This is the worst fire I've ever seen its an entire apartment complex where 100s of people live. A lot of people have died and I want to know the cause. This kind of tragedy makes me angry, how can 24 levels go up in flames like that?

I saw this on the news. This is very sad. I wonder what started the fire in the first place for it to get so hot and wild so quickly. Has anyone heard if this may have been arson?
