12 DIE IN TOWERING INFERNO


12 DIE IN TOWERING INFERNO

Flames and smoke billowed from a 24-storey residential tower block in west London on Wednesday. About 600 people were believed to have been inside the building’s 120 flats when the blaze broke out early in the morning, killing at least 12 people and injuring 74 others. The toll may rise as many are believed to be still trapped inside the tower. 

बुधवार को पश्चिम लंदन में 24-मंजिला आवासीय टॉवर ब्लॉक से लपटें और धुंआ तरंगित हुआ। माना जाता है कि इमारत के 120 फ्लैटों में करीब 600 लोग अंदर थे जब सुबह सुबह ही लपट लग गई, कम से कम 12 लोग मारे गए और 74 अन्य घायल हो गए। संख्या बढ़ भी सकती है क्योंकि मानना है कि कई लोग अभी भी टॉवर के अंदर फंसे हैं।
