I wasn’t aware that the plot of the Towering Inferno film involved Corrupt councillors, a Virtue Signalling MP who’s now lost her majority, and the use of obviously flammable plastic cladding
I haven’t been keeping up with all that bit.
Ironically it was close cost cutting contractors creating a ‘fire situation’.
But the real point was/is if a high tower block goes up below and you’re above the fire you’re effectively stuffed unless you’re very lucky regarding escape possibilities.
It’s obvious that the lower the building and the more fire fighting logistics you’ve got both reduces the potential of a fire below you and increases your chances of escape in the event of it happening.But what you don’t need is flammable plastics,especially unnecessary ones,adding fuel to the fire.
Which leaves the question no matter how corrupt the councillors may have allegedly been how could plastic ever be considered anything other than fuel in the event of a fire.It’s not like the alleged bent councillors put a gun at the head of the fire service in authorising a fire certificate for the building in that regard.
