Genuinely one of the most terrifying things I've seen, I can't imagine the scale of the destruction

Lots of reports there're still people trapped near the top but could just be conjecture...

It looks like it's going to collapse. Terrifying.

This blog was posted in November last year signalling the risks of fire hazard the block posed:

I hope the media finds this site and KCTMO get ****ed and the people responsible for the negligence are punished to the fullest extent of the law, this could be an absolute catastrophe.

Someone was Periscoping from a far distance and you could clearly hear people shouting for help, horrendous

Is the whole thing from bottom to top ablaze ? Is there any info as to where and how the fire started ? I really hope that everyone's allright but i'd be shocked if there aren't fatalities here. So worrying. |

Just (accidentally) saw a Twitter video clip where you could hear kids shouting for help... well that's me not sleeping for a while.

This is so awful, it feels like a movie. Imagine being at the top.
I really hope everybody gets out safe, miraculous as it seems. |

It's allight from the 2nd to the 27th(top) floor apparently.
Just watching this live on a BBC Breaking news report. They're saying that the tower block has terrible access and there's a woman saying that the whole time she's been watching up 'til around an hour ago she could hear children and adults screaming for help. Dreadful. Last edited by JTM45; 14-06-2017 at 03:23 AM. |

Oh God no .
It's baffling how a fire like that can start at the base and spread right the way up without people at the top noticing? |

There's been reports that some fire alarms weren't working, whats worse the Grenfell blog mentions there was only one exit from the building during the renovations.

If you switch BBC on there's a live view of the building and the fire looks to be dying down but it seems that it's burned itself out if anything.
It still says onscreen that there's reports of people being trapped inside the block. Reports that people were phoning relatives from inside saying they didn't think they were going to make it out. Also reports that a lot of the exits were blocked by intense fires. There's many blocks that look identical to this in and around the Cardiff area (near me). |

With the smoke clearing further down, you can see clearly the extent of the damage.

"I only saw 7 people in the foyer that got out in the first forty minutes" says one eyewitness on BBC News... some of the other details are terrifying.
