Very true. I've been reading a book on the Fire of London (1666). Back then the people were blaming the Dutch, the French, and the Catholics (Papists) for starting the fire. They even hung a man, Robert Hubert, a French Catholic for it, although his guilt has been discredited as the man was severely mentally and physically disabled. The fire actually started in Pudding Lane, in the bakery of Thomas Farriner. He was never charged or punished for it, but Farriner and his wife were signatories on the Court Bill brought against Hubert.

Not yet. They're still trying to put the fire out with hoses, which of course can only go up so high.

It also said the Tower was built in 1974 1974 was also the year the film "The Towering Inferno" was released.

Maybe it was set, knowing that it was full of Moslems? Re enge for Manchester and/or London Bridge?

One woman they just interviewed at one of the rescue centers, said her apartment was brand new. She’d only been in it for 6 months. The reporter said he’d heard there had been plastic sheeting on the outside, and asked her if she had seen it on fire. She said that it wasn’t on fire when she left the building to escape.

This was early on....even then it didn't take long to engulf the building......I suspect there will be a bad death toll .....doesn't sound good.

The fire has reportedly spread to five floors It looked to me like the fire had spread to ALL floors, not just five.
