【大紀元2017年06月15日訊】(大紀元英國記者站報導)6月14日凌晨,倫敦西部White City地區的Grenfell Tower塔樓突然燃起熊熊大火。火勢迅速蔓延,短短15分鐘的時間裡,大樓就陷入一片火海。大火造成至少17人死亡,多人受傷,另有多人失蹤。

當時有超過600名居民正在樓內,大部分在睡覺。人們被濃煙熏醒,被鄰居的尖叫聲驚醒。不少住在低樓層的家長用床單結成繩子,將孩子從窗戶送到樓下。還有目擊者表示,看到一名嬰兒被家長從9、10層樓扔出來,幸好,被下面的人接住,嬰兒只受了輕傷。

從大樓內逃出的人表示,火場如同「人間煉獄」、「恐怖片」。還有的人說,大樓最頂上三層幾乎沒有人生還。總計86人被送到倫敦的幾所醫院接受治療,其中18人情況危殆。另有多人失蹤。

The massive fire ripped through the 27-storey apartment block in west London in the early hours of Wednesday, trapping residents inside as 200 firefighters battled the blaze.

大樓修建於1974年,下面4層是公共區域,上面20層樓有120間公寓,沒有火災報警器,灑水器也失靈了,而且唯一的消防樓梯被堵住了。被困的人們感到非常絶望,一名居民說:「要麼是抱著孩子跳窗戶,或者坐著等死。」

倫敦消防局派出超過200名消防員,在接到火警後六分鐘就趕到現場,但是由於火勢太過凶猛,而且大樓有24層高,所以12個小時後仍有人被困在大樓內。人們站在窗前打著手機照明,等待救援。

消防員在撲滅大火的過程中也險象環生,火勢幾度被控制住,但又幾度死灰復燃。錄影顯示,當一名消防員乘坐雲梯打算營救被困在樓裡的人的時候,大樓燃燒產生的瓦礫滾成一個火球,砸向雲梯。

有報導稱,火災是由於大樓內一台發生故障的冰箱引發的,但是消防局表示,目前還無法確定起火原因。#
