Good grief ! Only looked at this ,haven't seen the news yet. That's horrendous .
"Residents warned repeatedly of fire risk " What on earth is that supposed to mean ?
Going to news channel now. If there isn't any loss of life , it will be a miracle.

120 flats !
Have a look at this ....it explains my previous question.
In November 2016 a residents organisation, Grenfell Action Group, published an article on their website accusing the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea of ignoring health and safety legislation. They accused the council landlord of being an "evil, unprincipled, mini-mafia" and of misconduct regarding voting at annual general meetings. The Group also suggested "the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord". The group has frequently published articles criticising poor fire safety and maintenance at Grenfell Tower. They also revealed that residents had been urged by the landlord and council in newsletters and by notices to stay in their flats in the event of a fire.

We can probably see what is likely to happen....the blame game ! I have been out all day so just catching up.
The most important are the people at the moment, blame can come much later on, but what these people who have escaped and the eye witnesses have experienced, must be beyond understanding. I don't know how the interviewees have even been able to speak and give their testimonies. The newscasters seem to have been in their faces all day, from the number of interviews that have been done.
Another tragedy to give BBC a further week or more to dwell on.
I cannot imagine how it must have been to see people in windows particularly children, even a movie couldn't compare.
So very, very sad. It seems to take away the differences, as we all share the same blood groups.
