        Honestly look into thermodynamics and aerodynamics then speak to anyone who regularly jumps it's not a good idea, this is a h&s fiasco.

        The council need to be made accountable for this tragedy, they're too ingrained in the system to care sadly.

        This was 700 plus residents, a fire that occurred a bit after 1am. Less than 200 have been accounted. There will be no happy news.
