The preserved 19th-century ship the Cutty Sark is on fire, London Fire Brigade has confirmed. It is said to be 100% alight and eight fire engines are at the scene in Greenwich, south-east London Well ... if it's on fire .. then there is a pretty good chance that it's not 100% alright

Not “100% alright,” but rather “100% alight” which I believe is the British way of saying “fully engulfed in flames.”

The article didn't say alright. It said alight.

100% alight, not all right.
