We know the material on the outside of the building is flammable. It's banned in multiple countries. If the fire alarms didn't work we also know that is unacceptable. Both of those may be opinions but they're pretty solid ones and steps we can address before the outcome of an investigation.
It is NOT banned in multiple countries. It's use is RESTRICTED. Even an 8 storey building in the US or Germany would have been destroyed in the same manner. The restrictions are based upon reach of the fire ladders, not it's flammability. Theoretically, the higher the reach of the fire ladders, the higher the floors it could be used.
