A huge fire has engulfed a tower block in Latimer Road, west London, with eyewitnesses claiming people are trapped in their homes.
The fire at Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West Estate was reported at 01:16 BST and about 200 firefighters are tackling the blaze. BBC article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-40269625

Some eyewitnesses are claiming that a number of people are trapped inside the building and the firefighters are unable to access all the apartments. There is an imminent threat of the structure collapsing completely. If that happens then it dims the hopes for all those who are trapped inside. Also, the firefighters may be at risk from the collapse.

Or fucking nets!! What is going on in england? Speed, velocity, high impact... the russian/american way.

Ps i understand that heat turbulences/wind can make it extremely dangerous, but it will be too hot for humans earlier than for the machine.

It appears the external cladding and the window frames were made of flammable materials. The photos and videos also seems to support this theory.

30 seconds building in china flash fire. Curious to know the follow of the chinese one...

It doesn't surprise me because in China everything is done fast and cheap, but a fire in London is amazing. I've seen a lot of fires in high-rise buildings, but I never saw that burned more than one apartment. Can light up the balcony at the top and all. In my country do not make the houses because they are stone.

:) ahhh old western propaganda written and transmitted mostly by components made in... dream.

You have an idea of the actual number of buildings in china now? There is everything between the worst and the best...

There were a total of 130 apartments in that building. Even if we count a conservative estimate of 3 people per apartment, then the number of residents comes to around 400. Right now the authorities are claiming that 6 bodies have been found. I would expect around 10% of the residents to perish in this catastrophe, which comes to around 40 individuals.

What's the logic to stay in an apartement while there is a fire? Isn't the best statistical outcome to always run for the exit asap?

Edit: what about the sprinklers? (Wtc7 too)
