I cannot imagine how this could have spread so fast without “help.”

I highly doubt that a similar building in the US could have burned like that due to building codes.

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

The fire spread fast, but if arson/terrorism, how would one spread an accelerant through such a large building?

Unless there were a lot of plastics and if that is the case, there are going to be a lot of people dead.

yes, accelerant of some kind is probable

I’ve been involved in a few high rise building projects in NYC & LA. Our fire safety standards are extremely bullet proof. Its a old saw in the industry that most people first hear about a fire in their building watching the nightly news.

This type of fire would be nearly impossible in a US high rise.

Building codes? Easily ignored/violated. Words on paper...35 dead in that Oakland hippie commune fire...
