I'm here in 🇪🇸 Spain. It is sad 😢. I barely made it out. 🙏🏼 Condolences. 14 confirmed...
How terrifying! Im glad you survived. So sorry for all the loss of life.
😢
14 confirmed what? deaths?
No son 9 y un desaparecido
@@RockinfunXD no, newborns.
Prayers from America.
God Bless those who perished and survived.
God certainly did not bless them…….
@@InsiderBoy Lol, the religitards will be coming for you😂
They need money and support not "prayers" to some imaginary sky daddy
@@InsiderBoyWell, i see I'm not the only one who makes stupid comments. But that was just really stupid kid
@@GeneralKenobi69420 Kid...ahh never mind. You'll never understand
The reason this fire occurred was the same reason London's 2017 Grenfell Tower Fire happened, killing 73 people and changing the legislation about the use of polyurethane as an insulating material in buildings. This fire has already killed 4 and 20 are missing (most likely dead, under the remains of the buildings). I hope there are as less fatalities as possible, thanks to all of those sending prayers from all around the world 🙏🏽
Praying for all from Minnesota.
Are we looking at a high-rise apartment building which was NOT equipped with working fire sprinklers? In hindsight, do the builders/owners now FINALLY understand the consequences of their bad decisions?
The NFPA in the USA is not the code for the world.
@bbranett2188 I do not expect the world to conform to NFPA guidelines. (We can't even expect that in the U.S.) However, as a Fire Department Officer of over three decades of experience, I am DEEPLY saddened and frustrated to see injuries and deaths which could easily have been prevented. Caused by greed. Often blamed on a fire department.
@@bbranett2188Damn, Spain still living in the 19th century 💀
@@edwing72stupid comment
just some shades of Grenfell seeping through the cracks...
I pray for all those involved! I am so sorry!
These are just three buildings, what about a whole city engulfed, of Israel bombs, what you see it's 1% simple what happened to the city of Gazza
It reminds me of that horrible apartment building fire in London several years ago. Did this building have flammable cladding like the Grenfell Tower in London?
yes, you can check the other comment I wrote here, apparently it was also caused by polyurethane. Back then in 2017 it made change the UK legislation about insulating materials. Seems humans never learn…
London's most horrific fire to date.
Yes.

@@LittleLord82 True, and while I hate the way Israel has responded to the terrorist attacts in October, this devestating and fatal apartment building fire is completely unrelated and considering the outcome and the tragedies in both places, it may be inappropriate to compare them.
God bless the familys in Spain there loved ones ✝️🕊️😇
Did this building have the same siding as Grenfell?
Good question. I was working in london at the time of the grenfell fire. That tower went up very fast. Due to cladding I think was the investigative conclusion. This fire spread so fast it does remind me of grenfell.
Looks like it
I immediately thought of Grenfell too.
I saw one story that said the fire spread quickly because of cladding, but that might’ve been speculation.
It looks like there were two buildings that caught fire.
Everyone keeps bring up Grenfell and its cladding. There were several cladding fires before the infamous Grenfell fire.
Praying for everyone involved from Indiana, USA. Horrible to think of the lives lost and so many homeless without any possessions.😓

@@Benito-lr8mz I think what you're saying is that the people will be taken care of. And I hope so. However, people died. And even for those living, they may have lost pets, precious family photos, and other things that cannot be easily replaced. Not everything is solved by money.
Heartbreaking😢😢
Amazing how long the building was on fire for and yet it's still standing with far less structural integrity and steel beams than the 2 towers.
It IS amazing. It's 'as if' steel frame towers don't actually suffer meaningful structural damage from even extended fires... that's probably why demolition of such buildings requires the careful placement of sequentially detonated charges...
@@yishnir I want to know if it was Cheney or Bush who pushed the buttons.

@@LittleLord82 that’s different because it’s war and that’s what happens when you attack a more powerful opponent. Hamas is willing to sacrifice their own people for victory and that’s there choice. Peace would be better for the Palestinians people but that’s not what they have in mind. Sad about the situation but nothing we can do
Oh God bless all of those families! Heart wrenching to witness!😔

I’ve watched buildings be built near where I live ( Midwest USA) and I would not ever choose to live in them, made of all wood framing, flimsy looking, I would rather choose an old brick and mortar building vs new. No idea what this building was but obvious was flammable materials.

Did it collapse in its own footprint within 8 seconds
Nope
How does an entire building become completely engulfed and destroyed by fire like that? Appears response was slow. Praying the missing are found safe.
Prayers
This makes me so sad for innocent animals who didn't get out. Worried and sad for the people affected of course, but animals are always the first to perish in situations like this. So so scary and sad. Poor babies...
Thank you for your mention of the innocent animals😢😢
Valencia is a wonderful city. Prayers.
I couldn't help but notice they're tower doesn't fall down. God bless and prayers to all those involved.
Do European fire trucks not being as large as American ones create issues in terms of not having enough ladder extension height to reach people?
Wow! Look at that, a raging fire throughout the entire high-rise building and it didn't collapse at free fall speed into it's own footprint. One should wonder how 3 buildings with much less raging fires all collapsed into their own footprint at free fall speed in one single day. Hmmm..curious

Oh my 😦
And i bet the building still didnt collapse
Yes, it didnt
My biggest fear when I used to live in buildings like that.
🙏...all the residents got out.
Did you not watch the video?
Building codes matter
2008 Spanish building codes thought this material was fine, so the building passed inspection, however todays building codes dont allow it anymore
Too many flammable junk pile up!
And then the building free fell into molten metal right? It has to have fallen.
Its still standing

Hard to believe!!!
this is one for the examiners reconstructing models to show how this happened and what made this fire accelerate and take a whole building...something deadly human is in this....
These are just three buildings, what about a whole city engulfed, of Israel bombs, what you see it's 1% simple what happened to the city of Gazza
cause = e-scooter or mobile phone ....building was still covered in illegal cladding.....
They should inspecting every building that has that same cladding junk , and replace it. The company who made this junk should be accountable for all the disasters that happened ( and probably more to come (i hope not)
Fire Suppression systems save lives and property
Poor souls. Prayers. Looks like the new condo/apartments in J'ville that went up in flames one week before the opening. Fishy.
A buildig should not burn like that. Somebody didn't do their job.
Aluminum cladding to blame apparently and whoever approved it as it was flammable
Did it collapse into a pile of dust?
I pray for all the innocent pets and loss of human life and family heirlooms, photographs and possessions.
You pray for family heirlooms,photographs and possessions?
Scray stuff. Always prepare for the worst. Have a plan in place and please please please, do not open up a window until you have a legitimate plan. Once you open that window, smoke will flood directly to you. Fire wants to escape, so don't send it to your location.
God please keep all civilians safe, and particlar help and safety for all fire fighters and first responders to this horiffic fire. 💚🙏🏻🌎☮️☘️
How many of this kind of tragedy could be prevented if landlords were actually forced to maintain their properties?

Omg. What was it made of? Kindling? Tell me that people arent in there. Its dark. I hope its not the middle of the night and people were able to get out in time. I know that's probably not the case with a fire of that size. 😞
The fire started at 5pm, so most people were awake and could escape thankfully
@@user-lt4yd8kh7w oh thank the good lord above. How many families were displaced omg. There must be hundreds in that building. Wow.

i thought fire makes buildings pancake down perfectly in their footprint?
Depends on how hot it burns and what the structure points are made of. In this case the building is built using steel reinforced concrete as it's structural pillars so it can withstand a burning without collapsing for quite a while. A Building say like the Twin towers which were built with solid steel framing and were being roasted by fire produced from jet fuel made the steel framing just malleable enough that the buildings simply gave out under their own weight.
Yeah weird hmm
@@KingArthur13thWhat is terrorist passport paper made out of? 9/11 had molten steel for days, but the passports survived.
@@KingArthur13thdon't waste your time explaining. They are simple.

Exactly!
You are correct. 100%
There's a video by a blacksmith here on UA-cam demonstrating the steel vulnerability during such heat stress factors regarding the Twin Towers collapse.

Did the buildings collapse in their footprint?
Seems that ONLY happened ONCE in my lifetime.
Wow. It's a wonder it didn't collapse like the WTC buildings, you remember, the "pancake" theory?
Most likely, the fire was caused by an ocupado, aka squatter in this place. Squatters reign in Spain and could care less if the building burns.
This was caused by an electric scooter
So much for modern first world building codes.
They changed to not allow this material around 2015

No fue culpa de los bomberos, caían trozos ardiendo de la fachada porque eran placas de aluminio con algún aislante que fue lo que provocó que se expandiera tan rápido...
