Grenfall Tower Fire

[Anubis]

Looks like they put it out without any deaths but they did have to rescue one resident who was trapped. Residents saying they had to knock on doors and use WhatsApp groups to evacuate.

Swanky office block so no cladding.

.Around 12 firefighters who battled the inferno have reportedly been diagnosed with rare cancers after experiencing high levels of exposure to contaminants during the rescue effort.

Experts are said to fear there could end up being more than 20 cases linked the west London blaze in June 2017, which killed 72 residents.

Yet you had twats like Rees Mogg accusing them of failing the Grenfell residents, and you always get the bellends who say "they sit round drinking tea and playing pool all day"!

 

Poor bastards, horrific.

Starting salary of £22k when training? Fuck that!

Decent article about how the Tory mania for deregulation killed dozens of people at Grenfell - and will kill countless more, if Rees-Mogg gets his way.

Nobody should ever forget or forgive the comments that hateful piece of shit made about the victims.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Can the mods correct the spelling in the thread title, please.  (It's understandable when the thread was started while the awful news was breaking; it seems disrespectful now.)

Six and a half years later, loads of unsafe tower blocks in London still need overnight fire patrols.

Still no prosecutions either. They really did manage to find a big enough carpet to sweep all those deaths under.

Took until May of this year just to get a compensation settlement for the victims.

Meanwhile it took the tories a matter of months to have billions lined up heading to their mates pockets when covid kicked off.

Valencia at the moment.

Seems the cladding there is trapping the air leading to the spread of the fire like with Grenfell.

[Anubis]

That’s terrible. Hopefully they got most people out.

Spanish authorities saying 4 dead and 12-15 still unaccounted for.
