An Entire Skyscraper Went Up In Flames Sunday: Milan, Italy



- NowThis News. An entire skyscraper went up in flames on Sunday, in a terrifying sight captured on video. Thankfully, there were no reports of death or injury, and all residents were successfully evacuated. (warning: distressing images). https://go.nowth.is/knowthis_youtube

Investigations into the cause of the blaze is underway, but the speed at which the tower burned up was reminiscent of the deadly 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in the UK. 'What seems already clear from the start is that the external cladding of the building went up in flames far too quickly, in a dynamic that recalls the Grenfell Tower in London,' Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sal said Monday, via ABC News.
