One properly protected stairwell and we'd not have had this appalling
outcome.


What do you think would have protected it better? (Genuine question,
not a devils advocate).


All the usual things it was built to do. Preventing fire and smoke
getting into it.


That's down to fire doors, and we have yet to see the conclusions drawn
by the enquiry.


Having emergency lights and so on. Proper signs etc. There weren't even
any floor numbers on it. Great help to the rescue services - not.


If those were missing, I'm sure the enquiry will tell us.


It was mentioned by a fireman on TV.

But yes. Let's hope any enquiry is comprehensive and findings acted on.
Sad it has taken a disaster of this magnitude for some to realise building
regs etc aren't just red tape to annoy people.
