There are  just to many liberal  news channels  focusing on the Russia debate, instead of what's really going on in the world :(

Then find a right wing news source and link it to us for our edufication.

Sky News just said they are hearing that an appliance exploded, but they have no confirmation of that yet. I was watching the live broadcast. It's light there now and there is a lot of smoke and flames inside the building. Fire doesn't seem to be shooting up now like it was.

Any claims of terrorists or suicide bombers?

Yet you freely declared, Terrorists! And then blamed the liberal media for not telling the truth.

Your comments thusfar, are truly shameful.

Found this being reported from, I believe, Australia.

Sounds like this building was a disaster waiting to happen. I'll see if I can find something else.

Editting, Yes, this report is from Britain.

All I know if it was a local fire in a room, maintenance would have been on the spot   it seems the person with the ideology of suicide would  just let it go :(

Regarding the second to top floor. So far, I've found; "The London Fire Brigade tweeted that the fire involved the second to the top floor of the 27-story building."  

Nothing to say so far that's where the fire originated.

Fire hates to go downhill.

When the fire brigade arrived there was fire from the 2nd to the 27th floor, is what I've been hearing on TV.

OMG. How can a fire spread that quickly? Those poor people didn't have much of a chance to realize what was going on before the fire was fully engaged. If those reports I found are true, it was known there was a serious danger of fire in this building. I don't want to put a lot of credit into them because it really isn't fair to report this and assume things before an actual cause is determined. That may take a couple days, or weeks.

FOX is now reporting on it and they said they were told the fire started on the 26th floor and moved down.

The trouble with the news at our finger tips. Everybody scrambles for the exclusive and the truth is sometimes muddled in the panic for ratings.

I just updated a link to Fox News which makes no mention of where the fire started. Do you have one Susie?

I was just watching it on TV. The report wasn't very long. Will look to see if it's on the website.

Copied from the live updates on Stuff.co.nz

******

Police are telling anyone trapped to cover their faces with a wet towel and try to get out as soon as possible, not wait for the fire brigade. Family members on the ground are reportedly on the phone with people trapped inside to transmit this info and, for some, say goodbye

*******

My god that's heart breaking.

A guy who escaped from his 7th floor apartment has just said on TV the fire started on the 4th Floor.

Another witness has just said the 4th Floor too.

I think this is the same link that docy posted from FOX. Under the second pic, it says the fire is from the second to top floor. I would read that as being from the second floor up. Don't know where that report came from.

The live Sky News link I posted in #25 just said it was started by a refrigerator.

Way more sense.

When someone says "the fire is from the second to top floor", it doesn't mean that's where it started.

It means it's from the second to top floor.

I.E.: Those are the floors that are engulfed.

No reports of casualties, yet they can say it started from a refrigerator already?
