Tower block ablaze in West London . No mention of terrorists . Did occur to me it could be a possible " revenge attack " ? ?

Just seen that on the news looks terrible, people still trapped in the tower block. Thoughts and best wishes to anyone there.

Can't imagine anyone can have survived being trapped in there.

 

Truly awful incident.

 

I don't understand why we have such buildings, yet appear to have no equipment for dealing with such a blaze?

It seems Dave that it was recently " clad " with alot of very flammable plastic . The locals have been concerned since it was done .

Yes, but presumably this will have been signed off by building control?

It's absolute lunacy the materials we build dwellings out of.

If this fire was an accident , the next one won't be.

It does make you wonder about terrorism.

Does not look good at all, Horrible thing and best wishes to all involved.

You would think so , yes . Perhaps the spec of some of the material needs addressing ?

You would think so, but it seems anything gets signed off, I wrote about something similar here.

There was no fire booster pumps in the block of flats I worked on a few years ago. If the block in the link should have caught fire there was no way of getting water upto the top.

Just watching an interview with a chap who lived there, was saying no alarm went off and they only knew because of a knock at the door, noone there when he answered it so obviously someone was doing there best to help get out knocking as many doors as possible
