00:00I
00:02Say grandfather's my home
00:05I would always see the London Eye
00:07It had the most amazing sunsets
00:10Back in 2017, it was becoming summertime that night. We just went out for dinner
00:17And then I got a text from a friend fancy going on Xbox
00:23But yeah, it's as simple as that really
00:25Fire Brigade. Yeah, hello. I'm in the fire in Greenfield Power. Quick, quick, quick, quick
00:35Yes, I know it's burning as long as you're okay
00:43My window was a light and it just raced towards me. They were telling us to stay inside
00:50But the fire was getting closer
00:53We just dashed it for the stairwell
00:56It was just smoke black. I didn't have any idea where they were
01:01I honestly believed it would be dealt with because
01:07It's the United Kingdom
01:10Somebody had been grossly negligent
01:13This is described as sticking a petrol tanker to the outside of a building
01:18This was just huge corporate scandal
01:20There's internal emails that say oops, we are not clean
01:25Sadly, companies were able to find a way around the regulations
01:28Any minister who wants to introduce a regulation has to scrap one
01:32We raised concerns with the council
01:34We were labeled scroungers
01:36We didn't deserve anything, so just shut up
01:39There are thousands of buildings that still have the combustible cladding
01:44Feel free to ask me as many questions as you like, but use your time wisely
01:49Right
01:50There's 72 people died
01:53We still don't know who's going to be in prison
01:56We just want justice
01:57It's heartbreaking, unbelievable cruelty
02:00Everyone is blaming each other
02:02Dishonesty
02:02The line governance
02:03Greed
02:05Why did this have to happen?
02:08Why?
02:09Why?
02:28Why?
02:29Why?
02:30Why?
