re: #224 Interesting Times
According to a link in that tenants’ group site, the Grenfell Tower was “built in the 1970s”, and recently had an £8MM (?) renovation. It seemed to be a fairly thorough gut-out, and, besides the low standards of modern British construction, I’m guessing that there may have been some wiring/plumbing/HVAC work left undone, or badly done that sparked the fire. And the bad management practices the group was complaining about probably didn’t help.
Here in NYC, our building management co. regularly send the residents fire-safety material: I usually glance at it and file it or toss it: I think I’ll change my practice from now on.
