These images are a stark contrast for those who know the area well. I’ve flown over the area in a helicopter on a few occasions courtesy of Group 3 Aviation, based at Van Nuys Airport. This photo of the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset Boulevard was taken on September 28, 2022.
Here is that area Thursday night:
