I have been watching that most of the day, very sad, all those trapped people!!:wah:
I still don't know what caused the fire but apparently the alarm system didn't work and the sprinkler system didn't work either. Seems bad that they didn't have external fire escapes and seems no way to get to the roof either, they were all trapped!!:doh::oops::nope: Such a tragedy, my prayers go out to the grieving loved ones.:wah: |
Really sad for this tragedy...
My thoughts to all these people |

Now that it is known the fire alarm and sprinkler system were inoperative there will surely be severe repercussions for those responsible and rightly so. |
Death traps tower blocks, terrible news to watch can only hope the death toll is low.

Seems the cladding on the outside is under investigation.

Saw on the news over here that some parents were trying to get people to help save their children, were dropping them down to the people below, sadly from the 8th floor!!:wah: I couldn't imagine the fear they were going through, thoughts and prayers go out to them all.
|
Some eyewitness accounts are much worse than that Eddie but I'm not wanting to add to the tragedy.
God bless them all. |
Wonder what caused the fire?:hmmm:
Anyone got some pics of what the building looked like before the fire?:doh: |
I've been keeping up with it as far as I could today. This is truly among a firefighter's worst nightmare. I'm not going to try to speculate on the cause.

As far as what I have heard as to the cause of the fire, only thing they said for sure that it started on the 4th floor, but the cause is unknown yet. |
