]

You live one street away from us' we can see your house from ours; nice to meet you.

[@Krampus5150]

had to stop midway through...making me sick....god dam fire takes everything!!! hopefully everyone had insurance...

[@gabifrancis7414]

I sent to Gatlinburg today and you can still see the burn trees it is so sad I only live 2 hours away from there but I remember hearing on the news Gatlinburg is on fire and I first thought of the aquarium and everyone who lives there

[@janetstringfield9187]

I was there during the fire to this day I still feel sad for the people and for reason it all caught fire.

[@autumndanyel21]

This was a nightmare. So sorry to everyone who lost loved ones.

[@Tashiq]

That is so sad what a shame...what a shame😔

[@Magicman0430]

Well this has tought me one thing... That's if you ever have the money build A full fire retardant house....

[@Magicman0430]

Also my heart goes out to those who lost so much...

[@mpmonzon]

I cant believe nobody is in prison for this , sheriff’s relative , I heard

[@AydenYoung]

At least most people made it out ok that's the most important thing we can make new humans but we cant bring back the dead

[@bennieboolover9770]

I cried becase I was in all these places two days before this fire

[@Tashiq]

that is reaky bad😢😤but yester day i went to gatlinburg......and........and......it was tarible all the trees were knocked down.....it was very sad...😢😭😭.....over 100 people died in the fire...and the people who caused it were playing with matches and throwing them on the ground and it started to cause a fire..... rip to all the people who died......sadly

[@BevMott]

Fourteen people were confirmed dead in the fire. Their names are: Constance Reed and her daughters Chloe, and Lily Reed. Rev. Ed Taylor Jon and Janet Summers Alice Hagler Bradley Phillips Elaine Brown Pamela Johnson Robert Alan Hejny John and Marilyn Tegler May Vance More than 1700 structures destroyed and 100,000 acres burned.

[@mpmonzon]

They should use bricks next time , looks that were made of cardboard

[@williammarkwordt1452]

AWESOME video...thanks for sharing...but get the kleenex ready before you watch.

[@watchthe1369]

Steep slope with heavy fuel is a guarantor of a home's death. So, sad. Maybe turning hobbit is a better choice?

[@emilykaelin2017]

I am in gatlinburg right now

[@donseymour5560]

Don't forest fires burn trees as well as houses and autos?

[@paulsmallriver6066]

how couldl you possible miss seeing all of the burned trees? They are in every frame.

[@TheShiftersMusic]

Trees are literally full of water. You will only see scortched bark usually. Homes and cars burn to the ground before trees will.

[@George_M55729]

Do I like it so other people can see it, or do I dislike it because I don't like what's happened?

[@scoobyandscrappy1]

So sad, but it looks like they have been using DEW's here. Tree's still alive but homes totally disintegrated to nothing. Just like Santa Rosa - sickening!

[@TheShiftersMusic]

Sweetie, trees are full of water and usually survive even the hottest forest fires. That's why you can see scortched rings inside of the tree from past forest fires. The VAST majority of the trees will remain standing in ANY forest fire. Even in drought conditions.

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

When the punks who started the fires go to prison, I hope they're made to continually watch this video clip (and others like it, including pictures of all the people who died) day and night, round the clock, nonstop until they're sufficiently driven crazy.

[@BevMott]

In the words of Michael Reed who lost his wife and two daughters, "I hope for forgiveness for the two boys. My son is 15, it could just as easily have been him. Teenager are stupid and do stupid things."

[@wandaheard2693]

They didn't a day out of taking 14 people's lives. What a shame 😥 Must not had a Judge that lost anything . I bet you if he had they would be under the jail. How in the world can them young men sleep at night??? I bet they offered to go back by up there and help anyway they could. They was not given house rest nothing. They did the crimes they need to be doing hard time. You can't get your family back that lost. By the hands of evil. God have mercy on their souls. vengeance mine said the Lord. Their day is on its way. Feel no sorrow for them or their parents. I don't know how the parents sleep at night . such of them in jail.

[@adammcdonald3632]

@@wandaheard2693 The prosecutor dropped the charges before it ever got in front of a judge. He said it was the wind that took the lives and spread the fire.
