A recent, damning report on the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in London has revealed that decades of systemic failings by the government, regulators, and the industry transformed the high-rise into a 'death trap' that claimed 72 lives.

The public inquiry into the 2017 blaze, which stands as the deadliest fire on British soil since World War II, concluded that there was no 'single cause' responsible for the tragedy.

Instead, the report attributes the calamity to 'many failings of a wide range of institutions, entities, and individuals,' all contributing to the disaster.
