There was no single cause of the tragic 24-story Grenfell Tower conflagration in London. The British newspaper The Telegraph lists eight factors, including lack of dual staircases, lack of sprinklers both outside and inside, and sub-standard fire doors—none of which at this time appear to have violated the law. But nothing contributed more to the sheer speed of the spread, blocking both exits and preventing rescues, and hence the horrific death toll, than what’s called “cladding.” That’s a covering or coating on the structure.

Fact is that asbestos or the lack thereof did not create the inferno.  This is the same mem that surrounded the collapse of the WTC.

Thats like saying Hydrogen didn't create the hindenburg inferno.    No but it sure as heck was a contributing factor.
