London fire survivors seeking damages

By Earle Gale in London | China Daily | Updated: 2019-06-12 07:28

Several survivors of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London and the relatives of some of the 72 residents who perished when the 24-floor building went up in flames are set to launch a legal action in the United States against three companies they blame for the disaster.

The BBC reported on Monday that more than 100 people are taking part in the lawsuit.

Other survivors, however, have refused to participate and are saying they fear the trial could distract from the ongoing public enquiry in the United Kingdom, from the British criminal investigation, and from the blame they want to attach to the local government that owns the now-derelict building: Kensington and Chelsea London Borough Council.
