Impatient... Why were they so quick to vastly underestimate the number of dead it 17? Is a better question, it was to avoid a bigger national outcry while the govt sorted out their grubby DUP deal!

I don't believe that for one minute frankly. There will of course be ways to identify bodies.

Far too many unaccounted for and estimates should be much higher. Not confirmed deaths, estimates

Will there be 'bodies' though? Except for the flats where the fire was put out faster i guess. I saw it claimed by a fireman that there were 3 tents full of 'bodies' but that could of course be bull. Have seen a few residents in facebook videos saying they saw bodies being brought out of the flats after dark too..as if they were trying to keep it on the quiet :S

They will be identifiable as human ...probably more so dead than alive.

There will be skulls and bone, identifiable as a body.

Sorry no money, we gave it all to the DUP.
'Councils face bills running to hundreds of millions of pounds to make tower blocks safe after the Government said it would not guarantee extra money to pay for vital work to prevent a repeat of the Grenfell disaster. Ninety-five high-rise buildings in 32 local authority areas have failed safety tests, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) said yesterday, with hundreds more blocks still to be tested. 'The findings prompted Theresa May to announce a “major national investigation” into the use of cladding on high-rise blocks, with every sample so far tested in the wake of the Grenfell found to be unsafe.' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7809216.html

How do you know there were 600 that seems a lot of people crammed into 120 one and two bed flats? Some elderly residents will be living alone, not every flat will have been occupied on the night either, if the council don't know how many were living there I don't know how anyone can know for sure how many were there on that night

It's been weeks, they know how many people are dead but they are withholding that information for their own benefit. |

An exact figure is unknown but it is a 24-storey tower block and there are thought to be around 24 people per floor. This would leave the total at around 600 (576) although authorities have no idea how many people were in their homes during the fire. Kensington and Chelsea Council leader Nick Paget-Brown suggested, ‘several hundred would have been in there. It’s a question of establishing how many people were in there at the time of the fire'' Read more: http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/14/where-...#ixzz4lIWbFZGn

Started what? cladding with combustable material or the regeneration project.... I wouldn't be so quick to latch on to that until there is conformation of how many towers are affected and when they were clad.

Ever the conspiracy theorist. No-one is saying there aren't many more victims. 80 or 800 - equally as serious and devastating. Why would anyone try to hush up the real figure. It makes no sense.

The estimate of 2 persons per flat per floor would be an over estimate in some properties and under in others surely?

If there were 600 people in the building you would have an average of 5 people in every flat

Grenfell included quite a few relatively big flats -3 bedrooms and even some 4-beds. Hence the large number of children. I guess (quite conservatively) the number of bedrooms must be over 300.
Here's a plan of just one floor edited to replace bad link
