Inferno destroys 24-storey residential tower in London

Surprised that no-one is talking about this. It's been all over the news all day in the UK.

Grenfell Tower: 12 dead in fire that destroyed 24-storey building

That's 12 confirmed dead so far. There are probably many more fatalities.

We could've done with someone like the Flash or Superman here.

Those poor people. Dying in a fire has got to be one of the worst ways to go.

The images from last night and the stories from today are some of the most horrific I've seen in years...

and then to see Corbyn give an interview where he effectively said 'If the Tories didn't make cuts, then this wouldn't have happened' not even 24 hours later... sickening political move by him.

Hopefully the smoke got them before the fire did. Fire is a death no one should have to experience.

Any word on the cause or is it still too early?

Some reports last night seem to include a guy saying his fridge (or Freezer) exploded and started the fire.... but I doubt we'll know officially for a while

Smoke inhalation would still be awful, even if its not as bad as being burned alive.
