Definetly mate,Notting Hill is in West London.

JIBBBY · 06-13-17, 11:34 PM

Saw that..

I find it hard to believe a simple fire ignited then engulfs an entire high rise like that.. I'm under the impression these high rise building are mostly made of cement and steel and have water sprinkler systems in place? I know they have that here in America..

Gotta wonder if this is another ISIS attack? Using accelerants in hallways and then running out or something...

I'm sure a few people were trapped and died in that inferno..

How does one side of a tall building go up in flames like that?

Probably needs to happen for real change to begin and to protect the people unfortunately Packard.. Only more Islamic terrorist attacks will wake up the people and silence the libs in power.. Like 9/11 did for a short time here in America..

Yep. If change needs to happen, the ones that make the rules have to be affected.

They put millions into the building recently to make it look better. Just not anything to do with safety. No sprinkler systems, or fire escapes.

Otters27 · 06-14-17, 05:49 AM

Damn terrible. Just terrible.

funnyb25 · 06-14-17, 12:09 PM

cashin81 · 06-14-17, 12:16 PM

A broken fridge apparently started it.

No working fire alarm and poor safety measures. 12 dead now.

Not sure how London lawsuits work but that should be an enormous one

jjgold · 06-14-17, 01:18 PM

They lucked out more people did not die

One is too many but this could've been a disaster

The London Fire Brigade screwed up on so many levels that they're to blame for people dying. Not only did they not get around to forcing the owners of the building to fix the safety problems, they told people to stay in their upper level apartments for no reason!!!! They had no way of stopping the fire and it wasn't till it was completely engulfed did they tell people to make a run for it. A freaking disgrace!!!

JIBBBY · 06-14-17, 07:20 PM

Alot of homeless people with out belongings to recover after that fire... Clothes all burned up, etc.. Fires the destroy your home suck

...

Basically you have to start over.. Needless to say you lose all your family history of pictures and what not.. What do you grab trying to escape? Maybe your laptop and any cash or valuables that you carry while running out the door?

London fire: Why are people told to 'stay put'?

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-40273715

Notices in fire-stricken high-rise Grenfell Tower told residents to "stay put". Why is that standard advice?

jjgold · 06-16-17, 07:05 AM

30 dead now

terrible

However, Commander Cundy has said earlier there was "a risk that sadly we may not be able to identify everybody".

When previously asked about the number of dead, he said he hoped the death toll would not reach "triple figures".

Just goes to show that your mind immediately goes to blaming the brown guy. You can no longer impartially analyze anything as your brain has Fox-washed into thinking immediately an act of terrorism has been committed by a muslim.

The narrative right now in the national media is how hate speech is now a political tool. It's very true and we've known for years that the pendulum had swung too far and both bases were becoming fanaticals. You sir definitely fit into this group. I hope you can retrain your brain to think in a rationale way and stop being a goddamned imbecile.

You would have to be an imbecile to not consider terrorism at first with what has gone on in London lately.

The difference is now that there is more info out Jibby isn't linking it to terrorism

You lunatics on the left would still be finding a way to blame Trump
