It's probably the DM being sensationalist vampires to stir up panic and despair in the community so that they can report on said panic and despair. It's one of their oldest tricks.

Vile newspaper.

I do think a triple figure death toll is relatively likely, though...

Well if it's true that no one from a few floors up got out then I'd think it's likely

I understand you fully, but considering the people that were effected were screaming similar things on the road then it's very fair. The whole area is angry towards a large number of people. This was an avoidable tragedy.

Anyway, we housed a few people we met yesterday that had no where to go. Absolutely heartwrenching when they would sometimes just breakdown after realising just what is happening and how much has been lost.

Hopefully people will be given all the help they need.
Unfortunately no amount of money can take away the heartbreak and horror.

It's morbid I know, but people need to start preparing for the worst. Not trying to make any political point here, just a human one, and there were points in that TM interview where she was close to tears, I think that is an early indication of the scale of this tragedy.

A resident on the 4th floor
(which used to be the 2nd floor)
said the Fireman put the fridge out
inside the flat with the Fire.
But because the Fridge was near the Window
the other side had caught the
outside cladding alight fast.

Its natural for newspapers (and for them read the general public) want to find out how the fire started

That's LTs point people will have bought properties under the council right to buy scheme and let them out illegally as you are meant to live in the home yourself if you buy it off the council until you sell it on, there might be more people living in a flat than it is intended for and also if not on the electoral roll it would be hard to keep track

Ok, we would like to know how it started, but to not only name the man but put his photo all over the papers is not good.
Unless of course he wanted them to.
He is in no way to blame for the massive inferno, that was down to the outside structure being tarted up.
Under normal circumstances the fire would probably have been contained to his flat until the fire brigade arrived.

Apparently his fridge was by a window, and the flames caught the cladding in that way, zip wonder if its one of the numerous faulty fridge that are out there on recall
