Disaster Reconstruction - London

Discovery

Available for over a year

The programme looks at how a gas explosion killed five people in Newham, east London. An entire corner of Ronan Point, a newly built block of flats in Newham, east London, came crashing down after a gas explosion demolished a load-bearing wall in 1968. Five people were killed. The building should not have collapsed in the way it did.
