There are a lot of unburnt set of curtains on the other windows. The only areas showing any damage are windows and balcony doors. The pictures show damage to only 3 flats. Those are known as FACTS.
If the panels at Grenfell had been made of napalm. they wouldn't have gone up like that. They were too thin. The fire risk of cladding is NOT spreading upwards, but of spreading DOWNWARDS from dripping. The advice on panels was to be careful of what was placed at the base of any building in case it also caught fire from dripping from the panels. According to the manufacturers the insulation is meant to be surrounded by non-combustible material to limit the spread of fire, between the insulation panels for each flat. Without that extra protection, the material was banned from use, here and the US, above a certain height. That height was determined by the reach of fire ladders and no other factor.
Some of us try to see beyond the pack of lies spread by the media, and do their own research on issues.
It looks like only ONE flat was badly damaged, with the rest of the appearance being soot. No spreading involved.
