THE GRENFELL TOWER FIRE
Episode 198 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the Grenfell Tower fire of June 2017 — the London public housing block where combustible cladding installed in a 2016 refurbishment spread a kitchen fire to the entire exterior in minutes, killing 72 people, in a building whose residents had warned in writing seven months earlier that a catastrophic event was coming and been ignored.
The residents wrote in November 2016 that someone would die. The fire was June 2017. Seven months later. Seventy-two people. Nine years of waiting for accountability.
