Yeah, I remember watching the events unfold live and saw two people jumping to their deaths. The events were only aired once before being cut out but my media box has a replay function and I went back and played the scene in very slow motion to ensure my initial observations were correct.....sadly, they were.

The News here was showing the same thing directly from this terrible fire.
When seeing this unfolding in front of my eyes I came to think of a similar situation that happened about 16 years earlier. It will not be the last time we will be witness to such terrible scenarios. Markus |

Remember that kind of thing from the Twin Towers on 9/11 Jim, couldn't believe it! And just how dangerous it was for the rescue teams trying to get in the buildings, getting hit by a body falling at that speed, was down right dangerous and they had to keep an eye out best they could.

Now another big fire at that market in Camden, glad no one was hurt this time round.

Just saw a reportage:
Laws are made in a way that those wo are responsible get off the hook easily, while the numbers of victims are "acceptable" and do not count, because it was only social housing for poor people, and a real renovation was considered as not worth it anyway. I hope those heralds of free enterprise die a horrible death themselves

Yeah, I love it when I hear that we don't need government oversight because the free market will make businesses do the right thing. Trust corporations. Yeah, I used to believe that too, then I grew up.

It is way beyond me why the PM has not appointed commissioners to run the local authority until this mess is sorted out.
