Oh yeah, the ladders were mostly a side-issue considering Grenfell Tower fire as a whole. I focused on them because this is an article about fire trucks navigating european city streets.
The main Grenfell story IMHO is about Arconic, Kingspan and Celotex obtaining fraudulent certifications saying their flammable cladding products weren't flammable, and a light-touch regulatory system letting them get away with it. And the TMO attempting a refurbishment where they only had budget for the flammable ACM - so anyone who bid on the work with safe materials was knocked out of the contest.
