        I'm sure Breitbart is already trying to say the refrigerator was Muslim.

        That may be what STARTED the fire. What caused the whole building to go up like a pile of matchsticks?

        Still, they knew the flammable materials existed in construction. Owners, builders should face criminal charges.

        Faulty fridge AND a building lacking horribly in fire safety.

        OMG that's horrible & I also heard that the material called cadding, through out the building was flammable! Some other buildings, the same!

        Truly awful. Inexcusable. Should not be taking place today in light of previous similar tragedies. Contractors knew better, certainly.

        How do people compare a fully loaded jet hitting a building to this? Stupid is as stupid does.

        No two events are exactly alike, but every time I see a building either on fire like that or collapse...I can't help but think of 9/11.

        Understandable. I’m a New Yorker, so it’s a sensitive topic for me. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

        I've never been to NYC (and I hope that changes), but I also remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. Hope your family/friends were okay...

        Not true. Faulty fridge triggered it but flames spread because of flamible material covering the building. Get it right.

        A refrigerator burned down an entire high rise? Right.

        And the building didn't collapse with a fire that massive? Amazing 🤔

        Still nothing on the eco friendly accelerant on the outside of the building?
