    Absolutely sickening. How do they sleep at night..

    Imagine being on one of those high floors knowing there is no way you can get out. It's the stuff of nightmares.... and waiting to be burned alive has got to be one of the worst way's of going..

    Nice to see the helicopter's flying in close enough to film people though..

    Jeez man. Gut wrenching to watch..

    Blood on tory hands. BJ shut 10 fire stations in London some years back which would have made a difference.

    * sickening

    The first command in Lenin's Hanging Order pretty much sums up how I feel about these * that have effectively killed these people to pocket themselves more cash:

    1. Hang (and make sure that the hanging takes place in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known landlords, rich men, bloodsuckers.

    See a lot of this in China now with dodgy building works. They use a firing squad. I've no problem with either

    Seems a bit * up that sprinklers aren't actually legally required in high rise residential buildings.

    They are on new builds. This was built 40 years ago.

    Truely tragic. Have been following this all day cant get over how quick the building went up. RIP :54:

    Really feel for the emergency services down in London,they have had some time of it recently and have been doing amazing with what they have.

    They said some people were told to put blankets under their doors to stop the smoke and just wait, some guy being interviewed said this and when he tried to ring back one woman after a few mins of telling her that she did not answer. So awful, what horrible way to die. Someone has blood on their hands I just hope they right people get done and are not protected, be it the Tories or the council or the building company.

    It's not happened for what must about a decade but I'm pretty sure blocks like this in London were fire risks, remember as a kid a block just like that had a gas explosion in kennington and the old Aylesbury estate running from elephant and castle right up to near peckham would regular catch fire, to the point they have near torn the whole thing down.

    This is utterly unacceptable no matter what, and every single MP who voted against the changes whether they had a conflict or not should be taken to task and their position stripped along with being responsible for paying out to survivors along with any next of kin who are left behind.

    terrible and tragic news. RIP to all who had to go way too early. as soon as the rescue mission is over it's time to take those responsible for the desaster in the first place.

    Looks like the Tories are running for cover over this, their was a similar fire in 2009 and they never followed a review after an enquiry into it, but let's not make it political. :87:
