We'll said Tigers. It started showing some recordings on TV and I had to switch it off seeing people stood helplessly in their flats.
I'm thinking of the the people who knew anyone who died in that building. Family, friends, loved ones. Some of them will have watched the images shown on television. I don't think they should have shown some of those terrible scenes. It cracked me, so how did it affect their own?
I can imagine lots of residents objecting to sprinklers on the grounds that they are more likely to be set off by an act of hooliganism than by a real fire. Maybe an option is to install sprinklers in common areas and 4-hour firedoors on flats. But then the bean-counters stick their oar in...
My sister is currently in a transit van heading to West London, after her and a load of her mates in Hackney filled it with clothes, bedding, towells, toiletries, food and toys. Well done her.
Completely agree. The news these days goes too far: is too lucid and too graphic. Yes, we should be able to access the news of events, but not images of death that might haunt us forever. Images that almost seems to be shown as some form of entertainment. In addition, the testimony of the key witnesses/survivors was also too graphic, some moderation is needed as these were transmitted at times children could have been watching.
I dont think, no, I know we didn't need images, but tomorrow there will be a 12 page pull out in some paper fit for wiping something with pictures of people in trouble. Will they pay for the rights to use their images..?... Every bit of revenue from their papers should be given to the fund, whatever fund.
Good on her.... people have been trying to book and pay for rooms in hotels in the local area for those displaced... .. Any self respecting hotel chain should have been offering the places up anyway...
Before I turned off earlier the BBC had the Press Conference with the emergency services. The Old Bill specifically requested the media show constraint & think about the images they show. Basically show some respect & be responsible. The BBC's very next piece showed a close up of the building & highlighted some poor soul at a window. Someone's friend or relative. Idiots.
It's gratuitous and lacks dignity. It shouldn't have to be spelt out but they need taking to task and firm parameters set (or realligned/reinforced).
It's just been a horrible month of news. Thoughts with all those affected and once again massive respect to the emergency services who put themselves in danger when others are encouraged to keep away.
Sky news just showed a video from some residents on the 2nd to top floor.. showing they had no way out. they unfortunately obviously perished How ****ing insensitive
Earlier on the news, one reporter was asking a woman what she was doing , she obviously in a panic said I'm looking for my sister , he kept standing in front of her asking her to repeat who she was looking for , when she was clearly in distress , I thought it was out of order
Had to turn off Good morning Britain today. Piers Morgan was being even more ****y than normal. ****ing hate this instant news bollocks. Reporters trying to get instant reactions from traumatised people.
