Fire in tower block in London.

[5 Sams]

This isn't looking good lads. Pictures on the BBC website show the whole 27 floor residential tower block ablaze.

Just looking at some of the footage, it doesn't look good at all. Horrifying.

Shocking lads, absolutely shocking

[Shamrock Shore]

Looks like it was one big giant flammable building. Shocking - I am sure the fatalities will be massive. Hope I'm wrong.

Residents were complaining about fire safety standards in the building in the recent past so for them to be proved correct......

People at work saying it was recently re-furbed to the tune of £10 million. Just awful.

Reports that some residents were told to stay put and not evacuate the building, utter chaos. You gotta fear for the death toll in that inferno.

KCTMO – Playing with fire!

"It is a truly terrifying thought but the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the  KCTMO, and bring an end to the dangerous living conditions and neglect of health and safety legislation that they inflict upon their tenants and leaseholders. We believe that the KCTMO are an evil, unprincipled, mini-mafia who have no business to be charged with the responsibility of  looking after the every day management of large scale social housing estates and that their sordid collusion with the RBKC Council is a recipe for a future major disaster."

Young lad being interviewed said that those who called 999 were told to stay in their apartment until someone came to rescue them, advice that probably contributed to the tragedy.

No sprinklers or the like I'm guessing? Smoke alarms? Evacuation plan?

[Denn Forever]

Residents were told to close their doors as they were Fire Doors and they would hold out until the fire brigade would get there.  No word about what they should do when the clading outside starts burning.

Those images are horrifying.
