Massive Residential Fire in London – 24 Floor Apartment Building, 120 Units Ablaze
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | June 13, 2017 | sundance

Posted on 06/14/2017 12:31:24 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

A massive residential fire in Ladbroke Grove suburb of London England has many people worried about trapped residents.   According to most media reports the 24 floor building, Greenfell Tower, houses 120 units and is almost completely engulfed.

The fire began in the middle of the night.  There are over 40 fire squads and 200 firefighters attempting to control the blaze.

(The Sun) […]  FIREFIGHTERS are battling an inferno which has engulfed a block of flats in Ladbroke Grove, West London.

Some residents are trapped inside the 24-storey tower, with children among residents desperately shouting for help from windows on upper floors with neighbouring flats ablaze.

One witness told BBC radio that there were likely to be “tens if not hundreds” of casualties, with some jumping from windows for safety in scenes “reminiscent of 9/11”.

Yep. some people just can’t let the tin-foil hat thing go. Totally different structures with totally different structural loads. More people should be required to take physics and logic in high school, the way it used to be.

Multiple people with multiple cans around the building.

That don’t seem like no electrical fire to me. Maybe another Islamio-Nazi attack but I guess we’ll never know as it is England’s policy to protect Islamo-Nazism over the lives of its own citizens.

Early pictures of the fire show an awful lot of lights on in units around the corner from the main fire. Huge death toll coming...

Once you make a bunch of incendiary bombs, keeping them stable is hard. Obviously they thought storing them in the refrigerator would help. Guess not.

I’m not going to say this was set by Muslims but I’m thinking it.

It's everyone's first thought.

When are the blokes going stop drinking the PC koolaid and to put a stop to this atrocity?

Cause you know what? Honestly, no matter what official word is on the cause of the fire, I am not going to believe it.

Unless it's muslims.

It also did not have 15-20,000 gallons of jet fuel dispersed into a gaping hole in its side where the 767 plowed into it either. Weird.

Exactly right. I can't understand why people deny what happened on Sept. 11, 2001. It takes only a small amount of common sense and reasoning ability, plus trusting what their own eyes saw (or see in videos) to understand that the Twin Towers were essentially decapitated.

Build a tower out of blocks, then remove enough of the lower blocks and see what happens. Identical to what happened at the Twin Towers.

Could be. They all fire up their cooking stuff at night during ramadan to eat.

FWIW, my bet is on shoddy construction, bribery and/or incompetence.

Can’t believe no one has raised this angle. I suspect it’s because you’ve not fully realized the times we live in. If this is a Somali building, there is only one certainty and one likelihood. First, it is certain this will be used to paint normal English as racist and to empower Muslims even more -i.e. the racist English put these poor people into this unsafe building because they hate Muslims. Second won’t be surprised the media says it is arson committed by a native even though all the evidence will point to a Somali who started it.

BTW, I agree. If the casualties are predominantly mooselimbs, then YT will be blamed.
