…Расследование обстоятельств катастрофы выявило многочисленные нарушения, допущенные при строительстве (в том числе использование газет и жестяных банок вместо цемента в ключевых узлах), а также неактуальность строительного кодекса 1952 г., которым руководствовался застройщик. В совокупности это привело к существенным изменениям в строительном законодательстве включая принятие мер для предотвращения «непропорционального обрушения»: «Конструкция зданий должна препятствовать аварийному разрушению, непропорциональному причине аварии».
P.S. Впоследствии здание «Ронан-пойнт» было усовершенствовано и вновь заселено. Правда, в 1986 г. чиновники постановили его снести - решение оказалось своевременным, поскольку оно вряд ли выдержало был Великий шторм, обрушившийся на Великобританию в октябре 1987 г.
P.P.S. Любопытно, что хозяйка квартиры, в которой произошел взрыв, не пострадала. Не пострадала и газовая плита - переселившись в новую квартиру, хозяйка перевезла ее с собой…

…An investigation was immediately undertaken that identified multiple engineering and construction flaws (such as the use of newspapers and beer cans instead of concrete in some of the joineries) and called for amendments to the 1952 construction code the developer had abided by. Combined, these findings led to a significant overhaul of the building regulations including measures to counter "Disproportionate Collapse": "The building shall be constructed so that in the event of an accident the building will not suffer collapse to an extent disproportionate to the cause."
P.S. In subsequent years, the construction of the Ronan Point building was meticulously inspected and strengthened and its residents moved back in. However, in 1986, a decision was ultimately made to demolish the building altogether, which happened to be a timely move as Ronan Point would have hardly withstood the Great Storm of October, 1987.
P.P.S. It’s noteworthy that the resident of the faulty apartment was unharmed by the explosion. Neither was her gas stove, which was ultimately relocated to her new address…
