Having just finished watching the last episode of James Nesbitt's Disasters that Changed Britain series, that really hits home. In all the cases covered (Zeebrugge ferry disaster, Kings Cross fire, Paddington rail crash, Piper Alpha, the Munich air crash, Grenfell Tower) there had been many near misses, and in some cases fatalities, but none of the safety precautions that the experts were begging for were implemented, usually due to cost or because it would cause too much disruption.
Unfortunately it seems like a person has to die before things are willingly changed.
Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
