[idahoblues]

Where is that? Sorry, just saw link

 

[Bill Walker]

Just said London

 

[TCIB]

Yeah for those notable to see the link title, this is in London. I am reading reports this was a bad fire hazard building.

Christ almighty the pictures are horrifying!

 

[RandomJ]

I hope everyone got out in time.

Heard a witness on 5 Live he said the fire brigade couldn't have saved any of those above the fourth floor. This could be horrendous.

Christ, those pictures are like something out of a film. The whole tower is engulfed.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Jesus Christ I Hope they got out, its like Towering inferno.

Just heard a reporter on 5Live who lives about 400 yards from those flats. He said that recently the buildings had a fire inspection, and that the findings were that although the flats all had internal fire alarms, there was no communal one. He also said that advice given to residents was that if there was a fire, they were to stay in their accommodation. Some quite distressing reports on 5Live right now from an eye witness who was there on the scene.

That looks horrible.

Hope it doesn't turn out as bad as it would appear to be, for evacuating the folks who lived there.

 

[malg]

There is a guy called Jodi on 5Live who lives close to the scene, and who went inside to help. He was at the scene for about an hour. He has some very harrowing eye witness accounts about people in the building. To be honest, it's not good to listen to, and I won't put on here what he's saying as it could upset people.

Wow wtf? That looks absolutely horrifying hope everyone got out safe although it doesn't look promising looking at those pics.

What could have started that? It's huge.

Shit, that looks awful. Hope they managed to evacuate everyone in time, although I imagine that won't have been easy given the time it started.

There's still live pictures with some poor bloke waving out of a window.

This looks horrendous, hope they've managed to save as many as possible. Apparently 500 people live in the flats :(
