Re: Flames spread twice as quick ??
Do I remember correctly that the cladding was aluminium? With access to plenty of oxygen aluminium is very flammable. One of my naughty hobbies when at secondary school was playing with home made explosives and one of the ingredients was aluminium powder mixed with (Secret Stuff)found in many peoples garage, (no not petrol- a dry powder.)26-02-2021, 01:49 PM

Why use flammables on high rises at all ??
I suppose in this case though, , it seems to be the regulations were
