Several warning signs associated with the west London blaze were missed in the years following a separate fire in Knowsley Heights in northern England in 1991, according to the report published Wednesday. Failures by the policymakers, contractors, local council and fire brigade all contributed to the extent of the disaster.
“The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable and those who lived in the tower were badly failed over a number of years and in a number of different ways by those who were responsible for ensuring the safety of the building and its occupants,” Chairman Martin Moore-Bick said at a press conference following publication of the report.
