Re: London's Burning.
The bit that really hit me was the people throwing the baby out a window, I cant imagine what Id do if it was me in that situation with my little dude, that is properly heart breaking. I really do feel for them
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: London's Burning.
The worst part is they make money by overcharging the likes of you and me somewhere down the investment line.Monty wrote:I went out for dinner a few years ago with a senior director of one of the big 4 main contractors. After a few drinks he admitted he made more money investing other people's money than he did building buildings. It's fecking broken!

Re: London's Burning.
Did anyone see the Panorama programme last night about the fire?
Shocking stuff.
The fire brigade had dealt with the initial fire and were leaving.
Those cladding panels can't have taken much to get going.

Re: London's Burning.
From the reports it appears that several people got trapped together as they tried to escape the blaze. As a result they won't be able to give a final death toll for several months.
It all sounds pretty horrific.

Re: London's Burning.
I expect the final figure to be a couple of hundred , I heard it said that nobody above the 14th floor got out , I don't know if this is true , if it is thats 10 floors with 6 flats per floor , 40 2 bedroom flats and 20 single bedroom , thats a lot of people .
