London tower block fire witnesses recall frightening scenes

Witnesses of the deadly blaze in London have spoken of the frightening scenes, as flames engulfed the 24-story building.

Anna, a witness living nearby, said that the smoke and flames starting from one side of the building quickly engulfed the whole building, and described it as “very dramatic and heartbreaking”.

According to another witness Samira Lamrani, a desperate lady at approximately the ninth or tenth floor threw her baby wrapped in a bed sheet and blanket out of the window. Fortunately, a man ran forward and miraculously caught the baby.
