Terrifying and so sad.
Apparently some people trying to leave the building were told to return to their flats. The pictures of the tower now show just how devastating the fire was. I hope no one lost their lives specifically because of this.
The residents' group had been pretty damning of the Tenants' Association and the local council, and had predicted something like this would happen, which also suggest it may have been avoidable. But that might have affected landlords' profits.
