    This type of combustible cladding should be outlawed on high-rises, they are like firewood spread too quick for fire department to respond.

      Not really. People learn from the mistakes. Ultimately the home owners bear the resposibility to move away or stay!

    The cause was failure to honour contracts, and the solution is punishment for not honouring contracts.

    It's best to cover Gas pipes up in some boxing, so the Gas can move along and gas someone else further along the box. Leave them uncovered and you can hear it leaking, psssssst.

    Scrap one regulation for every new one?? The word ‘regulation’ should be banned and replaced with ‘shit that keeps people from dying or getting hurt unnecessarily’
    I’m all for streamlining and making things efficient but they ought to aim for the endless degree one can contract out work. THAT is the kind of tape you need to keep short.

    People living in shanty towns have no fire service. They are aware enough to be responsible for their own level of risk. If the lowest income inhabitants rely on some uniformed idiot telling them to stay put when there’s obvious danger, what can I say?

    At 5:23 it is mentioned how the firefighters radios weren't working properly. Just like on 9/11. Probably being jammed, just like 9/11...

      @Gencturk92 6 лет назад +2

      Emergency services will always have radios working, otherwise how can they communicate with each other in situations like this ? but for some reason, only on 911 and Grenfell Tower, the radios were cut out...hmmm, I wonder why ?

      Yet, Cheif Orio Palmer got his working, got to the 78th floor of the south tower then was able to put out the 2 isolated pockets of fire with his men, then the controlled demolition started.

      There's many reasons why radios don't work, and it's no conspiracy.
