Re: Huge fire at West London tower block
Terrible. Sadly it's inconceivable that many lives haven't been lost here in the most appalling manner. With the exterior of the building so extensively damaged I'd have thought the cladding applied to it might be a factor in that but we're obviously going to have to wait for the experts to confirm what caused the fire, why it spread so rapidly and why, according to witnesses, the block's fire alarms failed.
Let's hope this doesn't turn out to be as big a tragedy as it's starting to look. Thoughts and prayers for all those who've died, lost loved ones and been injured.
