On June 14, 2017, a 24 storey residential apartment building Grenfell Tower, located in Latimer Road, West London, caught on fire which engulfed the entire high-rise. As of this post, 12 fatalities have been confirmed, with 79 taken to hospital, of whom 18 are in critical care.
In 2016, a blog post by the Grenfell Action Group expressed concerns with building’s conditions and safety and called such an event.
The real take away from the 2017 London Fire is that despite the entire building being completely engulfed for hours, it didn’t collapse into its own footprint at free fall speed due to “office fires“.
But then again, never before, nor since 9/11 has a high rise skyscraper collapsed due to office fires.

R.I.P Grenfell Tower victims
79 confirmed dead…..Typical council cutting corners to save a buck. Shame on you London Borough Council ;C
I arrived in London just right time and this burning building was the first thing I noticed from plane when approaching the airport. In my sick mind I just thought “That is a welcome torch for me”… just kidding. Feel really bad for those people. I really do.
Ffs who else wants to see the dead bodies? Sick of seeing the tower lol
This is an extremely positive thing considering the building was filled with foreigners… It helps to purify London. Just imagine how many (foreign) people will not be born due to this… WOW These people should have stayed in their home countries
It’s ok everyone no one really got hurt,well, no English people anyhow, they were all lazy foreigners and most of them weren’t supposed to be here anyway, good fucking riddance!
