5000 Evacuated As Google UK HQ Roof Garden Catches Fire

Our Comments

Had this incident happened elsewhere, it wouldn't certainly have garnered so much publicity and nearly 40 articles from some of the biggest national newspapers in the UK.This shows, to some extent, the importance of Google in the eyes of the media. Also the Telegraph reports that 5000 people were in the building, surely that's 500.
