You know if you’re ever in a fire on a slope, you should head down, never up. The slope becomes like a chimney. Get below the fire because you’ll never outrun it.

People move on escalators one way when its moving. Fight or Flight , I genuinely think sadly on that day people acted died and also none of those poor souls have the benefit of hindsight that we do

I remember watching this programme on the TV about 30 years ago. Another good programme in this series is about the Bow Bell river boat that sank in the Thames in 1989 after colliding with another vessel.

The Marchioness boat that sank after hitting the dredger ‘ bow belle ‘ on the Thames in 1989. I think I’ve seen the program you are talking about. Very good account of a terrible event.

I was 5 I used Piccadilly line wooden escalators on day of fire a few hours before with my mum. We were home before fire began thank god. I recall it was busy and people smoking on escalator.

Always say a prayer when passing, nothing specific in religious terms but always words of remembering all affected.

A friend invited me up to London that night but I was unable to go. If I had gone I would have been in Kings Cross at the same time as the fire.

I never think twice about catching the tube but it’s far more dangerous than you think..

The science behind flame behaviour Is amazing. It explained what happened & why It happened. Otherwise Kings cross might not have maken any sense...

There are wooden slat escalators on the upper floors of Macy’s in NYC, but I don’t think there’s much chance of people smoking on them.

Really they are so rare now but I like the look of the old wooden ones but they obviously wouldn’t pass regulations unfortunately nowadays

BTW! Not a fire risk. No smoking allowed. The wood is a facade. There's metal underneath. See below, The world's largest department store installed its oak and ash wood escalators between 1920 and 1930. Over the years, they've been renovated for safety standards and mechanical updates. But while some have been fully modernized, the treads on most remain wooden.
