'I've seen a lot of fucking fires, I remarked'... HOW? WHERE? You were sitting in an office answering calls.
I called my dad... 'building plans in hand, to howl about the rapid spread of fire, to ask about building regulations' WTF?
'I called a scientist, an architect, several firefighters and a lawyer'. Who delegated this responsibility to Jack, and why was she doing this instead of helping people, you know, the 600 families she was there to help? (this one makes me really angry)
'Between us we hold decades of service, encyclopaedias of chemical information, forensic knowledge of building structures and escape routes'. Reader, this statement is in no way meant to patronise or belittle
anyone who works as a call-handler, but she was a fucking call-handler. Surely anyone with any type of knowledge would say, ON THE VERY FUCKING MORNING AFTER THIS ATROCITY HAPPENED 'Jack, it's far too soon to say what's going on. Leave it to those in the know to work on it and if you need to share my details, I'll be happy to support if they need someone in my field'. End of.
‘I pair 200 pairs of shoes… A young girl asks where it will all go… There aren’t enough people to make use of all the donations, I think, and the realisation strangles me slowly.’
My mind is blown at her posting a photo of herself in an ill-fitting fireman's uniform as part of this article. Talk about ideas above her station.
How egotistical can one person be? There's so much more one could say on this, but what's the fucking point? She mentions ghouls in her piece, but the only ghoul I can identify is her.
