Surely that kind of number was expected, sadly? There were 120 flats in the building, the fire occurred at a time when most of them would have been asleep, the advice they'd been given was to stay in their flats in the case of fire, and by the time that advice was shown to be nonsensical, the fire had taken hold and people couldn't get out of the building.
