How is it that a building put up relatively recently was not fit for purpose, each flat is supposed to contain fires for up to 1 hours, yet in this tragic case this simply did not happen.... why?

The way i heard it this fire jumped from 9th floor to the 11th and then set fires to flats on the 4th floor too... This is serious because it now calls into question the specs we have been long fed on fire resistance standards, and the building spec of not that type of building but all high rise buildings of that nature from the 60's...

At a wild guess either they didn't bother to test for every eventuality, or the building material weren't of the highest grade...either or I hope people DEMD answers...because something is very fishy..

I especially did not like the response from the leader of Southwark Council which was evasive and vague...

RIP the Six who died!!
