What a lovely mother and son. The reporter interviewed them in a very humble and sympathetic manner... Nicely done. Our hearts go out to all the victims and their families.
Mr P Franklin John snow in a good man I met him in my home town walthamstow around 10 years ago.
Well it's serious he's not going to be having a laugh with him is he.
It's horrible for people to say that those who jumped committed suicide. None of those people wanted to die. Also many of the victims were religious so that claim would be especially difficult for them to deal with. It's the same as the jumpers on 9/11.
I'm so sorry to this family for their loss.
Nein Danke
I think there is an amazing courage in the people who decided to take their lives themselves. Of course they didn't want to die, but they mustered up all of their bravery and decided that they would die by their own terms.
MrFlibberGibbet FitzWidget exactly, if they knew they were going to die they should be able to choose which way they would rather go. It's very sad either way.
It's rubbish it's not suicide at all it's just a reaction to a situation you're in.
Some ppl even threw there babies out the windows
It is suicide though because they killed themselves, whether they wanted to or not has no part in it
Also my condolences to the victims of course
People who survived the tragedy are punished by the haunted memories every second. It is difficult, and the word does not even describe how painful it is for them.
good hopefully it will make them leave and go bk to where they came from the tramps
the whole thing is one big joke i didn't shed one tear they should have more respect for themselves and there families than to rock up in another country and ask for everything under the sun round them up send them HOME because the uk is not
So these immigrants, poor Brits and refugees deserved to be burnt alive because of the failure of the system? Because they are poor? Because they are displaced?
The native Brits great grand parents and grandparents were looters, scrounged the world and stole their wealth. Their offsprings are relishing the loots and creating wars and selling arms to keep their elite masters rich. Unfortunately the imbecile working class is delirious with a notion that the country was just fortunate, they are God's chosen ones! Bulldhits! They are stupid then and they are stupid now.
With the blessing of keyboards all GCSE failing idiots turned into haters. Educate yourself, learn about wthe worldand science you idiots!
It is inevitable that you will be old meaning you will join another vulnerable group who will need taxpayer funded geriatric care, nursing home, nurses all funded by the well to do young healthy ones. What if they say, you should die because you are a burden to them?
There are many reasons people emigrate, Brits emigrate to Spain, Germany for the better benefit system. Your grandparents if they are here in this country for six generations scrounged other countries and stole their wealth, that is one of. The reason they are poor. It is your country which corrupts others African, Asian, middle eastern countries to steal their wealth. Do you think, Britain is a divine nation who gives away donations to poor countries? Really? They give one pound and sucks out £100 for them. I am saying not from watching RUclips, but through my experience.
Karma is very unforgiving, tomorrow you may be on the receiving end and a world without empathy is the world owned by the Devil. Chose wisely. Every hateful word has an effect and creates a reality which often will come to haunt you.
S S especially the kids that survived, imagine they had close friends/neighbours and they all passed away. Those memories would scar them for life, so it would be tough when they’re older. It’s not fair they didn’t deserve any of it. The councils are so stupid!
Not suicide, people were escaping the fire and smoke. May our Heavenly Father comfort and help the victims of this terrible tragic fire and aftermath.
Our Heavenly who?
They called it suicide to keep from paying death benefits like life insurance which typically is written where no one gets anything if the person’s cause of death is suicide.
It can also be suicidal.
Just proves to me even more. If in a burning building. Grab some wet towels, as many as you can carry. Cover your nose and mouth and start down the stairs. No matter WHAT you're told to do on the phone from emergency rescue. If you die on the stairs atleast you made a try for it. Don't sit there and die because you thought someone was coming to save you. It's just crimminal to tell people in a building housing that many human beings that the fire brigade will save you when the whole building has gone up in 15 mins. and those that were told to wait. I am sorry for you. So sorry. I hope you all rest in peace. As for the asses that OK'd that cladding to be put on the building, the no fire alarms in any of the apartments, and no kind of sprinkler system, nor any kind of fire proof stair well. SHAME ON YOU. Weren't those things kind of more important then how the damn building looked to your eyes as you passed it every day to your cooshy job from your expensive house that would never have the encased in a material that would cost you your life in 10 mins?
Mel noneyas over 50 years, this advice has saved hundreds if not thousands of lives.
they dont even have ladders to reach past half that building. and rescueing people from a building via ladder is slow and dangerous! esp when flames are shooting out.
Mel noneyas it’s standard procedure for people to stay in their building during a fire not to restrict rescues efforts this was a seriously unusual fire that the London fire brigade weren’t used to
@@chrisschneider850 yes ladders can only reach to the eight floor,
@@aaronb4407 500 people are going to stay in their apartments waiting for the firefighters to save them? How many firefighters would they send in?
I'm so glad they survived. I'm angry that so many others did not. This should have never happened.
weehawk, to think these people made it to our country then died so tragically.
Rosco Pico but no-one deserves to die so tragically especially children I don't care where they came from they are innocent
Rosco Pico I think you will find that several children did actually die, along with their families, I guess some who didn't speak any English would not know what to do in this terrible situation. I know there must have been many illegals as well, so I guess we will never know the true amount of people who lost their lives, it doesn't alter the fact that a lot of them shouldn't be in our country anyway, but blame the people who make loads of money by bringing immigrants into our country via the back door.
alpha beta You are spreading garbage, lies and hate all over this page what is wrong with you? If you had any decency you’d show some respect for this beautiful mother and son.
@@barbaragreatb543 what makes you think there are so many illegals in there. It was just one sky scraper out of many across the UK. Are you implying that the UK or London for that matter is full of illegal immigrants?
This is so sad. Rest in peace to all of those who have died.
Elif Gülmen watch mental_boost
Elif Gülmen Construction Mangers stress and neglect workers. Money's there God; egoism is the way of there day! Lets face it the racist management that's to blame was helped by a racist government. Both more interested in a good time, than people's life's? Now blood on there hands.
That air pocket they find was truly a miracle, it wasn't there time to go
so was it everyone else's time? I know you're trying to be positive, but implying it was fate is cruel. sure it was a miracle for them, but a nightmare for countless others. rip
@@SantaFishes101 that's just the divine will of Allah, at least that's how we muslims view it...if it's time for you to leave this life, you do, none can change it...and if it's not your time to go, none can kill you...Alhamdulillah these people survived, our hearts go out to all those who died and have been affected...but we can't change anything nor could we do anything back then...
So they could give us some real truth
@@tasneemmohiuddin8380Nonsense
@tasneemmohiuddin8380 Tasneem, I'm also a Muslim alhumdulillah. However, you're in a Christian country and talk of Allah swt is best kept out of the discussion in this instance as respect for the non Muslims that died that fateful night.
What a stunning young man. A credit to his family and to his new home the UK. Welcome brother.
alpha beta WTH? Why do you think he’s lying? He has no reason to lie!
Shut up
alpha beta I see u commenting on all these videos, are u sick in the head??? Stop the the bullshit conspiracies, people had loved ones who died there
@@huzzy1968 ikr
It’s not suicide at all absolutely horrible they’d classify it as that
what a beautiful family, the way he holds his moms hand
They jumped because of a fire... I hope the UK accepts that and doesn't rule those jumping as a suicide... I am appalled at the thought that the UK Government would even consider that... Bless those 2 from the 23rd floor... Your Angels were guiding you down the stairs... Love and Blessings months after the fact, from Ontario, Canada.. xoxo
Angels, really?
@@sunekaas could have been worse, she could have said angles. You ok Hun?
Seems a lot of people don’t understand the meaning of suicide.
It’s hella sad but why you’re so upset they are saying suicide.
Suicide : the act of taking ones own life on purpose.
@@unitnippynipz it wasnt suicide. they were killed by whoever decided to build the building out of cheap materials to save money
@@lewis0705 I totally agree the people who built the buildings are responsible for their deaths. It’s just these people committed suicide due to not wanting to die from the fire.
Either way, they would of died :(
I don't believe such softly spoken words have moved as much emotion in me before.
Dad died saving others ...
so sorry.♡♡
I fel so sorry for you❤️❤️❤️
im so sorry
Look Behind You My condolences
Look Behind You I am staring at the screen, trying to gather the right words to express my desolation for the loss of your father and your mother's husband, but words cannot find enough meaning that I feel so deeply in my heart for you, your mother's strength in spite of her grief and the character of your father. I do not agree with the suggestion that your father was a suicide, nor should either of you allow this outrageous determination by this official. I am humbled by your strength and amazing determination it took in order to save your mother.
I will never will be able to express my depth of sorrow for the grief you both are enduring or the love I send to you both as one person to another. I was at the World Trade Centre on 9/11, on the Plaza as the first plane struck the North Tower, where I was going to a breakfast meeting at Windows of the World. I remained there through the entire nightmare, and remained to provide any assistance for rescue and recovery of body parts as I noticed the Emergency Vehicles were empty and untouched, which meant that so many ambulatory staff and members of the Fire Brigade remained inside the Towers. I lost 7 good friends on that day, and I still look at you with so much emotion. You have touched me so deeply.
I'm a modest man struck by disabilities that are genetic and extremely rare, but if there is anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate to contact me. Please stay strong for each other.
My heart goes out to all those who perished in the tower. What an amazing miracle that this brave man and his courageous mother, were able to get out alive from the 23rd floor. This woman will one day be reunited with her husband in eternal peace and happiness; never to be separated again.
Their love for each other is beautiful, and the interviewer was the gentlest I've seen in how he talked to them. Blessings.
Beautiful family - the son is somehow the double of both parents. Sending my love and condolences, I hope Flora and Farhad are able to take some comfort from the fact that Saber is at peace, and passed in kindness and bravery.
Carlotta V what a lovely comment 💜
Amy Baldwin 💜
God bless this family and all the Grenfell survivors with some form of peace so they may move forward from here. What horrible memories they must have. Such a tragedy in the 21st century.
Brian Kent it's Leigh, not Liegh. Sorry you're so jaded and uncompassionate to another human's tragedy.
Brian Kent Bahaha you're a moron!
Brian Kent and still can't spell.
Brian Kent your idiocy requires very few words. Perhaps that's why the NHS is so poor...the Brits lack compassion. Thank God I never got that trait.
Brian Kent clearly your vision needs checked...I'm hardly old. NHS told you that your vision's ok I bet. Pity your intellect is lacking too.
I passed Grenfell today. Chunks falling off and the inside lit up by floodlights. Ghostly
Yeah it’s horrifying. I passed it for the first time only the other week. It’s a skeleton.
@@stephaniewatkins8022gosh are you real Steph?
Such a lovely mother and son. So lukcy to be alive. Such a close bond. And Jon such a great interviewer
Even now watching this a few years later I still get goose bumps
zoe Marie 😔💚3 yr mark
My father taught me, from everything bad, you will find something good. The good in this story? These two very fine, gentle, loving people. I wish we could all be the kind and sweet. What a special, extraordinary world it would be.
wen he sed he grabbed his mum and wud not let go 😢. bless them all each and every single one
No oxygen from fireman ... not nets .. no crane ladders .... wtf . This is murder .
Save The Jungle who are these people?
Net's? They don't exist. Crane ladders, they were used, but none high enough in the UK are acceptiable for UK streets. Many firefighters shared their oxygene.
Your finger is pointed at the wrong people.
Save The Jungle well said! I just don't understand why nobody is mentioning how bad the rescue operation was in a country like England it's a scandal and should be raised more!
try2justbe how was it a bad rescue operation exactly?
It was not the fault of the fire brigade. smh. They were heroes.
That is my aunt and cousin. If you don't believe me, go ahead. My uncle AKA saber neda was titled missing for many months until they found his body, burnt and bruised. I had to watch other close family members bury him. I miss him, i do.. Even though its been a year already, i'm still trying to get over the fact i can't see him anymore. If you don't believe me, thats your choice but know that everybody has a reason to live. My aunt flora was in the hospital for months and she barely had a chance to live. I prayed for her to make it because i don't know how i would live knowing my aunt and uncle both died in the same night. Im thankful to have a cousin like him.. To everybody who is going through a rough time like me, just know that there is so much more then being sad and that better days are right around the corner if you keep your head up and be kind. I just wish my uncle would come back..
My sincere condolences.
six years later and it's still so unimaginably soul-shattering. I can only assume the other residents heard the news helicopters or saw them from the windows and assumed it was part of the rescue effort and not camera crews just... circling like vultures, waiting for them to die as part of the spectacle. I can't believe we're only just now getting to the part of the investigation where we find out whose fault this is. Real human beings made the choice to sacrifice everyone's safety to save a handful of pounds when they HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS, and they have yet to see any consequences from killing more than 70 people. I don't understand why an investigation couldn't be launched into both the fire's spread and the bureaucratic side of things simultaneously. There's not too much overlap there. You could easily have figured out who was responsible for which things such that when the engineers agree "this is how the fire got so bad", we have a handy list of everyone who was involved in the incorporation of whatever element exacerbated the hazard. But no, it got put off until just now. Feels like justice will never be served.
I still wanna know who's fridge it was that went on fire. I heard it was a man but he's not identified yet
@@yslxox7199 I was wondering about the fridge - including the manufacturer. Has there been any investigation into that. If this had been in the USA there would almost certainly have been some suing action going on.
R.I.P my 4 year old cousin 😢 😭
so sorry for your loss xo from Canada
Ruqaiyah Hossain you fucking arsehole! It’s not about who they were, they died!
Rest In Peace
I feel so sorry for this family and everyone else attached to that building.
This son was very brave and a hero.
May your dad RIP.
the stupidity, callousness and racism in some of these comments beggars belief. Karma is gonna get you!
My thoughts and prayers are with all the survivors, may they all find some peace and to all who died rest in peace.
MISANTHROPIC---I MAKE A point of replying to anyone who replies to me.But just what can i say to YOU?if you want scum lying bogus shit here---YOU pay for them.I SEE THEM AS DISEASED RATS
@@alandawson438 HOW DARE YOU BE SO BLATANTLY RACIST
@@alandawson438 I see them as humans!!
It’s so sad, I take comfort in knowing that when I dream about my brother he is talking to me from the other side. Bless you all ❤️❤️❤️
This man did an incredible thing to guide his mum down those stairs and survive. But its real shame his dad didn’t make it 😢! So sad but this should never have happened!
Even today its such a miracle that they escaped from the top floor (23rd floor) and found an air pocket which saved there lives my heart goes out to the firefighters the people who survived and the people who died or lost loved ones
I really felt emotional watching this. i would like to try and ask the Mother and son if they would ever like to visit Canada? I just really cannot imagine what they endured and their loss, but maybe I can help them a little bit by showing them another country for a visit? The love the Mom and Son have for each other is so clear. it is very special. please take care, if you read this and accept my true human support for you. peace
My eyes teared up when he said his dad died while helping others. I’m so upset the fact that even 9 months later people are homeless, didnt May say that within 3 weeks all the people who suffered through the fire were gonna be re housed? I’m also sad that they still say 71 people died. Isn’t it obvious hundreds and hundreds of people died?
It was like a horrendous nightmare just hearing LBC Radio that night...I awoke at about 1am and the radio was saying ''they have closed the Westway because of 'people watching'...I thought ''what accident happened on the Westway?''...swittched on Computer and just could not believe what I was seeing. ..and worse, there were reports of residents SAYING that it was a fire risk there...yet nothing was done.
Bless your mother and yourself Farhad
This is so sad, their eyes are speaking lots :(
I tend to avoid the news and reading about world events as much as possible as I am already finding so much difficulty in handling my past traumas and present life that I don't think I can handle hearing any more gut wrenching stories to further torture me at night. I'm not sure how I ended up on this particular story, but it's the first I'm hearing of it. I am so incredibly sorry for those that lost their loved ones. The path forward may be the hardest one you've ever walked, but I hope you can one day find some sort of peace. You may never be whole again, but one day, if only for a brief moment, you will be able to smile instead of cry when you think of the person you lost. I'd be lying if I said the pain of your loss will end...because it won't. You'll just get better at dealing with the hurt.
Today I send a bit of love from my own broken heart out to those in desperate need of consolation. You will make it through this and the story of your life isn't over just yet. Just keep going.
You're never alone.
I am literally crying ,I wish them both happiness and health.
It’s about time the council rehouse the Grenfell Tower survivors.
Also he is SO HANDSOME! GOD BLESS THEM.
A brave moving story, and I hope this couple can gain the strength and courage to move on with their lives. RIP to all those who didn't make it.
This piercing drone they're using for opening music is making my head hurt!
I lost someone very dear to me in horrible circumstances, and Flora's stories about expecting to see him everywhere felt exactly as I felt. It feels unreal and impossible to accept. The stories of our lives depend on certain people being there. My heart goes out to her. A new normal will emerge, with more loneliness than the old normal, but it will feel normal again, and there will be joy again, lots of it. She has a handsome son who might give her grandchildren someday :)
Are you proposing to get hooked with the son?
Love these two. Absolute miracle they survived. Beautiful people.
What a beautiful boy inside and out, so good to his mom ❤ So glad you both survived.
This report really helps to bring alive the reality of the smoke and just how difficult it made it to escape. It seems certain now that this situation occurred at least because economies were made is safety standards as well as the cladding. If this was down to a dodgy builder, or some backhanders or greedy developers, that they nail the bastards to the wall for this.
Barbara, if this had not been immigrants it would have been single mothers, young British families, or someone else. If as has been suggested, many of these were ILLEGAL immigrants, ending immigration programs would not have stopped them in the first place.
That said, I wholeheartedly agree that Britain needs to cease mass immigration when our social services are groaning under the weight of British scroungers. Be nice to sort them out too.
Mat Broomfield Yes I see where you are coming from, but if we close our borders and only allow those who are skilled workers, then we would not have this terrible shortage of housing, Drs. over crowded schools, the NHS stretched to its limit, and probably the tower block would not have also been so overcrowded had we stopped immigration after all, we are only a very small island.
@@barbaragreatb543 Bullshit. Britain has been having housing shortage well before immigration, since the '50s. The problem is estate PRICES, which any sort of speculators have been driving UP for decades, thus pushing poorer people away from cities to ever-expanding suburbs with cheap housing. Grenfell was built in 1974 to address the problem, along with thousands of similar blocks which by no coincidence developed all sorts of problems. Do you remember Ronan Point disaster and Summerland? Was it immigration to blame, hu?
I can't stop crying... this is just ... unbelievable! This is really tragic ... there's nothing that you could do for them to change how they feel! This rotten government has blood on their hands! For saving money , they have cause such suffering and now they're trying to cover up!
No planes. No Muslim passports found. The criminal government burned it down
He’s a real solider what a brave boy !!!! The bravery he had for him and his mum is unreal ! You are so strong ya Allah bless you and your mother
Could the air pocket have been a fireman mask. I've been watching the enquiry and the reason the fire spread is because of the cladding and how it was assembled to the exterior of Grenfell and the missing fire breaks around the windows as I understand.
As I understand from Studio E,s testimony, the fire breaks I mention were left off so the different units would fit together. It's looking very much like a botched job from those responsible. The council offered Studio E such a low amount that no one could complete with the price and studio E had never designed cladding for a high rise before.
The inquiry is done in modules which gives plenty of time to each specific scenario so it's quite easy to follow if your genuinely interested.
In hindsight there may have been fire brigade short falls, but those responsible for this disaterious tragedy happening and that the residents them selves warned about, and which Studio E called one complainer a trouble maker, should be dealt with severely.
RIP to the victims and strength to their loved ones.
God bless them. The horrors they have to live with. Heartbreaking.
Never stay in buildings with fires or signs of collapse, NEVER
And we’ve just voted the same government in for another five years despite this crime against the poor!
What a valiant family under such devastating circumstances.
saddest thing is all these people jumping because they knew they wouldn’t get out so they just gave up lost all hope and just jumped as they knew they would die either way 😭
This comments section is poison, turn back now.
for real, how is everyone so broken
Ichabaud Craine social engineering/propaganda.
Mnd0vrMnky im actually gonna listen
Yup. A clearer reminder than virtually any I’ve had the misfortune of encountering that half the world’s population has an IQ below 100.
Mnd0vrMnky advise taken❤️☝️
My heart goes out to both of you, and may God rest 's your dad's soul
So sad.. so brave... wishing them and all the survivorsall the best xxx
God bless you both
I pray all survivors can find some peace. I cannot imagine the burden and pain they carry each day.
This is so sad. It brings me to tears every time 😓
The council officers who signed it off were too blame along with the contractors and accountants by the looks of it.
mcwolfus88 Its the Thatcher government that allowed tower blocks to be built with no sprinklers etc.
Very brave son and mother ...terribly sad
TRAGIC,it affects me so much and i didn't know a single person from Grenfell Tower😭💔💔
So sad so sorry for your loss your son is really strong 🙏🏼
Such a great, brave mother and son.. he is so brave 😔
I've watched several stories of this high rise fire and it is pure shock to find out that many emergency services were missing from this building where many residents lived, no sprinkler systems, no fire extinguishers, no exit signs. Yet residents made the choice to continue living there. When safety isn't put at # 1 disaster prevails soon or later and always claims innocent lives. The owners of the building spent $ making the high rise looking pretty for the rich folks that lived around the building that complained this building was an eye sore for them and it's always about folks with $ that dictate the outcome of others as long as their benefit is put #1. This attitude will never get better as human being history has always been the ones with $ make all the rules because they are the ruling elite. It's great that so many have supported area shelters for the victims of this crime, but having the country of England accountable right up to the Queen needs to be addressed because more folks will continue to live in residential buildings that are not safe without rules that are enforced and checked and rechecked to make sure this change can happen. For the folks looking for a place to call home and live if it were up to me I'd rather live in my car instead of depending on someone else to make sure where I live is safe. Instead of protesting for more laws that will never be implemented because the ruling elite don't want it, invest in yourself with a higher education and degree so you can afford the residential places for rent that are safe. And never take anyone else's word for safety. Find out. Ask questions. Lots of them!
What a good son
Condolences to the family and all families
Dear Mrs. Neda. I know this kind of feelings and dreams and I take it serious. I have an idea. May I say it? You couldn't get the answer from which floor he jumped, because he doesn't know it. With feelings from Germany.
May all the people who couldn’t survive. Rest In Peace 😰🙏 although they can’t as this council couldn’t pay just 250,000 more to stop a fire from happening. It’s ridiculous how there were no sprinklers, anything that could stop the fire, and look at the fire blanket in Grenfell it was so tiny it wasn’t able to stop it.
😢❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏beautiful son and mother so sad 😞 for the loss of their father.
God bless both and hope they know the brave man watches over them today
Always get out of a building if its on fire, ignore what the fireman tell.
The son was talking about the ladies on the 23rd floor and I think two of them were my aunts
Rest In Peace To all those who died I know they had Good hearts💕💕🥺🥺
Just one of the saddest things to happen and big lose of life these people will never be the same again they must have seen things no one should have to see and not being able to help any one else heart breaking and for me seeing them poor to people before the fire closed in on them at the window with the fire right behind them and then they were gone heart breaking 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I was there! 5th floor.I got out,all family okay.Living with my uncle. It was sad, depressing.I will never forget that night
Fluffy Unicorn Cloud why u lyyiinnggg
Y u always lyingggggg
Im not suggesting that fire brigade told them to go up But They had been told to stay and wait for recuse and they cud see there was no way to goin down and there being helicopter flying near the tower you can how they came to the conclusion. It was probably people's hope and panic that lead them to believe it. The sheer panic of being faced with your death makes it harder to think clearly. It's all so sad.
Dear Ms. and Mrs. Neda. Want you to know, that Germany is scarified about this fire catastrophy and feeling with you and with all the people, that have to die.
A good report, but I take issue with the suicide comment.
People did not jump because they had a will or intent to die.
Escaping choking or burning to death and it's prolonged, excruciating suffering is the only reason. It's an act of self-care and preservation, not destruction. So these courageous folks took control over their lives.
They did not commit suicide.
They made A CHOICE.
Not because they felt self-destructive, as described below. Not because they intended to die that day, or even in that moment.
R.I.P 🖤

Suicide is death caused by injuring oneself with the intent to die.
- C.D.C
The intentional taking of one's own life. Destruction of one's own interests or prospects.
- Merriam-Webster dictionary
So sad. What brave people. Glad too see good people surviving.
Such a brave young man.
I live in Britain and saw smoke from quite a far area from Grenfell at 3AM when I was going to bed, I go to bed quite late. When I was closing my windows I could see so much smoke, but it was far away. I couldn’t smell it but I could see it. It was a very bad thing. My friend that lived very near Grenfell said to me, “I could smell it so bad I couldn’t sleep. I saw people at the ground of the fire, most were very badly injured or breathing heavily”. R.I.P 72 People what died from the Grenfell Fire, the ones that burned alive or couldn’t breathe. Don’t know how they are still living somewhere after their home was engulfed with flames.
Can’t imagine what they went through
alpha beta your so disrespectful, my brother was in that building and he describes to this day who's hurt he is and how hard it was to breathe as he cane to my house after his treatment.
@alpha beta mate what?
God bless everyone involved
Heartbreaking 😔
God bless you and all victims and survivors of Grenfell. My heart breaks for you. Prayers and love from Oregon, USA. The people who jumped did not commit suicide, and are not “jumpers.” It’s totally disrespectful to refer to them in this way. They are victims. At worse murder victims, at least, victims of extreme incompetence and neglect.
My heart hurts so much 💔
That's just sad they had to step on their flat mates and neighbour's
may Allah swt ease your pain and all glenfell tower victims. ameen
What is an air pocket?
damn they are blocking links
god bless this family
Im glad they survived
And then say the death toll is around 80. Government covering things up, I fear it is more. Really hope those who have passed away find peace and the loved ones they leave behind heal from this pain. Love and prayer.
I'm so happy you escaped, sadly sone of our dear friends. Not so fortunate
The son is his mom's hero carrying her down stairs in the thick smoke wot a hero sorry for the loss off his father moms husband
People need to know which buildings around world that are covered with ACM cladding. It’s been used in thousand and thousands of buildings. Fires that have occurred in buildings with ACM cladding have spread similar,
quickly climbing up the outside surface. It’s incredible that companies would continue to manufacture cladding that’s highly flammable for building manufacturing knowing that fires would spread as if someone was using gasoline on the outside. The design and material used for cladding I think we will see more fires with similar devastation unless steps are taken to correct the cladding
An emergency escape ladder may have been useless.
God bless you
Heartbreaking
