This horrific incident taught me that evacuation is never an overreaction. Get out, and get out FAST.

Sometimes ignoring protocol is the right move, just look at the survivors of 9/11, they were told to stay at their seats but there were those who ignored it saving themselves from either the second plane crash or the towers falling.
As this was sadly once situation where following protocol sadly made it impossible to save lives.

When someone says don't leave a building during an emergency the best thing to do is to leave the building as quickly as possible

In a documentary made in 1984 called The Great British Housing Disaster it is  mentioned that cladding could be a fire risk .They knew the risks for years.

Nine years later and no one has yet to be prosecuted? Do they want people to hold their breath like the people who were told to stay in their apartments until they actually do something about what and who caused this? That's some real BS.

I saw this happen live on BBC News. You could literally hear screams over the noise of the firefighting operations.

I just passed by on the flyover next to it when it's happened 😢

I remember maybe a week after this happened when someone posted one of those "the end is near" videos saying that the world was going to end next month and the burning of the building was the start of the countdown

For your next video, I think battle wounds during the American Civil War would make for an interesting topic; wartime medical practice was so fucked back then.

I’ve listened to a few videos on this but it hit me just now how recent this was. How quickly and horrifically damaging this was I guess my brain assumed it was in the 70’s-80’s. This is tragic either way and I hope those folks and families have found peace.

I remember this when it happened and I saw the fire on television from here in Canada and it was horrific.

Anyone remember Kerrin Point ? This was a tower block on the Ethelred Housing Estate in Kennington , south London . Kerrin Point caught fire after a faulty boiler exploded in 1997 . Nobody died , a few were seriously injured but everyone in the block was left homeless and some still are to this day .

What a nightmare!

One staircase?  ONE ?  One internal staircase and no fire escapes?  And no sprinklers?  And the entire building was retrofitted in extremely flammable materials ?  Thats criminal.

Glad to see people still talk about this tragedy and raise awareness

Totally avoidable and really sad.

This incident clearly summed up everything wrong with our country, corruption, arse kissing up to the rich, walls of bureaucracy so nothing can get done. Simply a disgrace

Never let anyone tell you to stay put whenever there is a massive, active destruction event. Unless it's a tornado or nuke.

I live near Grenfell. It is a true tragedy.

What a sad event. Unfortunately I don't see the victims families or survivors getting any answers anytime soon in this climate of 'no blame' that Briton seems to have right now.
I hope there will be a countrywide investigation into these companies that are cutting corners and killing people. I get wanting to make money but when you put people's lives on the line the only question to ask is 'How many people have to die for this practice to stop?'
They already knew so they should be charged with some type of manslaughter, murder, or other form of killing. And everybody sue. If it were in the states I would hope more would have been done.
Thanks for covering this.
