Eyewitnesses and survivors tell what they experienced last night at the big fire in London’s residential tower. The 23-storey building is almost completely burned, and the death hall is running out.
Parents in the burning tower in London throw eyed their children down in an attempt to save them from the fire. A fire watcher managed to catch a baby thrown out of the window by a ragged mother.
Samira Lamrani says to the British newspaper The Guardian that she saw that a woman tried to save her baby by dropping out of a window from the ninth or tenth floors.
“The people were shouting and shining on the windows. A window was standing halfway. A woman begged that she would throw her baby out of the window and someone had to catch it. A man ran forward and managed to catch the baby. “
Another eyewitness says to the LBC radio station that a woman threw her son out of the window for a year or five. “I think he’s alright. He may have broken some bones or a few bruises.”
“Another woman shouted:” My child, my child, I have to go outside, I have to save my child. ” But we could not do anything. There was nothing we could do. “
