Very sad. I just saw a video on a Yahoo article about the fire. Some woman threw her baby from the 10th floor, I believe it was, and someone on the ground caught it. That was a miracle right there!

Quote:Some tenants had previously complained about the upkeep of the tower, specifically warning about the fire risk. In November, a residents' group, Grenfell Action Group, said that only a "catastrophic event" would expose the concerns it had about the building's landlord, according to a blog post from the group.
It was not clear exactly how many residents were in the building, but the tower, built in 1974, contained 120 apartments, according to its management company, Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation.
