Grenfell Tower Inquiry Finds Systemic Failures
News summary

A public inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire, which resulted in 72 deaths in 2017, has revealed a complex web of failures spanning government, regulatory bodies, and the construction industry. The report, led by Sir Martin Moore-Bick, highlights systemic issues, including complacency and dishonesty, which transformed the building into a 'death trap'. Key players, including companies like Kingspan, Celotex, and Arconic, were found to have engaged in misleading practices, while the government's deregulatory policies contributed to inadequate fire safety oversight. Survivors and victims' families have expressed frustration that accountability has yet to materialize, with the police continuing investigations that may take years before any charges are filed. The inquiry's findings underscore a need for significant changes in regulations and corporate accountability to prevent future tragedies. Calls for justice persist, with advocates urging that those responsible for prioritizing profit over safety must be held accountable.
