Hawaii, known for its interesting and marvelous natural attractions. From volcanoes, to lookouts, and the wonderful ocean blue. But, there are many downsides to these tropical attractions. Due to them being "natural," anything can happen, you can't stop it, but you can be warned. That is what the government lacks when the tourists come from all over. Warning signs are needed so people that aren't aware of these dangerous activities, are ready and cautious for negative outcomes.
Visitors of these dangerous, but beautiful attractions, are not warned about the bad possibilities that can happen to them. Is it there fault? Maybe. But who's to blame for when they get injured? The government is, for not putting up signs and warnings for these off limits, or dangerous places. In Maui, there is a popular blowhole called Nakalele Point. David Potts, a tourist from California, approached the blowhole, unaware of any bad outcomes. "... a large wave struck him from behind and knocked him into the hole." The Maui Fire department had to do a 3-day sea, land, and air search for him, but there was no sign anywhere. Another story about a 22 year old man that got hit by wave, happened just the day after the blowhole incident. "... was killed when a wave knocked him off a rocky cliff in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision and swept him 100 yards offshore." The landowners did not put signs of potential hazards. These tourists are not warned and are losing lives, or getting injured because of simple signs that aren't put up.
The Hawaii state government is responsible for the injuries and deaths of tourists that are unaware of the possible outcomes of these natural disasters. These victims are innocent and did not know that their lives were in danger. The Hawaii state government is at fault and should be sued. Can you imagine how these people's families feel? Maybe the government will learn a lesson and put up signs and warning, so incidents like these don't happen.
