HORRIBLE fire in London

Livestream, catch it if you are awake rn.

Looks like it's gonna collapse. I'm watching live, I haven't seen people jumping but the comments say some did. Thinking it might be arson, a microwave fire can't cause this.

Seen some rumors that a fridge blew up?

It looks horrific my mum can see it from her workplace

The cause isn't known yet, 50 ppl injured and multiple fatalities

Some residents said fire alarms didnt go off

Wow, that looks horrific. I bet it had to be something big to cause a fire like that. Hopefully people got out without having to jump.

6 people dead

Some people were seen jumping and a lady had to throw her baby down from the 9th/10th floor

[Charlie]

Oh wow, that's insane. I can't imagine how hard that must have been.

“There’s no fire alarms in the corridors, no sprinklers, nothing. There’s only smoke detectors in the flat and they didn’t go off.”

the fire spread at an “unbelievable” speed. “Things were just falling off, the debris, it was shocking how fast it spread. I think it was new material - it’s just been renovated. There’s been fires there before and that’s never happened.”

I can't believe there isn't fire alarms or sprinklers in a building like that, you'd think it'd be a hazard not to have them in case of situations like these. Plus the fact that someone has said there has been fires there before, but this one seems to just spread so quickly also shocks me. Should they be making these buildings strong enough to withstand such things, not just collapse?

Lots of residents blaming the plastic cladding which was put on as part of an £8m refurb for the speed it spread

[Charlie]

Makes sense, although if you're spending that type of money on a refurb you wanna make sure it's good quality and won't result in things like this. My girlfriend lived in London for a few years and she said that things are done cheaply there so that might explain it but cutting corners costs lives.

Apparently they were told, in event of a fire, to stay in their flats.

The lesson? Never listen to authority/experts when it doesn't add up.
