Are you trying to tell me that a building constructed 50-60 years ago would stand up as well as one built now?

Go outside and have a word with yourself.

Look at the 4:00BST picture and tell me it didn't spread externally.

Footage has shown the fire spreading up one side of the building externally, before engulfing the entire block.
The initial internal fire had been put out successfully. Before the renovations the exterior would have been bare concrete. Not known for being that flammable. Where did the "toxic smoke" come from but the insulation and to a lesser degree the cladding.
