This could be a new form of suicide bombing - A suicide bomber rents apartment, straps explosives on the fridge and boom! All are doomed. Since this Sadiq khan was made mayor of London, the British capital has been on turmoil.

Holy sheet! People throwing themselves out of windows and high-rise floors to survive. The human instinct to survive is a very strong one: jumping to an uncertain fate to escape a certain fate.


Respect to the crowd that caught the baby. That was touching.


And sorry to add this, but I call it as I see it. If this were to be Nigeria, in all likelihood those people would have perished beyond redemption.

The fire service responded within SIX minutes, but could not fully contain the conflagration. Our own go tell you say water no dey, or na after house don burn finish you go come dey hear wi-wo-wi-wo. Speaking from personal experience.


On a last note, for those that think that all is green on the other side (the Western Hemisphere), how can you explain away a 20+ storey building having no fire alarm or water sprinklers, or emergency fire exits for that matter?

It was reported that the house was built in 1974, that might explain why some of those safety measures are not in place. Regulations guiding building construction then were probably not as stringent as they are now.

my thoughts tho but don't wanna sound stupid. Fifteen minutes sounds lilke Small time for a fridge explosion to cause this kind of damage given that the building most have been built or renovated to the right international standard.

Bro, it is a given that a highrise built in '74 would have at least fire escapes.

It was also reported that 10m pounds was spent in refurbishing the building only recently. Couldn't that 'modest' sum cover for the installation of fire alarms and a sprinkler system too?

An in depth Into 112 Nigeria Emergency helpline will tell you more about how less equipped and negligent our security agencies are. From police, fire service, to the civil defense personnel.

911 or 999 is a total difference, two parallel lines embarassed

This is UK not Nigeria. The house ought to meet the right standard. Something is wrong somewhere.
