Weather Channel slammed as they air 'human remains' in gross LA wildfire clip

A TV network has been slammed after airing footage of what appears to be human remains – bosses however have hit back. The Weather Channel in the US have been documenting wildfires in California and viewers claim that they had saw human remains. Fires started in parts of Los Angeles on Tuesday and have devastated the state in the days since. The death toll is said to have reached five so far and over 1,000 structures are already believed to have been destroyed in the region.
There's been much coverage of the situation amid residents, including some celebrities, being forced to flee their homes. It has now been suggested the Weather Channel may have aired footage of human remains in a recent segment - though the channel has since dismissed the suggestion in a statement to the Mirror.
A TikTok video, which purportedly shows coverage of the wildfires by the Weather Channel, has been circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter. The video shows what appears to be a destroyed property and it's suggested in it that part of a skeleton - including a skull - is visible at one point as the camera zooms into some of the rubble at the location. It is not clear whether they were human remains.
Sharing the clip on X, one account tweeted on Thursday morning: "Weather channel shows the remains of someone who lost their life in the Palisades fire. Horrifying." Another wrote: "It appears the weather channel wasn't aware what it was airing? If it is what we think it is, that is so sad.".
A third person commented: "I'm confused as well. If it turns out to be what we think, it's incredibly sad and concerning." Another simply responded "horrendous" to one of the posts on the platform. Whilst someone else posted: "Did the @weatherchannel just show a charred skeleton in the rubble of the Los Angeles fires without realizing it?".
