Watch live: A huge fire has engulfed a 24-story apartment block in West London.
“From as far back as the 1920s there were refrigerators that used natural gas.”
—
We had one from 1960-1975——kept it in the basement-—it was known as the beer refrigerator. We only got rid of it when we moved.

Tchad wondered if the sprinkler systems feed was sabotaged maybe gas switched with the water/fire suppressant was spreading gas?
Did a jet filled with fuel blow up inside the building like a small atomic bomb? then maybe not. It’ll probably have some parts fall or collapse.
They must be in a low state of morale tonight what with the accumulation of the negative karma befalling them this past month or so.
This includes now being governed by the creepy Muslim mayor of London, the "up" of Brexit and now perhaps the future "down" of Brexit, the devastating Manchester ISIS massacre, the unfortunate set-back of Tory Prime Minister Theresa May the other day, coupled with the scary rise of her Labour opponent, Jeremy Corbyn, the consumate marxist....and now, this horrible and tragic fire in the capital city.
My heart goes out to the people of the UK and my sympathy to the family of the fire's victims.
These past couple have been such a string of gloomy events for Londoners.......but I know they will overcome as they have in bad times before.

>death toll could be near 1000.
Easily. If they are typical islams, 2x that. But fear not, allah and his sidekick mohamhead has a bunch of virgins set aside for them there ramadamadingdongs just doing their islam thing.
120 ‘homes’ in the building, per reporter on SkyNet.
I don’t understand how this could happen. Doesn’t make sense.
I was close by that area a month ago today. Took a picture of a shop with the name I Love Hijabs. That told me all I needed to know.
Ammonia is the coolant though. We have one at our cabin in VA. A pilot light sized flame from propane powers the cooling loop.
Do you see 200 fire brigade units worth of emergency lights in the pic?
There is always the Bronto Skylift:

Can reach 112 meters (367ft)
>>How is it 415 a.m. in London but the Sun is up?
Look up England on a map. See how far north it is? Dim sunlight remains visible all night on the horizon too from that latitude.
Here's the only photo with a fire hose I've found ... so far:
>I dont understand how this could happen. Doesnt make sense.
islam makes no sense but it will kill as many as possible when it can.
This campfire is owned by islam alone. Best quit following idiocy such as islam.
I saw video of it. It appeared to start as a small exterior fire and very quickly spread up in side than blew out windows and started the inside on fire. Very quickly the entire 27 floors were fully involved.
I suspect there will be fatalities, and there are reports of people still trapped in portions of the building.
It's 40 fire engines and 200 firefighters.
Oh, man, is that horrific.... always was afraid of buildings like that. Not enough money in the world to get me to live in a city in one of those things.
Looks like a paper wasp nest being gasolined, and burning up just as fast.
