Re: London Tower Block Fire
People trapped in the building. Sadly looking like many fatalities
Live pictures showing a Chinese looking man at his window hoping to be rescued
30 people taken to hospital
Frightening for those people trapped inside, hope they survive

That's terrible. Must be so frightening being in that situation.

It's about as inescapable as the World Trade towers.
Re: London Tower Block Fire
Just been watching it on the news, one guy who got out described it as like a Hollywood Disasters Movie it looks like it, must have been absolutely terrifying.
They have just announced there are fatalities hope its only a small number but somehow I don't think so

Re: London Tower Block Fire
Only one way out when it's something that bad and that is the windows, not a great choice burn or jump, awful. Reading that BBC report the fire brigade were concern about access to the block.Norm wrote:The extent of the flames and the inability of the fire Brigade to get to upper floors means it has to have been lethal Ges

Re: London Tower Block Fire
Heard this briefly on news this morning and there were suggestions that there was no fire alarm sounded - if that's true some of those poor blighters will have had no chance, very saddening.
Re: London Tower Block Fire
Our thoughts are with those who have lost their lives & injured + families/friends of those caught up in this dreadful tragic incident
RIP to all those who have lost their lives
I suspect there'll be many worried families of the firefighters dealing with this fire !

Re: London Tower Block Fire
It's becoming apparent that the cladding installed in the block of flats recently has caused the fire to be so much worst.
Either the council or those who made the decision to clad the building have a lot to answer for

One eye-witness who escaped the flats claiming a friends fridge exploded on the 4th floor of the building
Re: London Tower Block Fire
There are stories - though of course all is yet to be confirmed - that the cladding may have played a part in the extent of the fire1964white wrote:It's becoming apparent that the cladding installed in the block of flats recently has caused the fire to be so much worst.

Re: London Tower Block Fire
Awful, just awful. And I think it's going to get a lot worse. So many people unaccounted for.....
Re: London Tower Block Fire
News reports saying at least 12 have died. One of them a fireman & I reckon the bereaved are the ones who jumped out of the windows
Sadly I suspect there could be 400 to 500 people who have lost their lives.....tragic

And the Whitch hunt begins media speculating on the causes and starting the blame game already!

Disgraceful.

Re: London Tower Block Fire
Absolutely awful what a horrendous way to go.
The same witness who said it was a "white, tall, skinny Briton" now appears to say it was a black Ethiopian!! bit of a discrepancy there.

I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.
Re: London Tower Block Fire
Just watching Channel 4 news..the people affected are blaming the rich vs poor society....and then i see the item on the upcoming "fight of the century" McGregor vs Mayweather....both getting $100m for a pointless pantomime.....i think the residents around that inferno may have a point.
