Adele Praised After Being Spotted Hugging and Comforting London Tower Fire Victims
In less than 24 hours since the building started burning, superstar Adele made a quiet appearance outside the burning Grenfell Tower where she was caught "comforting" the victims and survivors.
The fire that devastated the 24-storey apartment was first reported around 1 a.m. Wednesday and engulfed the high-rise building for more than 10 hours. The desperate residents of the building were reported to have jumped off the building, with parents having to resort to throwing their children out of the windows in order to save them from being burned to death. Others used blankets and curtains as makeshift ropes to climb down the building while some also used them as parachutes.
The horrifying incident claimed the lives of 17 individuals while 74 are reportedly injured. According to authorities, the death toll can be expected to rise. NBC reports that around 250 firefighters arrived to deal with inferno, which is claimed to be able to burn for days.
