Early Wednesday morning in London, an apartment building caught fire and the firefighters are still working on putting it out. There are reports that people jumped from the high-rise building to their deaths. The tragedy has claimed several lives and at least 30 people have gone to area hospitals for a variety of injuries.

The incident is gut wrenching for a city and country that has dealt with so many recent terrorist attacks.  Although this event likely is not related to terrorism at all, it is terribly sad. 

I am an American and I have a deep respect for the British and their resilient culture. My thoughts and prayers are with you all this morning. Especially for those directly affected by the terrible fires.
