Interesting views on the LandLords and building safety from the tower residents group!

"In the last twenty years and despite the terrifying power surge incident in 2013 and recent fire at Adair Tower, the residents of Grenfell Tower have received no proper fire safety instructions from the KCTMO. Residents were informed by a temporary notice stuck in the lift and one announcement in a recent regeneration newsletter that they should remain in their flats in the event of fire. There are not and never have been any instructions posted in the Grenfell Tower noticeboard or on individual floor as to how residents should act in event of a fire"

Utterly indescribably awful.
Hoping against all logic that nobody died.
I doubt that'll be the case. BBC are reporting flashing lights, possibly torches, apparrently signalling from the upper floors earlier when it was dark, and other unconfirmed reports stating people ringing loved ones from inside saying they didn't think they'd get out. Hoping against all logic that nobody died.

Stuff of literal nightmares.

Hard to imagine how fire could spread to such an extent throughout the building like that but reports are it's because of the cladding to the outer building.

I note the BBC news report dropped in a ''unconfirmed report of someone hearing explosions''. Well if it's unconfirmed maybe you don't report it unless it is?
I think it's fair enough - I have heard similar on LBC today. To be expected - gas etc - I doubt people would jump to the conclusion that it is e.g. bombs?Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
