Terrible! I notice in the picture that the tower doesn't seem to have flammable "cladding" like Grenfell Tower did, so I wonder how the fire spread. Maybe the interior had too many wooden materials? That has been a factor in other high rise fires. Flammable furnishings can be lethal, even if the exterior of a building is concrete/brick.
I hope they change fire codes as a result (here in the US, it always takes tragedies for changes in code to be made - unfortunately).
