An apartment building with no sprinkler system? In London, incredible.
its an old building but when they renovated it they should have added more protections like sprinklers and alarms
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 the renovation is what caused the disaster actually
Just watched a interview from a fire fighter when he asked a little five year old boy , if there was anybody else in his flat and the little boy relied " JUST MY BROTHER BUT HES DEAD!" Broke my heart x
things really aren't going well for England :(
Daniel Hill I know
I live in England.
@@justthedave1072 me to
Recently renovated, why not have anti-fire system. This should be the priority.
Canal do DIDI this was no accident..
A first world country with many buildings with this cladding and no work to get them removed.
"Recently renovated" did kill all those people. They slapped on the cheap styrofoam insulation on the outside in the name of energy efficiency. Many buildings have been or will be converted in these fire traps each day. Signed, an architect.
What a terrible,terrible tragedy.Poor souls.I hope they all got to their own paradise ,Muslim,Christian,Buddah or any other.We all have same blood and tears(((
Christians in London? Havent been for 500 years.
Truth Teller Christains or Muslims or Buddist.. all of us are human beings and all of us are horrified.
Inquisition?Crusade?
No shut up
A once big empire cant even put sprinklers, more exits and even alarms in a renovated building smh
Smoke alarms are very inexpensive....every building...every room should have one.
just renovated with no sprinklers
In the 70s, I worked in public safety in the LA area and have responded in our ambulances to house and apartment house fires where there had been a few fatal casualties. I have never responded to anything like this and the tallest apartment house fire I responded to was six stories. 6 people tried to jumped to safety but out of these 6, 3 died of their injuries and some died of smoke inhalation and 3rd degree burns. This had to be Hell on Earth for the people trapped inside before being rescued or dying from smoke or burns. I am not a trained fireman and my assignment was on the ambulance. I have never seen a building fire spread so quickly as this one did. It seemed like an acceleration or propellant caused the fire to leap out of control. The refurbishing material should have been made of fire resistant components, if that is what it was. I hope it was not a case of arson because so many people have been displaced, injured or killed. Very sad indeed and a horrific tragedy to say the least. The UK has had more than its share here lately.
Just like with the Twin Towers, staying "in place" meant almost assuredly being burnt alive.
I'm shocked that there aren't fire alarms and fire safety regulations in housing blocks.
Oh my gosh! Poor people!
better get the tories in to take money away from them #forthefewnotthemany
CYMetro1985 who is them??
regardless of colour and religion this was a tragedy which could have been less harrowing had sprinklers been installed.
I live in an appartment block where every appartment has its own alarm. But, I live in Holland...
Last time I saw a fire like this it was in India, the buildings fire escapes were full of junk and old furniture. The fact that the fire had so much fuel that it took off like a flare makes me wonder.
As a firefighter, man u dont want to see that when driving there.
The amount of sick comments and racism is disgusting and not helpful to anyone, it made me feel sick watching people jumping and others trapped inside.
Dr Gunsmith *And I'm tired of people screaming RACIST when it's about a religion. Stupid muppets. Am i racist if I don't like Hinduism?*
@@NickanM well said
Those poor souls. I'd say I hope they didn't suffer, but it's unlikely.
I get everything that the ppl said and all the screaming,my building set on fire about 10 years ago,it was the most terrifying thing i ever experienced,bless all the ppl who had to experience sucha nightmare
Pray For This Whole World✌
Any attempts to politicise this disaster are beyond unacceptable until all the facts are in hand.
No one is trying to politicize it.
Some Labour MPs including Corbyn are certainly trying to politicise the tragedy. Disgusting.
With such a tragedy so few tears shed by those who witnessed burning flesh in a raging inferno and the missing of their relatives. Most would be weeping and traumatised by what they saw.
That's what I thought but yea,those people where murdered.its a set up.
We now know years after it was the cladding and the firemen did try and get people out in the building. It' was a very sad time. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
horrendous. .....
Omg.. soul on fire leaving the building.. 2:24
Omg yes that’s true I saw it
yeah, thats smoke that was burning there. it's an odd phenomenon, but nothing paranormal
'Being trapped in a burning building is people's idea of a nightmare' A bloody nightmare?? Think nightmare is a tiny bit of an understatement. Smh.
If there are fire code violations on buildings of the same design, they can shut them down if they choose.
in my opinion the UK's fire regulations have been a joke for a long time
That fire escape was terrible. Why would they open like that? The ones I have seen are always completely concrete.
all beacuse they couldnt be bothered to spend money on saftey this is west end aswell which is even more disgusting
Well they should never have been ordered to stay in their flats and await rescue once the fire was clearly out of control.
What happened to the man still in the building firemen still putting the fire out 😯😯
There was only ONE stair case in that building???
it wasnt the design of the building that was at fault it was the renovation that ruined the design, but there should have been a second stair case
OMG my heart
If them firefighters don't have enough extension on there trucks to reach a top of a building then they shouldn't build the buildings that tall
this is so sad
A fridge exploded???? That's a first, must have been a smart one.
Barb MacMaster Fridges can explode, not to long ago a whole batch had to be recalled due to a few exploding
Couldn't find that info, found a lot that were filled with tannerite though.
Those were RV fridges (propane). xx
Ah okay
Damiem Wathen What makes me a ho? I relayed the information I had been told when I asked about fridges exploding
if this wasnt in a first world country it would never get the media attention it has already gotten
a human is a human
Wolf Lupus a banana is a banana
Agree
Another problem with flammable materials, like the 5-7, the Station...
I’m still waiting for justice
Where are all the bodies? Of they survived, where are they?
When will the British learn to build things with Human safety in mind rather than saving money. Start with the Titanic and work your way to this tower. No fire test on the cladding.one fire exit, total blatant of do not give a damn attitude. Cosmetic repairs
hang the Council and the contractor.
*THE OLD ECONOMY THAT IS EXPENSIVE. REAL ESTATE GREED IS ALWAYS BEHIND THESE CATASTROPHES.*
considerable amount of building fires in America are relegated to the back pages because fire sprinklers work at putting out fires in its early stages the key is properly installed and maintained fire protection system
THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHOUD BE IMPRISONED FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS IF NOT THE REST OF THEIR MISERABLE LIVES! THEY SHOULD ALSO BE HELD FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TO EVERYONE WHO SUFFERED! DO NOT LET THE GOVT. OR THE BUILDING MANAGEMENT GET AWAY WITH THIS! GOD BLESS!
that's crazy
God bless those poor people, I have been praying every night for their soul's since the incident, may they suffer no more.
How is even allowed 1staircasr a building that big?
K-West home of Ziggy Stardust, cheer up!, greetings from Mexico.
wow that person still alive in that flat hope they got out ok
THERE WAS BBC SKY NEWS HELICOPTER WHEN THE FIRE WAS RAGING.. THE RESIDENTS THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE SAVED AS THEY SAW THE HELICOPTER.
WHY WOULD U GIVE FALSE HOPE TO THE HUMANS IN THE TOWER. THE HELICOPTER AND THE STAFF COULD OF DONE SOMETHING TO GET THEM OUT.
why can 'not save them.....why ?!!!!!
oh no pray now
Still standing after the fire? The laws of physics definitely work different in New York than in London...
Shouldn't that Building be on the ground , We will never forget !
WTF
Telling people to stay put was wrong
So exploding fridge, the real cause was a gas pipe explosion in the basement, but no one bothered to look for the device attached the the gas pipe, the truth may never come out.
Sources please
this rs to sad we need to pray. for all. shalon. adonai.
Well, this happens because of someone want to do something good for the cheap, is it his fault? Do the owners wanted to be as cheap as they can afford? Do the contractures inform the owners this thing are cheap and very good to save a lot of money from buying gas, but not bullet moves? Does the government choose those cheap conversions to save spending money on foreign gas, because the lesser people use gas the less the government has to spend in buying it and it's part of saving, nothing wrong with it, But to do it they should make sure it's had safe for everyone, sure people are prepared to lose money, and sure they don't like it, is it party first? to use it in a way that can destroy lives that's a criminal act.
Everything burns.
Why do racist people and discriminating people still exist
★_Vizualize_★ *Stupid muppet. It's about a RELIGION. Am i racist if I don't like Hinduism?*
Servine [Silent Engine] If racism isn't just about race why is it called racism?
I believe he's trying to say that it has the fundamental notion of racism. But more specifically it's discrimination. Bottom line is that it's wrong.
Who said anything about religion? most people there are immigrants. Hence the term racism is used because of racist comments from UA-camrs.
No the comments are racist. Ignorant people smh
Special report
6 mins on the scene
and within 10 mins could be at the source of fire...
residents themselves must have been battling fire too.
so this suggest more than one area was alight....
Maxim Mee as the fire took hold of the outside cladding the flames managed to wrap itself all the way around the building
yes
that apparently is the case here.
so fire alarms and sprinklers would be some help, but very limited....
did a fringe blow up
Yeah a faulty fridge is what caused it
CRIMINAL?
2.25
What is that on the screen in the middle slightly to the right ? Looks like a ghost floating through the fire
Don't give fire a chance
7.00 what a freak she's smiling
omg, there's a person waving from 2:10
Did anyone else see the "FIRE DEMON"????
At 2.23 watch the humanoid figure made of fire walk from left to right along the building on the outside. WTF????
Justine Forlong that was just a reflection lens flare from the camera
Justine Forlong looks more like a soul leaving

leapsplashafrog two different types of buildings and wtc was fueled by jet fuel from the planes big difference between fuel and Plastic cladding burning
terrible omg cant believe it
sad thing is the goverment are only know going into similar tower blocks and putting in the alarms and doing the checks they should of originaly done but hey tories keep up the housing cuts im rich so i can afford better =/
😱😭😭😭
something not right here
omg we have had a massive fire teararist ataces and what next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please add may visit today
wait built in 1970s? why is it doing it now?? ik that it was a fridge but how long was it there.
Prob another 9/11
Did Grenfell have Israeli security like the World Trade Centers?
un inferno dantesco
Yellow & black = German flag colors.
re protest there are a lot of people on the bandwagon that should not be there
helicopters with water buckets would of helped too..I think they do it for bush fires..
smoke was too thick and fireman inside would have been injured
Jefner Sar the speed of the helicopter blades would of moved the smoke and the fire fighters would of been of the building. That's from a different point of view
It's too expensive to have a helicopters dropping water on fires. They only use these type of helicopters if the fire has spread in a massive area, like a forest. If they started dropping water from the helicopter, the water would most likely injure people as water falling from a height is like concrete. As this is in a residential area, that would also damage other buildings.
Please do some research instead if assuming such things... worldwide they had nozzles that disperse water at a safe rate without any possibility of causing injuries to anyone below.
Or they could have simply used a helicopter to help people, like have them get to the roof if they can't get down, and have them picked up from the roof.
I want to see what's the dead bodies
So rude
the question is why they telling people to stay in the building while the fire spreading
Any footage of people jumping?
a lot of fill in the blanks questions are going to be asked
AND ALL BECAUSE THE BUILDERS CHOSE CHEAP CLADDING. 🙄 ❤ RIP TO ALL THE POOR VICTIMS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIFYINGLY TRAUMATIZING FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED 😢 🙏 💔 😞 WHO WPULD TELL SOMEONE TO STAY IN A BURNING BUILDINGS BEGGARS BELIEF.😢😮😮❤
Crying
damn even the fire caused by your bombing in our countries is put out by people with buckets. I'm amazed how they didn't bring in aircraft to put out the fire.
Suresh
