No thread on this? Horrendous footage. Just been watching BBC coverage. No numbers on fatalities, could easily be between 100-200 or god forbid even more.

Eye witness accounts:

Fire alarm failed
Bollards blocked fire crews from getting close.
Delay in tackling the fire from the outside, eye witness claimed took upto an hour, originally contained to two floors.
Spread rapidly due to outside cladding 'going up like a matchstick'
Block had a 'stay put' policy, believing fire crews would rescue them in event of a fire
Fridge exploding on the 4th floor speculated to be root cause.
Fire crews unable to evacuate beyond 12th floor.

Genuinely awful situation.
