What's the awnser if stuck in a tower block on fire in the KOW with no way down the staircases whilst the fire department negotiate on price then?
What about abseiling down the fugger?

I think we could find that the cladding used was not the cladding specified. The specified material had a fire retardant and the cladding used had highly combustible polyethylene as an ingredient. Many times cheaper than what should have been used.
Apparently, after the 'great fire' in 1666[edit] the building code was amended so that all facades of buildings had to be made of non-combustible material. There would had to have been 'producer statements' for this cladding, so if there has been a rort, those papers would have been false.

The opposite of instinct is extinct.
Choices given, fight, flight or faith. Only 2 are natural, only one enforced.
Always sad to see peeps hurt, always more sad to see fuck all change.

Some angry local lady from the council was on CNN saying that National Grid came in and insisted (she said insisted as they awnser to no one) on installing new gas pipes in the stairwell area and evidently the pipes were not boxed in. Also said the stairwell was prone to vandalism.

Gas pipes in a tower block. What could go wrong. I'm glad there's no municipal gas supply here, the place would be like a warzone.

Good Info Kinard. If the stuff really did come from China there will be no way to do anything even if after forensic examination it turns out fake shit was used.kinard wrote: There would had to have been 'producer statements' for this cladding, so if there has been a rort, those papers would have been false.
I imagine the directors of the company that fitted it have fled the coop by now too.
Sad thing.

"No DSS" which means all the people were working and not sponging off the state. Not that it really matters but will stop the "all immigrants" comments I've heard out and about.

Or it means it's a sublet, possibly by people already on benefits but certainly not allowed to let it and they want cash and don't care how many people pile in.YaTingPom wrote:http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to- ... 69142.html

Still speculation, and more probably a combination of factors. However, when one is a cynic (me), being too quick to recriminate is a flaw but I'm still gonna target the principal contractor.RobW wrote:Good Info Kinard.

At least one of the dead is a young Syrian refugee, around 23, staying in the tower with a couple of others who managed to get out. His cousin who lives nearby was on the news last night being interviewed and telling how the guy was on the phone to his parents back in Syria, telling them that the room was filling with smoke, that he loved them but was going to hang up and die soon.
Totally heartbreaking. The interviewer - an experienced newshound in his fifties - was clearly shaken by it.
