The consequences of tragic events

摘要

In humanitarian, social and engineering terms, the catalyst for profound change is often a catastrophe whose name is remembered for years to come. The Grenfell Tower fire in London (Figure 1) will become one such tragedy and the ramifications of the fire will resonate into the future. The heartfelt sympathy of everyone goes to the families and friends of the victims who died, those who were so grievously wounded, and those whose futures will have been so damaged.
