It shouldn't matter that other flats were on fire.

A proper enquiry will find out why the core failed and so many
couldn't get out. The cladding is a side issue and may well be hiding
the real issues.


People were told (in both the short and long term) to stay inside their
flats and await rescue. But that only works if most of the flats aren't
also on fire from the outside in.


They weren't told to stay in their flats i they are on fire so they
should have been able to walk out the door into a safe core and leave.

Something serious went wrong to prevent people from getting out and as
going through the window wasn't an option the cladding didn't prevent it.
