Grenfell Tower block disaster

Where is the police investigation? I would have expected some people to have been arrested by now.
Yep, a rushed police investigation is exactly what is needed now.

At least freedom of movement to be denied, for the CEO of the company renting out the flats, and the CEO of the company who were renovating them, as well as the CEO of the Cladding manufacturer.

They haven't recovered all the bodies yet, as the building isn't deemed safe (trains/tube past it are still suspended in case of collapse). I'm sure when the LFB declare it safe enough to work in/on, that an investigation will get going properly, and I'm sure that the prelim stages are already well in hand, by the LFB who will initially lead the investigation to find out what started the fire, and why it spread as it did.At least freedom of movement to be denied, for the CEO of the company renting out the flats, and the CEO of the company who were renovating them, as well as the CEO of the Cladding manufacturer.
There will be a full police "investigation" when its appropriate, and when evidence has been collected arrests will be made, if they are deemed necessary.

Insulation boards fitted to the outside of Grenfell Tower gave off highly toxic hydrogen cyanide gas which may have contributed to the deaths of some of the 79 confirmed victims.
Fire toxicity experts have told Sky News the insulation boards installed during a refurbishment of the tower produce the deadly gas when they burn, and their positioning meant every flat could have been filled with enough gas to kill those inside.
At least three of those injured in the fire have been treated with an antidote for hydrogen cyanide poisoning in hospital, and the number of those affected may be higher.
The gas could have incapacitated some residents, but establishing its role in the cause of death may be impossible because of the condition of the victims.
King's College Hospital confirmed to Sky News that three of the 12 patients it received from the fire were treated with the hydrogen cyanide antidote Cyanokit.
Four other hospital trusts declined to comment on the treatment administered to those injured in the fire.
An initial 68 patients were taken to six hospitals across London, with 18 receiving critical care and some put into induced comas to aid in the recovery of damaged airways.
As of Wednesday morning, 10 people were still being treated in four hospitals, six of them in critical care.

The insulation used at Grenfell Tower was made of Polyisocyanurate (PIR), rigid plastic foam sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium foil that supplied in 15cm-thick boards.
The PIR itself is flammable, but the aluminium foil is intended to disperse flames and prevent it catching fire.
The boards were fitted against the exterior wall of Grenfell Tower, behind the cladding that was installed to improve the appearance of the building.
Richard Hull, professor of chemistry and fire science at the University of Central Lancashire, told Sky News that the gas produced by the insulation when it burned may have been deadly.
"The outside wall of the building had 150mm of PIR foam (fitted), and once the fire had spread to that every flat would have its own source of PIR foam, which would have produced enough hydrogen cyanide to kill all the people in that flat," he said.

How is that fucking legal?Fire toxicity experts have told Sky News the insulation boards installed during a refurbishment of the tower produce the deadly gas when they burn, and their positioning meant every flat could have been filled with enough gas to kill those inside.
