[cc]

Awful - Does not look good for people high up in it, but there are no reports to date on people

Those death traps should have been demolished years ago.

No doubt



a lot of wood in them?



"The tower is at least 24 storeys high and contains 120 apartments."



I feel nauseous

[Angry White Male]

Here wood framed apartments are all of the low rise types.  My condo is a new build, and it is wood frame, but nonetheless only four storeys high, with sprinklers inside and out...  There are sprinklers everywhere.



Anything that I've seen around here over a few storeys are all concrete.

We are well reinforced concrete all the way



Apparently a feller fell asleep in one unit here a few years ago, burned his unit and himself completely  ... with virtually no effect on other units



Anyhow, Back to OP horror ...  I seem to survive my own tragedies reasonably well .... but damn,  I don't handle other's horror well

[Angry White Male]

I was about to purchase a concrete unit in Ocean Park for a hell of a deal, but the realtor steered me clear.  It was an older build that apparently needed MAJOR work...

[Bricktop]

The 1960's era tower block public housing programme was a social catastrophe.



Aside from the stress and pressure created by stacking hundreds of low-income families into a single building, creating a ghetto, the buildings were poorly designed, shabbily built, and widely regarded as death traps for the reason demonstrated in the OP.



Only a few of the hundreds built remain...and I predict that they too will be demolished after this incident.

Horrible, imagine being trapped on a high floor knowing that you have 2 choices, death by fire or from jumping.  



I also very much doubt it will be another muslim attack like some people are predicting because the area has a very high muslim percentage and many of the dead will most likely be muslims....

[Odinson]

Thats pretty bad..



I would probably go on the roof and call the airforce..



The fire-alarm should give these people plenty of time to evacuate.. The problem is that they dont take it seriously.. And now they die.

Damn it... A great loss.

You do know that Muslims kill muslims all the time, right?



Who do you think dies when a car bomb goes off in places like Bagdad or Cairo, or any other predominantly Muslim country or city?



People in the middle east live with that kind of shit as a constant. Believe it or not they are the ones doing the bulk of the dying.



BTW, that avie is kind of unflattering and I'm not talking about the implied ideological leanings. Thats just shock value troll bullshit....You have soft, somewhat female looking hands....the bad ink just calls attention to it.

Little smoke damage here and there.... I dont see why muslims cant go back living there.

In my province, Alberta, any apartment building more than four floors must be made of concrete. This is for fire protection reasons. I assume that building in London was made of concrete?

Yes but the countries you have described are muslim countries, whereas the UK is mostly white,so why on earth would they target an area occupied by their own when there are plenty of white infidels to target?  



As for my avvy, LOL...... you just can't resist having a pop can you? Ok I've got 'girly' hands according to you, excuse me while I cry myself to sleep.   :001_rolleyes:
