On June 14, 2017, an emergency call from London council housing Grenfell Tower reported a small fire on the fourth floor of the building. Hours later, all 24 stories of the building were on fire and 72 residents were stuck inside. While residents called for help from the roof and from their windows, family members and neighbors watched in horror from the street. Many recorded the event.
Nabil Choucair was there. Six members of his family were unable to escape.
As the government investigation into the event continues, many argue this was not a random event: https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kpagd/a-list-of-every-government-delay-to-the-grenfell-tower-inquiry
