Thread: Twin Towers WTC v Grenfell Tower

English building and architecture is better.

Another slight difference is - one is 10% the height of the other and didn't get blasted by a 500 mph plane carrying 10,000+ gallons of fuel.

Fuel that is proven by fact to not reach temperatures that can melt steel.
One fire started on the 4th floor then went upwards gutting the entire building and burning for 15 plus hours, while the other was hit high up, burned for 2 hours but managed to damage the untouched steel structure thousands of feet below.

There was also no steel in the London building just concrete.

Come on people open your eyes.

Steel doesn't have to MELT for it to lose it's structural integrity






But whatever

The building controller who passed this specification should be hung.

Is that what all the protesting was about? They showed it last night and looked like a near riot broke out with May being jeered and rushed off the property etc.

People are annoyed about the inaction and a real response to the tragedy

Seems tragedy and empty rhetoric of officials in response knows no boarders. Was it Government owned or private. Almost sounds like it was a death trap.

Government owned and they may have picked a cheap cladding which may have made the fire spread quicker

Terrorists were mixing bombs and screwed it up.

The building will be made to a specification , if the contractor used the specified materials then he isn't at fault. That would put the fault with the architect and design team.
If the contractor used unspecified materials which didn't meet British Standard then not only is he to blame , but the building inspectors and control team who are paid to make sure the construction is up to specification before passing it as a habitable dwelling/dwellings are also at fault.

Dudes, it's a shame but fire makes shit burn, sorry to tell that to you.

I have a house and if something caught on fire it very well may burn to the ground.

The Grenfell tower was an awful accident, but the New York thing was an evil terrorist attack.
