The narrative has moved away from terrorism to lax government regulation and the greedy evil landlord.

In 2015 when they installed the cheap materials and installed the “chimney” curtain and paid off the inspecters. Since the gov’t was involved I bet no one will be held liable.

This fire reminds WAY too much of the tragedies of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire from 1942 and the Hartford circus tent fire from 1944--the flammable materials went up so fast there was no chance of escape.

I wonder if the police and/or the security services have entertained the possibility that the fire could have been started deliberately by one of that complex’s many Third World moslem residents/visitors.

27 floors quickly burned to a blackened shell, and less than three fatalities per floor. Remarkable.

The article has pictures of the burnt-out tower block.

The fire took out floor after floor, which shouldn’t happen.

Architects need to look over the plans.

I believe the British have coroner’s inquiries.

The tower was in a Muslim dominated area.

What (or who) started this fire?

Kensington is a very nice area of West London - highly doubtful the elites will allow these projects to be rebuilt, opportunity to get the muzzies and riffraff out.

Just curious - what were people expecting the prime minister of The U.K. To have done to fight this fire or reduce its immediate after effects?

They had an inspection the SAt. just before the fire....but what too few news sites are failing to tell is how the tenants often put suitcases and storage items in the stairwells....took fire direction signs off the doors and also misused appliances....and disengaged the fire alarms..they were sited for these often but it didn’t stop them from doing it.

No matter how you look at this welfare..or in this case council buildings, generally do not have very responsible tenants and if foreigners as any of these were you have the problem of reading directions......

Either or any of the above...the loss of life still is a sorry thing to happen for the families that lived there...as well those who survived who lost all their goods.
