Yep apparently one of the residents said his neighbour had told him his fridge had exploded and started the fire

That's the one Annie,he was shown on breakfast TV waiting,I am pleased he has been rescued,so sad for all those who perished though.

One bloke
got a wet towel over his face
and got to the stairs - full of smoke
a Fireman on the ground touched his leg
and he was saved,

From a Ch5HD news report

Saved

[The fire that swept through
a 27-storey west London tower
block in just 15 minutes
after a faulty fridge exploded
could be one
of the worst in British history
amid fears nobody on its top
three floors survived.]

The apartments themselves were crammed into a ruddy big tower block that went on fire?

I wonder how much subletting to illegals was going on? Trying to work out who was in there will be a nightmare

It's a genuine worry for those tasked with counting bodies and notifying families.

So many horrible interviews on the BBC just then with people with relatives still unaccounted for... but at the same time so many wonderful examples of the community coming together.

I thought that earlier - imagine living in the identical tower block a few hundred metres away, having actually watched the thing burn, then having to try to get to sleep feeling safe...

Illegals or not they're still people that had their lives put in danger.

That's btw if there was even any illegal immigrants living in any of the Flats.

Incredibly sad. I've spent the whole day from about 4am volunteering and making constant runs to Sainsbury's to bring stuff that may be needed with my Fiancé and her sister. Hearing the screams and children being thrown will stay with me forever though.

The spirit shown was real heartwarming though. The last hour or so has slightly changed and there seems more anger around and people taking it out on each other, but on the whole the heart shown has been amazing.

We personally know someone that lives there, but him and his girlfriend in a panic decided to ignore the advice to stay where they are and ran down when it started to look bad. So lucky.

I can't believe them they told them to stay in their flats. That's terrible advice
