2 March 2022 14:35375212Iniquity? I take it you mean inadequate building regulations?
It's not the first or last fire tragedy. See Kings Cross Fire. 'Only' 31 dead I admit.
We stop smoking in stations. Clean out flammable rubbish from under escalators. We move on."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"
Dr. Hunter S Thompson - 2 March 2022 17:15375221The issues over building regulations are not the main concern. The real iniquity is that the residents raised their concerns years before this revolting loss of life occurred but were ignored by the Kensington and Chelsea administration and their management organisation.
“We firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the KCTMO, and bring an end to the dangerous living conditions and neglect of health and safety legislation that they inflict upon their tenants and leaseholders.”
Written long before people paid with their lives.
And don't conflate it with Kings Cross. Two totally separate issues. You can go on ignoring the facts if it suits your idealogical disposition. Even the Moore-Bick enquiry (if it ever manages to come to a conclusion) will be hard pushed to conceal this repugnant episode. - Keith Sansum1

For what? Sometimes bad things just happen.
Look at the Boeing 737 MAX groundings after 346 people died in two crashes.
Estimated $20 billion in fines, compensation and legal fees for Boeing but no individuals prosecuted at end of day."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

You need to understand that negligence and malfeasance only enter most current Tory politicians' vocabulary when they don't want it to apply to them, Keith. - Captain Haddock

Of course it's not 'OK'.
It's never OK that people die in a preventable tragedy - but that does not mean some person is necessarily culpable."We are living in very strange times, and they are likely to get a lot stranger before we bottom out"

if it was preventable, then someone, or some organization or authority, is culpable for not preventing itray hutstone likes this - Keith Sansum1
