London tower block fire.

[RED-DOG]

I really hope it doesn't turn out as deadly as it looks.

Dreadful, hard to resist getting political if you find the Grenfell Tower Block blog that is linked to elsewhere.  I am on phone, so can't link, but there were some prophetic warnings on this.  We should wait for the causes to be found though. 

RIP those involved.  I hope any lessons are learned and acted on very quickly.

Yeah seen someone comment on FB that they had read it might be terrorist related, no idea if true. Looks very serious...

Looks absolutely terrible.

How on earth in this day and age can a residential tower block like this not have the most stringent fire regulations/safety equipment. Especially as it had a major re-fub a couple of years ago.

My business, not far away, is an old building with 4 floors. We can have about 40 people in the building at one time. The London Fire authority on inspecting, quite rightly made us spend thousands on upgrading fire safety when we opened. They inspected,re-inspected and issued strict guidelines and deadlines. Surely even more inspections and enforcement should be operating on these high risk residential tower blocks.

I doubt it.  There was a witness on the radio said it started in a flat opposite his on the 4th floor.  The issue is how fast it spread, which doesn't seem in doubt.

Seems the firefighters were very brave.  Hope they all got out safely too.

Absolutely horrendous.  I couldn't think of anything worse than dying in a fire.

10 million spent. Not a word on safety.

RIP to all those unfortunate not to have made it out alive

Those responsible (local council??) looking at criminal charges surely?

Easier to blame Jonny Foreigner the terrorist than who is actually to blame.

I wasn't blaming anyone, it was nothing more than a throw away comment from reading the news for 1 min and FB for 1 min before starting work...

Bullshit, there is always going to be speculation with big incidents until the cause is know.

Anyway, you are speculating it's 'browns' because I mentioned the word terrorist, that's racist innit?
