  • Surely that kind of number was expected, sadly? There were 120 flats in the building, the fire occurred at a time when most of them would have been asleep, the advice they'd been given was to stay in their flats in the case of fire, and by the time that advice was shown to be nonsensical, the fire had taken hold and people couldn't get out of the building.

    It's utterly horrifying.

  • I guess so but when you read '12 dead' as terrible as that still is you don't think it will be much higher, or else they would say 'x dead, x missing'... I can see how the under-reporting thing is applicable in this situation.

    How utterly utterly tragic.

  • I saw a comment, I think from the met, saying that they hope the fatalities from it don't run into three figures but they don't know yet.
