Given recent events over there, could this possibly be another terror attack?

Let me guess. Angry descendants of the French still pissed over the French and Indian War?

Has anyone seen the Mayor of London? Wonder what he’s preparing to say? Will he somehow blame all this on Brexit?
or maybe on the Americans’ Trump in particular? It sure beats trying to push back on ISIS and being threatened online in Arabic.

Yes, prayers up.

More RamadaInn mayhem?

It looks like flames are bursting from all sides. Odd.

Oh my goodness, this is just absolutely horrible.
The fact people on the 22nd floor think tying bedsheets together is their best chance for survival, it indicates the desperation. :-(

Wonder if a tenant was experimenting with some type of explosive?

I think this building will be coming down at some point soon.

Isn’t it strange that anytime that someone goes in front of congress to discuss Russia, there is a terror attack. It seems to be a trend now.

Looks like the new arrivals are celebrating the results of the election.

It will be fun to see how they try to spin this.

Was the sprinkler system sabotaged?

The fire has reportedly spread to five floors

It looked to me like the fire had spread to ALL floors, not just five.

Surely like the large cities in the US that have high rise apartments those in London also have sprinkler systems.
I shudder to think of what the death toll in this fire will be.
If it’s arson, the Brits will cover it up.

Amazing pictures. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a large, reasonably modern building burn like that. Old two and three story apartment complexes sometimes go up like that, but a highrise? How does this happen with modern building codes — “modern” being since the 1930’s?
