Totally non football related but I really do need to ask a blatantly obvious question. My heart truly goes out to everyone affected by this disaster.
The horrors of this will scar many people for life and I can fully understand their frustrations with anybody in authority but nowhere have I seen or heard who the fu*k gave the advise/instruction that if there was a fire in that tower block people should stay in their rooms and wait for the fire brigade to come and save them? Everything else aside this has to be the one single contributable factor that caused most needless loss of life. Those who got out have genuine reason to get upset with anybody in authority but at least they are alive.
Any other fire drill for industrial premises, shopping centres, homes, is get out as quick as you can and yet here it was totally the opposite. Is it me or is it that nobody likes to point a finger at the fire service because that is undoubtedly where this will have come from. Health and safety has gone mad in this country but nobody seems to want to take responsibility when things like this go wrong, "not me guv" is everywhere. A simple risk assessment says on one hand stay in your room and die from smoke inhalation or burns or on the other risk bumping into a fireman trying to come up the fire escape whilst you are on your way down. FFS that why they call them fire escapes !!!!
Rant over.
