Reading a bit more on this now and it appears quite likely that the exterior cladding is the culprit here as well -- similar to the Address Hotel fire in Dubai on New Year's Eve a few years back. All the internal fire suppression and safety gaps in the world can't help if the fire climbs the outside of the building.I really would have expected that the U.K./London powers that be would have ensured that this was remedied. There have been at least 4 modern skyscraper fires in the Middle East in the past 4 or so years due to flammable exterior cladding. It is not like the problem is unknown. |
