Fire in london

Thank you

Also from this article: “some residents had tried to move up the building to escape the flames and it is thought a number of people may have ended up in one flat”

I saw an article in which one local resident claimed that a firefighter told him they had found 40+ bodies in a single apartment on the upper floors. I certainly don’t know whether that’s true or not, but I am sure that the police vaguely acknowledging that a number of people ended up in a single flat is only going fuel further anger and suspicion that the death count is far understated.

When you have 23 entire flats in which no one survived (plus another 18 victims from flats where at least some survived), it’s difficult to see how the total number of victims could be only 80. Especially during Ramadan when there would have been many guests in the building…

Those poor people! How frightening and hopeless their last moments must have
been.

It seems to happen in fires, esp bushfires here where there is no escape. People are known to be together and pray. I can’t imagine the terror and the bravery at this point.

In really intense fires, sorting out identification can be very problematic and in some cases, impossible.

Yes, when you know what fate awaits you and nowhere to go. Terror and bravery.

But still, they’re only “perceived failings” .

Sorry to hear about Belfast. The more reports that come out, the more it seems that this kind of incident was bound to happen at some point. Those in Grenfell, tragically, happened to be the ones hit.
