Ernie vital Debbie lamel Gary mes be haftom the names and faces of the 72 killed when a fire ripped through their home a disaster which we now know could and should have been prevented the simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable and those who lived in the tower were badly failed over a number of years seven years on families are still racked with grief Moses was just a very gentle soul he um he protected both Jackie and I throughout our teenage years he he was just he was just a lovely person he helped me raise my children today's grenfell inquiry reports finally brings some answers I was very happy that the inquiry team named the major players the fact that he mentioned the the construction industry it means that they really understood that it was important that these people be held accountable Ed Defan escaped from the tower that night just months after predicting a tragic in the building for me I think the thing about it is is that there isn't a there isn't a PUO moment where there's like one culprit it's kind of like like kind of grappling with all these different elements and how badly we were failed by so many people with the consequence that we lost 72 lives our homes were destroyed and our community has been put into trauma for seven years for the survivors and those who lost family friends and neighbors that night this is a momentous moment the inquiry report going through in forensic painstaking detail how over decades a series of failures and deliberate decisions led to this tragedy but for the community what comes next is even more important from a personal perspective uh justice to me looks like some people in jaob um I don't want corporate manslaughter that's just a huge fine to a company that does nothing um things need to change brenford can't happen again the tragedy traumatized an entire community and at 11:00 people came together as the report was published the report is um and should be taken as now a statement of truth I think um residents in the local community as well as Bev family and survivors who we are thinking of today who have gone so through so much I've waited long enough for years survivors and the bereaved have demanded three things truth change and Justice they now have the truth of what happened that night next they want accountability and action Rachel venol Sky News in North Kensington
