Another disaster in London, my thoughts are going out to all those families and their loved ones. 

Just been watching it on telly!!! Horrendous.

Certainly a very sad and tragic event. It will be interesting to see how this fire engulfed the block so quickly. I once attended a fire in a flat in a 14 storey block. The fire brigade said that it was usually easy to contain this sort of fire as the flats were, in effect, concrete buildings stacked together.

We're getting it here.

Awful.

Was it avoidable?

Could see it clearly from Richmond Park cycling in this morning, quite the smoke cloud. Terrible for all involved.

Up the outside of the building but within any additional "Cosmetic" cladding  :'(
Then back in wherever it wants too
Our worst nightmare in one of these

Just heard on the news that there were notices in the hallways telling residents to stay in their flats if there was a fire.
Trapped like rats in a cage!!!

Advice the fire brigade were repeating today. I guess there are fires and there are fires.

First notice on all national  TV news...tremendous images

Truly awful. So sad. Thought and prayers to all. Bill.

The question that needs an answer in my opinion is this.
Why spend 6.8 milion making the building look pretty instead of fitting sprinkler systems and emergency lighting in the corridors and stairway .surely safety should come first.
Val and myself send our thoughts to all those affected and R I P to those poor souls that didnt manage to get out .

I'm so sorry to see this.

Lord have mercy.

For me the real heroes in this horrific disaster are the emergency services. Time and time again they went into a building that should never have burnt like it did and what they must have witnessed beggars description.
