Looks like the whole building is totally engulfed.  Prays for those people.

Damn! What the hell was that building made out of? Match-Light Quick-Start Charcoal?  :wow:

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Fire officials confirmed a "number of fatalities" after a massive inferno tore through a 27-story residential building in West London early Wednesday morning, but said it was too early to give an exact number.

Terrible news.

We're watching it on the news now. Terrible thing to happen. Be a while before they can give a more accurate picture or establish a cause. Terrible event.

My deepest sympathy to the victims and families.

Reports are that there could be up to 600 people living in that building. At 1AM most of them would probably be home too.

Man, that would be my deepest fear living in a building like that.  Horrible.   :-\

Wow. I fear it's too much to ask but I hope everyone was able to get out.  :(

The casualty list is getting bigger. There were some serious defects with this building that are now coming to light.
