On June 14, 2017, a massive fire broke out at the Grenfell Tower apartment building in the Notting Hill neighborhood of London. At least 80 people died.

Witnesses described "horrible scenes" as 200 firefighters battled the inferno. Residents were trapped as flames engulfed the 27-story building from the second floor, and began traveling upwards.
