Fire Horror in London

[dunover]

Just watching the news live - London tower block gutted, horrific scenes and casualties.

The question begs how the fuck a whole building caught fire.

Somebody will need to answer to this surely.

 

[dunover]

It seems the cladding added 2 years ago acted like a candle. People threw children out onto concrete rather than see them burn alive. Awful.

I read the article and thought why the fuck the alarm didn't go off in the building as one eyewitness claimed. I hope a through investigation is done as to why the building caught on fire and why the alarm didn't go off and people be held accountable for this. This is a harrowing story. So sad.

And the fire alarm didn't go off - so no-one was woken up.

How can they not have tested the cladding to see if it was fire-resistant?! Surely that's test number 1 on the list of obvious things to do?!

There's some corporate manslaughter or negligent manslaughter charges coming for someone soon....

Horrific

This makes horrible reading:

If any of these allegations are true then somebody will have to face prison for it surely. The residents have been warning for years that a disaster was waiting to happen

Especially that one - looks like their worst fears have come true...
All those at the KCTMO should be quaking in their boots now - i hope the law catches up with them...

I saw this earlier this morning and it's horrific how the tower became an inferno so quickly, god all those poor people trapped in the tower, I can't imagine how terrified they must have been - as others have said someone needs to be held accountable, I dread to think what the death toll will finally be, the trauma for the children and those with severe burns, it doesn't bear thinking about!

 

[lotusch]

I am following this as well since early this morning.
Unbelievable that the cladding of the building could catch fire so quickly and changed the place into an inferno.
God knows how many bodies this will find. Horrific.

Even with the cladding, that shouldn't have happened and COULDN'T have unless there was a funnel effect, i.e. air sources from both inside and outside the building. Because there was no alarms, people understandably panicked and legged it out, probably leaving their doors open. This would massively increase airflow and exponentially make the fire about 8x more efficient. The cladding heat would 95% rise up past windows if it ONLY had external air feeding it, it had to be drawn into the building in some way to spread laterally too. I'm sure the tragic reason will be revealed.

I saw it on the telly and was wondering how a whole building could be on fire like that. I pray for the victims.

It's an absolutely horrifying situation - I can't believe what I'm seeing on the news. God love them.

Reading the blog by the Grenfell Action Group (

), there's no doubt there were serious issues with the building that were ignored by the KCTMO.

Anyone Hear if this was an accident or intentional?

 

[greylady]

Seemingly a power surge in one of the flats and a fridge started the fire, so it was on the news channel.

 

[lockinlove]

I havent read it or saw anything on the news because im avoiding it. I dont like to read stuff like this. Suffocating or dying from fire is just a disgusting way to go. Or having to throw kids out of a window or watching them burn alive. I cant even imagine and dont want to read the stories. I did see on yahoo the building engulfed which looked like a volcano exploding. And the headline said someone threw a baby out and someone on the ground caught it.

Wow. Terrible tragedy

 

[geordiecolin]

As with so many other avoidable tragedies we will constantly hear " Lessons will be learned" Only last Saturday those residents where visited by the fire service and other officials where they where told in case of fire stay in your flat until help arrives. How many perished needlessly due to that advice?

 

[lockinlove]

Ahhh it didnt take long for the pond scum liberal media to make this about something they shouldnt.

There is already poor old syrian refugee killed articles popping up. The latest is on yahoo where the article reads "Escapes Assad but the UK failed him". Oh really, I would have to say the UK gave him a chance at a normal life and a terrible accident (possibly avoidable) killed him.

 

[nojoke]

Very sad indeed.

They used cladding that wasn't up for the job. When in fact the correct cladding would of only cost £2 more a square. Yet they chose against this.
Also the previous re-generation cost upwards of 10 million, people are questioning where exactly that money was spent.
Also proof of risk assessment and fire procedures in place.
Nice to see the good old religion of peace helping the 'community' well helping the majority of there own from the building.

Lets hope that corruption has not played a part

Nobody's denying it was a tragic accident, yet the liberal media is really driving the point home with who they can blame, using this opportunity to politicise the whole situation. So....Labour would have magically prevented a random fire outbreak, would they?

We're also reminded at every minute of the day that these people are greater victims than anyone else involved in other accidents throughout history, given their predominantly poor ethnic backgrounds.

Storming Town Halls and assaulting/ heckling staff is typical of emotionally- stunted people, and isn't helping anyone. Protesting on the streets in droves......but for the London Bridge/ Westminster/ Manchester attacks......nope, didn't see it.

Selective virtue signalling, makes me sick how it's dominating the news, not to mention how Theresa May is getting the 'Trump' treatment now that she's a target.

So again, a horrible event that may have been prevented, but the racial media preference is plain for all to see.

If anyone should be protesting, they should be out front of these news buildings chanting and holding signs for them to stop the never ending vomiting news they pump out.

The establishment want to force May to resign and replace her with someone who has a more empathetic personality who will appeal to the masses. IMO.

This is NOT an attempt at humour, but did any UK-facing casinos pull that Flame Busters retro slot after this tragic event? With a theme of fire rising up levels of a building it may have been deemed in poor taste by some casinos? Anybody notice it missing or unavailable since the event?
