Just horrific, and guess what's being suspected.. the 'green sustainability' conglomorate had that 27 story bldg.'s exterior sprayed w/ some new insulation, from top to bottom. That bldg. went
up like a torch, fire quickly engulfed entire bldg!
Heard about this on radio this morning..

Grenfell Tower cladding that may have led to fire 'was chosen to improve appearance of flats from luxury homes nearby'
Material would help make the flats look better from the luxury flats nearby, planners noted

Andrew Griffin - June 14 2017

The cladding that might have led to the horrifying blaze at Grenfell Tower was added partly to improve the view from the luxury flats around it.

During a refurbishment aimed at regeneration last year, cladding was added to the sides of the building to update its look. The cladding then seems to have helped the fire spread around the building, allowing it to destroy almost the entirety of the structure and kill people inside.

And that cladding – a low-cost way of improving the front of the building – was chosen in part so that the tower would look better when seen from the conservation areas and luxury flats that surround north Kensington, according to planning documents.

“Due to its height the tower is visible from the adjacent Avondale Conservation Area to the south and the Ladbroke Conservation Area to the east,” a planning document for the regeneration work reads. “The changes to the existing tower will improve its appearance especially when viewed from the surrounding area.”

The document, published in 2014 and providing a full report on the works, makes repeated reference to the “appearance of the area”. That is the justification for the material used on the outside of the building, which has since been claimed to have contributed to the horror.

So they sprayed something on the building that WASN'T FLAME RESISTANT?? I smell a lawsuit...a big lawsuit.
