Imagine living in a Tower Block of a similar age now?

Poor folk

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...

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

You were there and did your bit you should be really proud of yourself, I really hope your community can recover and all those now homeless are adequately housed in the area ASAP and a full investigation is carried out too.

Good on you Leon, shouldn't have to to witness these sort of these in a situation that was so easily avoidable, the anger is understandable taking everything into account and if what has been said is true then their is blood on the hands of certain people and need to be held accountable for it.

Their was some guy called Piers before speaking about it saying he knew the guy who wrote the blog that was posted raising concerns about safety issues and said the community was pretty tight nit because they have had to come together to discuss the issues about the flats before this even happened,

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its still on bloody fire!

[smudgie]

Good to see you are ok BL, the way the community has pulled together is heartwarming, fantastic of you to help and do everything you could.
I can understand the anger setting in, people have seen and heard things that will stay with them the rest of their lives.

[Braden]

This is just unbelievable and horrifying. RIP to those poor souls who have lost their lives.

BrotherLeon, you're a saint.

That would be a great idea, although no doubt you would get some arse complaining he had lost his 2 quid
