Grenfell investigator supports call for fresh inquest into Stardust fire

One of the Grenfell fire investigators and other international experts have thrown their support behind calls by the Stardust fire families for fresh inquests into the deaths of their loved ones.

Professor Jose Torero, who also investigated the collapse of the Twin Towers, said there had been a "dramatic evolution" in the understanding of fires since the Stardust disaster and it should be revisited. "There is no doubt in my mind that the Stardust fire is worthy of a new analysis conducted by practitioners well versed in modern fire science, fire engineering and fire investigation techniques," he said.
