01:12:55 no mr. Murray turning firstly to the background we've heard evidence from your ex-wife miss Rasheeda early this morning and she's told the chairman that as of June 2017 you are living in flat one two five on the 15th floor of Granville Tower with her and your

01:13:07 Granville Tower with her and your daughter is that correct he's correct now mr. Lee has given evidence already about the condition of the flat this morning I'm not going to go over the same detail that she's given true

01:13:20 same detail that she's given true however I do have a few additional questions for you that I want to explore before we turn to the events of the 14th of June 2017 sure now firstly can the

01:13:31 of June 2017 sure now firstly can the witness be shown inq 93 this is a photo of taken by one of the inquiries experts after the fire of a sign that was in

01:13:43 after the fire of a sign that was in Granville towers have you seen the sign before yes I did and where did you see the sign it was by the lift the 15th in

01:13:54 the sign it was by the lift the 15th in my floor 15 floor and it was in ground floor and on the ground floor yes you did

01:14:00 did did you see that sign anywhere else in the town no when did you first see this sign it was I remember exactly the time when they finished the refurbishment and

01:14:12 when they finished the refurbishment and afterward about a few months after they they put the sign which is I noticed when I was coming up from the lift and I remember that day my daughter she was with me and I said to her look they put

01:14:23 with me and I said to her look they put it was something on the lift because the Nifty still broke all the time so when they take over that I noticed a sign do you remember what year this was it was 2017 2017 and do you

01:14:36 this was it was 2017 2017 and do you remember how long before the fire you saw it no I don't sorry when you saw the sign what did you understand it to me it's fire safety measurement but the

01:14:50 it's fire safety measurement but the hand standing is it's for the safety of yourself if you see if you notice in your file smoke stay it's a stable policy basically what do you understand that to mean for me I don't have any

01:15:04 that to mean for me I don't have any understanding for that because I never happy with it because I had a causes with one I used to be a management I used to be managing incense base so I had all of course is regarding safety and the building safety so I was always against it because I

01:15:18 so I was always against it because I haven't haven't insensibly lab our local sense village it was about 11 o'clock in morning can we have the smoke from from the ground floor so I just get the

01:15:30 the ground floor so I just get the people out and these were I study for so I get all the customer out in the building regulation is different that's I'm trying to say I don't really believe in the policy I never apply it to be

01:15:42 in the policy I never apply it to be sure to be shop semester money you've told us several things if I can just break that down somewhat you've mentioned that you had training as a manager it's a insurance in that training what were you advised to do the

01:15:54 training what were you advised to do the advice in our training in our courses the advice is to make sure the customers they are saved and evacuate and after that the second stage is to evacuate all the staff members and make sure make

01:16:06 the staff members and make sure make sure you're called emergency on the square and you've got we've got a point when you get you check all the stuff we do members and the book and safety measure so you go there and you contact

01:16:17 measure so you go there and you contact your emergency fire services right so your understanding through workers if there was a fire you sure exactly yes indeed that's that's a business recognition and you've mentioned that

01:16:28 recognition and you've mentioned that there was a previous fire weather smoke scene on the ground floor yes he needed it wasn't a fire there was a smoky was a gas related to a fridges has blew up and he

01:16:38 he created a smoke and that's the reason why we have evacuated about ten o'clock 811 okay just so that we're clear mr.

01:16:49 811 okay just so that we're clear mr. money was that smoke that was seen at your premises at work I work yes indeed I work okay and that's an occasion when you just to give you an example okay I

01:17:00 you just to give you an example okay I understand that's quickly enough and in relation to what you understood it grateful Tower did you understand that from this sign that was different advice for you indeed yes it's different and

01:17:12 for you indeed yes it's different and when did you understand that you were meant to stay put from this sign the incentive is for me my action is if anything happened I need to run that's what this is my answer to be clear so I

01:17:25 what this is my answer to be clear so I don't I never applied that policy I never talked about it I never I never give attention to it so just so that we're clear you are aware of this policy

01:17:37 we're clear you are aware of this policy but you didn't intend to follow me you know right and that's what were your understanding was a solution 2017 yes thank you that's very clear mr. money now within your flat 1/125

01:17:50 now within your flat 1/125 is it correct that you had smoke smoke alarms yes indeed and do you know if they were working yes how did you know

01:18:02 they were working yes how did you know that they were working I remember he was a Saturday around two o'clock I was at home and someone nicked the door I think

01:18:14 home and someone nicked the door I think I believe I happened at all and a gentleman come in he said I'm here to to test them to for the fire detector my wife or my daughter was there and we

01:18:28 wife or my daughter was there and we haven't we haven't we haven't had conversation honestly we didn't we didn't even his hairs as I talk he's a usual check-in and so I did why he checked it and then you were out no you

01:18:42 checked it and then you were out no you said this was Saturday which Saturday it was a Saturday the fire happened on Wednesday a 40 and the Saturday it we it means he's three days before okay so Saturday before the fire yes

01:18:53 okay so Saturday before the fire yes indeed and the man that came to the door did he say who he was working for no and you said that he checked their alarms

01:19:04 you said that he checked their alarms which alarm did he check your was that Quarryville so at the corridor Cory bought you did he check any other alarms no did he ask you to sign anything no and did it give you any other advice

01:19:17 and did it give you any other advice about what to do in a fire yeah yep now I'd like to turn to the events of the night of 13 and 14 June now if I can

01:19:28 night of 13 and 14 June now if I can take you to page 3 of your statement and that's paragraph 15 now you've said in this paragraph that in the run-up to the

01:19:39 this paragraph that in the run-up to the 14th of June you were very unwell at the time of the fire yes indeed and your illness was aggravated to this you have emphysema yes you did that's great so you weren't very well and yes and because of that

01:19:51 very well and yes and because of that you were sleeping in another room from mr. Ali and your daughter and this is at paragraph 19 of your statements is that correct yes she's quite now in the Knights of 13th to 14th June is that

01:20:03 Knights of 13th to 14th June is that correct the Masonic came to wake you up and tell you that she'd smell smoke yes she did and what was your reaction when she told you that I remember that day yesterday it's nothing to worry

01:20:14 day yesterday it's nothing to worry about

01:20:14 about maybe ladies had been most casual days you don't need to worry Buster that's my word did you smell any smoke at that statement and did you look out the

01:20:26 statement and did you look out the window and she first woke you now if we can turn to page four paragraph 20 of your statements

01:20:39 in this paragraph you said that sunny Rasheeda told you that she was going to check and she left the bedroom you heard her work walking to the front door and walking out to code on then

01:20:51 door and walking out to code on then she's come back and told you that someone else's reported there was a fire to her is that your that's your recollection of that conversation is that right she said if I can remember to be precise

01:21:03 she said if I can remember to be precise what she said she found three three or two ladies on the stairs and she said he was talking about smoke and she was really worried I concerned that's when

01:21:17 really worried I concerned that's when she come back to me and then I think I believe she's on she said we need to there is something wrong with the building Whitaker heart I said to her

01:21:29 building Whitaker heart I said to her I'm not going nowhere that's my answer you want the whole thing who do you want you have another question just your recollection of my Yeshua and she say I

01:21:43 recollection of my Yeshua and she say I know you will go and come back I can't the word I said the first word I said I can't go nowhere I'm not going nowhere and I was tired I was exhausted

01:21:54 nowhere and I was tired I was exhausted she said I help you I call you I said I can't not I cannot even walk that's I think if I'm to be sure that my word exact where it does what I said and she

01:22:05 exact where it does what I said and she said I'm taking my daughter with me I said I know you will go and come back there's nothing wrong no mustard money

01:22:16 there's nothing wrong no mustard money at that point why did you refuse to go with the Miceli I was I was very ill I never been in love with that and is kind of very tired very exhausted was a

01:22:28 of very tired very exhausted was a sweating law and the fina cold and very hot I was very confusion in my mind I didn't thought I didn't thought it would be the situation I know my wife she's

01:22:41 be the situation I know my wife she's always telling me things she feel things and I was ignored I I I know that but in that moment I was really really exhausted I was really really a I think even walk to to the

01:22:54 really a I think even walk to to the bathroom she happily to go to bathroom and I didn't even believe there is something going on outside so in my mind you know we are safe so that's why my

01:23:06 you know we are safe so that's why my response to hers I know you go in and come back and I stayed behind when you stayed behind and she first left did you notice then at any point the smell of

01:23:18 notice then at any point the smell of smoke no I didn't I didn't and did you notice and did you look out the window on that occasion know what

01:23:41 and just I was knocked away and did you stay asleep yeah I was sleeping I went back to sleep now

01:23:47 at paragraph 21 is the following paragraph

01:23:55 you say that you were woken up from your sleep yeah you believe this is fear from hearing a popping sound at the window and it's then that you opened eyes and you stood up how long do you believe

01:24:07 you stood up how long do you believe that you're sleeping for to be honest with you I haven't got timing but I feels to me it's like you were so long because when I wake up I was like you

01:24:19 because when I wake up I was like you know when you wake up sometimes you feel like you slept so long and before you sleepy you have a conversation we had in your mind that morning we copy get surprised and when I wake up I I talk

01:24:31 surprised and when I wake up I I talk and I believe that sound from outside wake me up creepy not will be that sound but that moment I was quite surprised when I wake up so when I wake up I stood

01:24:42 when I wake up so when I wake up I stood up when I stood up I looked behind me because the the where I was sleeping is the window behind my head so I woke up and I looked at through the window that's the moment how loud was that

01:24:57 that's the moment how loud was that sounds the popping sound that you could hear he wasn't very loud it wasn't very loud but you can hear he is not something you can not hear properly but you can't hear he does does get your

01:25:10 you can't hear he does does get your attention the sound okay and you said and was the sound coming from the window then yes indeed you also described later on with that paragraph that I could hear

01:25:22 on with that paragraph that I could hear a sound of crackling yes you did was that a separate sound from the popping the crockery is the public is the same is the same is the same thing it's the same same solid and could you

01:25:34 it's the same same solid and could you tell what was making the sound then the popping and crackling sound in that moment I didn't this I didn't I think I couldn't find out I can describe it with myself

01:25:44 myself and so when I looked at my window I saw I saw like a smoke outside and I saw a flame underneath not an in the Nev of my window is like going from the right side

01:25:56 window is like going from the right side the right side of the building then going like the smoke goes going up and you can see the reflection of the flame that's exactly what I did salt so

01:26:10 that's exactly what I did salt so breaking that down you've mentioned the smoke and seeing a reflection of the frame

01:26:13 frame could you see exactly where the smoke was coming from it was the right side right so yeah but could you see the source of the smoke or could you only see the smoke the souls I can see it okay and the reflection of the flames

01:26:26 okay and the reflection of the flames where did you see that reflection exactly going to the the middle of the building so I mean 15 flow going underneath of 14 14 I'm not sure but it was just you know a moment for me I

01:26:39 was just you know a moment for me I didn't focus I didn't stay there it was just a moment for me when I saw that and then I just come back to myself and went through went out for my my room because

01:26:50 through went out for my my room because that moment my wife and my goal didn't up there so to us that's the moment for me that's the moment where I was little bit lost from my room I went out I want

01:27:06 bit lost from my room I went out I want to deliver room I want you out the window and I saw I hope in the window just pull it up pull it the reporter window and I saw the same thing but not

01:27:17 window and I saw the same thing but not exactly in the same situation with the small or the fire like the middle and middle room but is the same direction coming from the same direction but it was a further window that you're

01:27:29 but it was a further window that you're looking at listened if if the witness can be shown I WS 3 page 16

01:28:03 it's iws 7 series 3 page 16

01:28:20 right now this is a floor plan of your flat one to five 125 you could see at

01:28:31 flat one to five 125 you could see at the far end what appears to be a bedroom and the other they'll be two bedrooms at the end and then the sitting room is that correct yes can you indicate which room you are in when you woke up you

01:28:43 room you are in when you woke up you want to be - yes if you jeez the middle room I will sleep in here and is that

01:28:55 room I will sleep in here and is that right window view that's the window you first looked out of though you've described going to the living room and looking out of another window which window did you go to then I went out from this ball through the quarry Hall

01:29:06 from this ball through the quarry Hall distorted the other sitting room and I went to this window so for the record the witness was indicating the living room window next to the second bedroom yes

01:29:22 receipt business ceremony was the bedroom window open when you looked out of it my bed my where I was sleeping yeah it was my wife she opened up she opened the window I was any smoke coming

01:29:35 opened the window I was any smoke coming in - no I haven't notice any smoke okay and the next window that you looked out of the living room window was that open window yes if I believe it was quite a little bit open I believe so yeah I

01:29:47 little bit open I believe so yeah I can't remember exact but I think it was open it wasn't hard for me to open it again did you notice any size no he wasn't smoke no

01:30:00 from the living-room window if we can take you to page five of your statement paragraph 24 yeah sure

01:30:14 he said after checking the living room windows and bedroom windows you then went to the main door I opened the door I would estimate that from waking to opening the front door was not more than five minutes no more than that and I

01:30:27 five minutes no more than that and I could not believe what was happening it was pitch black outside of the dark smoke out there on this occasion do you know when you open the front door before

01:30:38 know when you open the front door before you open the front door rather did you see any signs of smoke coming into the flat before I opened the door I wanted to other bedroom was my wife and my daughter sleeping yeah and it was the

01:30:49 daughter sleeping yeah and it was the same situation what was in the middle and from that room I went to the front room and in that when you moved within

01:31:00 room and in that when you moved within the flat were there any signs of smoke it wasn't and when you got to the front door before you open the front door did you see any signs of smoke coming in no he wasn't no in this section you've then

01:31:12 he wasn't no in this section you've then described you've opened the front door and you've seen this moment yes you did how thick was that smoke that you saw it was very thick I could you see how far

01:31:23 was very thick I could you see how far through it could you see in front of you you cannot see it's impossible could you see if the lights and the communal Lobby was on at all he can is I can notice no

01:31:38 was on at all he can is I can notice no I don't think I notice in your luck but I believe it was like kind of reflection of lighting but it was in darkness if I put it this way it wasn't partners it

01:31:50 put it this way it wasn't partners it was that the smoke was making make it thick that the way I always thick but he wasn't that darkness by oh no see but me could be from lightening like reflection

01:32:02 could be from lightening like reflection of light but I can notice I couldn't notice just so we clear could you you said there could be a reflection of a light yes could you see any light no and did

01:32:17 yes could you see any light no and did this from the ceiling to the floor was there how far down could you see the smoke

01:32:22 smoke oh you a that all the way down to there could you see where the smoke was coming from at all not at all you've described

01:32:33 from at all not at all you've described the smoke as having a strange smell this is the next line of this paragraph in front of it was a strange smell it was nothing like I had smoked before there was a complex smell with a lot of

01:32:44 was a complex smell with a lot of different smells in it and I cannot describe it it was confusing it wasn't the same as a burning smell are you able to expand I can see that you've said

01:32:55 to expand I can see that you've said that you aren't able to describe it be able to expand at all on what that smell was I don't know how to describe it well I describe it one who was young who used

01:33:10 I describe it one who was young who used to be very naughty you know playing around and learning style and creating stuff creating things and I know what burns things looks like so to describe

01:33:23 burns things looks like so to describe this one here I never seen something like that before to describe that smoke how he was I can't describe it because it doesn't universe I never see I never see it I never come across it it was very strong

01:33:37 never come across it it was very strong very thick

01:33:42 and when you first looked out into lobby did that smoke have any physical effect on you yes indeed what effect was that it was yeah I think words I couldn't I

01:33:53 it was yeah I think words I couldn't I can hold my breath and I was very weak but when I went through that process his chest seems to me like I spent the longest time in my life in that time

01:34:06 longest time in my life in that time that's exactly how effect and every time I remember to trigger something in my more memory I always had that feeling like I spent many hours in that building

01:34:20 like I spent many hours in that building especially in that moment because I couldn't see nothing but how long do you think you actually spent holding the door open at that time I was walking

01:34:31 door open at that time I was walking through the smoke he was it was slow carefully he was in a normal walking you walk carefully that's how I was I

01:34:43 walk carefully that's how I was I walking very careful I was I'm walking that's the way I described it well mister can I take you to if I can take

01:34:55 mister can I take you to if I can take you back to paragraph 21 of your statement

01:35:01 statement sorry 25 of your statements and 26 that's on page six I was it's the next page

01:35:13 you said that you stood there fro I was standing there I was frozen for a little bit thinking what to do and I think this is after you've said actually that you

01:35:25 is after you've said actually that you shut the door again and you've left a paragraph 26 you say I left the flat I closed the door behind me and I remember that although it wasn't a particularly conscious decision and the smoke was

01:35:38 conscious decision and the smoke was heavy thick black the smoke was everywhere is that right so there's that the time that you then walked out the finesse indeed what influenced your decision to leave immediately at this

01:35:50 decision to leave immediately at this time you're talking about the lobby we're talking about the inside before the table when you're inside the flap yes laughter yeah I don't need to

01:36:05 yes laughter yeah I don't need to confuse I'll take a back on stage as you said you've opened the front yes you need he said you were standing there frozen for a little bit thinking what to do yeah and then you've decided take you back to paragraph 25 you said there's a

01:36:16 back to paragraph 25 you said there's a cupboard in the hallway and you put on jeans your tracksuit bottoms yeah and so you got dressed yes indeed and he said like other than what I was wearing I did

01:36:29 like other than what I was wearing I did not take anything from the flat I could not think what to do exactly I thought to myself either you leave or you stay I thought if I stayed I would die it did not occur to me is that to use the phone or to stay put none of this came to my

01:36:41 or to stay put none of this came to my mind my instinct was to go yes my questions is what influenced you then deciding to decide to leave the flat my

01:36:52 deciding to decide to leave the flat my mind it was completely completely stopped my brain my top yours

01:37:02 like you don't know what to do at the moment I don't know what to do not nothing has come in my talk nothing is like nothing all this what we have in

01:37:15 is like nothing all this what we have in our policies or regulation nothing nothing in that kind of stuff in my mind I never met him before that moment what I saw when I closed the door back in

01:37:26 I saw when I closed the door back in that warm that particular moment I was standing there talking all my life when I got panic I talked I talked to myself loudly not inside is loudly what to do

01:37:39 loudly not inside is loudly what to do should I go should I stay that's what I did when I got panic by in that moment nothing comes like planning or look at

01:37:50 nothing comes like planning or look at things like many people's maybe different than me but me in that moment I was completely lost I was completely lost the only solution I have to take is

01:38:01 lost the only solution I have to take is together the only solution I never have even I didn't talk about phones or I know my daughter and my wife died out that's the most important part for me

01:38:14 that's the most important part for me they not dead my daughter she not seen a smoke she knows she's not going through one going through my wife she's not there that's the most important part for me but for myself when I panic I always

01:38:29 me but for myself when I panic I always get stuck I always got stuck on that occasion you know I did it okay and you left the flat straightaway

01:38:40 okay and you left the flat straightaway yes indeed so between waking up and leaving the flat how much time do you think had passed altogether as I said to you he said to me my feeling I've been almost

01:38:51 said to me my feeling I've been almost not so high off faith even when I was sleeping I feel like I still met it's long hours and given when I was going out he's that deep feeling like he been so long here and if I give you the

01:39:04 so long here and if I give you the average of the timing I would say about 10 minutes maybe ten five back I'll give you the correct I'm just estimation of the timing but the time I went to the

01:39:17 the timing but the time I went to the living room and come back to the room I don't know where I was I was very ill I was very weak my talk did not clear but Anita hit me a lot is when I looked at

01:39:30 Anita hit me a lot is when I looked at the window and the second part is when I opened the door that when I opened the DA that part which make me lost make me like no way this is it's not way another

01:39:44 like no way this is it's not way another thought about that I never and to be honest with you I never lived in high-rise towers all my life even with my own families always we always keep in our self ground but I never thought it's

01:39:57 our self ground but I never thought it's going to be to be like that take you back to the lobby it on this night you said that you've stepped out into the communal lobby then it's still full of

01:40:09 communal lobby then it's still full of smoke is that right at that time could you hear any sounds no and how did you

01:40:21 you hear any sounds no and how did you find your way to the stairs you wanted me to describe the walking up yes facial the one I was walking I used my hand and before the smoke before the

01:40:36 my hand and before the smoke before the fire I know where's the stairway I know where is the lift I know where's the neighbor so would me I know what I'm going so even if I was blind I know I'm

01:40:47 going so even if I was blind I know I'm going so I just used my hand just in case if I get something in my in my way to touch something him on my way so I was doing I using my hand out of me I was walking I don't know what I'm going

01:41:00 was walking I don't know what I'm going by my mind I know where's at all so just walking I thought if I go wrong who I will find I would find the exit door so that's exactly what happened I found the

01:41:12 that's exactly what happened I found the exit door and then I pushed it so was the exit door shut when you he was shot yes and when you pushed it open

01:41:23 was it more difficult to open than you just quite heavy it's heavy door because I used it many times before is it normally a heavy door have you do I was

01:41:36 normally a heavy door have you do I was a smoke the same consistency throughout the communal lobby when you left out of these towers in inside the communal lobby when you went from your flat go to the stable yes was a smoke the same

01:41:47 the stable yes was a smoke the same genius and when you reach the stairwell door you said you've pushed it open what were the conditions like in the stairs at that time much better much better much better much better

01:42:00 much better much better was there any smoke in the stairs he wasn't that smoke for if if if you all want me to describe it just just - yes please

01:42:10 please it's like because I do I can't describe it it's like is that foggy not for his

01:42:23 it it's like is that foggy not for his like smoke he wasn't that heavy it was like flowing around but he wasn't that heavy he's not he's not affected smoke that's how I described it this is the smoke in the stairwell that's the same

01:42:34 smoke in the stairwell that's the same voice yeah and what color was that smoke it was what it was what no for the record you made a gesture circular send us up your head as the smoke high up yes

01:42:45 us up your head as the smoke high up yes - PA and huh was that near the ceiling of the cell oh come on but he's he's quite hot it's quite high it's not it's not it's not like everywhere but you can't you see like I see some smoke

01:42:57 can't you see like I see some smoke I was it spread out evenly within the stairs or was it collecting in one particular area that says what a worried call one I start to go down bit by bit the smoke he was little bit more it was a bit more than up I don't know why

01:43:10 a bit more than up I don't know why somehow but that's why I notice okay when did you notice the smoke getting a bit more that's when I was going to a car number what exactly the area but

01:43:21 car number what exactly the area but when I was going down I noticed and as you are going down did you notice of any of the doors from other lobbies were open

01:43:29 open No wasn't now if I can take you to page seven of your statement paragraph 30 no

01:43:44 seven of your statement paragraph 30 no you've said in that statement as you've just told the inquiry that the smoke was not quite this is the fifth line down the smoke was not quite as thick inside the stairwell was not quite so heavy so

01:43:58 the stairwell was not quite so heavy so take it to a further line down say the stairwell was very hot and smelling of burning as if plastic was burning is that the small that you could smell this indeed yeah it was smelly plastics may

01:44:09 indeed yeah it was smelly plastics may smell like ass plastic burning it's true that's quite a specific description to the description of smoke in the communal lobby yeah did they have a different smell definitely not the same at all and

01:44:25 smell definitely not the same at all and you described there as well that the stairwell was very hot you were hot in our faith hot and that's why I would feel it when when I were in it was very warm even-handed my feet I

01:44:39 it was very warm even-handed my feet I feel because I wasn't wearing shoes I feel that so so that's why I said it and was it hot this from when you first enter the stairs did you feel that same

01:44:50 enter the stairs did you feel that same temperature that same intensity of the heat he was yeah it was quite safe it was quite safe maybe more maybe less bodies were quite safe no no not that different

01:45:00 different not much you've described as you went down the stairs the smoke got thicker got if you feel the difference in the temperature no I didn't didn't didn't cross my mind I didn't because I started as I got in I

01:45:14 I didn't because I started as I got in I was really exhausted as well so I wasn't about focusing details but I just got that the first feeling but the rest of it to be honest with you if you ask me now if I go back there's a lot of things

01:45:27 now if I go back there's a lot of things maybe I didn't see there's a lot of things maybe I didn't noticed but I'm giving you what the first my eyes got into

01:45:36 into that's why I can give you know you've just told us just that you started getting and you didn't quite finish a sentence where you your feelings various hours I never forgot that I was very

01:45:48 hours I never forgot that I was very very closeted I couldn't even walk properly I was like unbalanced if I if you want me to describe that my balance it wasn't it wasn't normal the way I was walking it wasn't normal

01:46:00 the way I was walking it wasn't normal why was your balance not normal at all help I was very in I was very very end I mean I was walking like I looked up and going toss that's how I was feeling that

01:46:12 going toss that's how I was feeling that moment no did the smoke at any point also have any effect on you as well or

01:46:23 also have any effect on you as well or was it only your illness to be honest with you I'm not sure because you know the time I was in and I think I I've got already a smoke in my chest and already

01:46:36 already a smoke in my chest and already of course of course ends so I'm not sure that smoke did affect me more or not but I was pretty pretty if I was well and

01:46:47 I was pretty pretty if I was well and faith maybe I will tell you two different they're different things now but my aim is I cannot confirm the smoke affected me badly or does it because

01:47:00 affected me badly or does it because there is no conclusion on that

01:47:06 now if I could take you to paragraph 32 which is on page 8 of your statement

01:47:20 you see I got down to the ninth floor I found a disabled man my hair Coderre you described that he was a person that was known to you yes indeed in this paragraph you've described helping him

01:47:32 paragraph you've described helping him going down the stairs yes indeed you've just told us just now that you already had difficulty going down the stairs before you met him did you have difficulty walking I'm helping him down

01:47:43 difficulty walking I'm helping him down the stairs as well sir and how did you manage to go down the stairs of them to be honest with you if you want me to describe that moment which is he was was very difficult

01:47:55 which is he was was very difficult moment for me and for him I found him on the stairs holding the hand with and it was almost like you know hanging it's

01:48:07 was almost like you know hanging it's not even standing and it was I remember I saw was the clutches in his hand I can't carry him I couldn't carry him I

01:48:19 can't carry him I couldn't carry him I just put my hand around him and I knew I said to him in Arabic I want me to describe it to you in Arabic white coin in English and if you can give it in English in English okay so I say to him

01:48:32 English in English okay so I say to him we're going I'm gonna go together down that's the only word he was in mind he come up for my my mind we were bit down I was going down when we reach whenever

01:48:46 I was going down when we reach whenever which I think tell for central I'm not sure and I said to him I need to get and if you get hurt so stay here there's somebody for me they come back to you he

01:48:59 somebody for me they come back to you he said no worries in Arabic go so I want I want to treat stairs to the lobby and I saw formally his family down having

01:49:13 saw formally his family down having having a conversation with five fighters ok if I can just take you back a little bit in that account you've said firstly

01:49:25 bit in that account you've said firstly that you've met him at the 9th floor how did you notice the mindful just mention mine floor because he's the way I was going down so I feel like I walk down quite a lot from 15 so it

01:49:38 I walk down quite a lot from 15 so it was a coincidence what I wasn't that sure I just mentioned nine because later on I found out my lives in nine flow so I told myself might be I found him in nine flow so I have to mention it to

01:49:49 nine flow so I have to mention it to describe where is I thought maybe I found him in that flow so I have to describe it the way how he is let's first say that you're not sure I wasn't sure okay and when you were walking down the

01:50:02 and when you were walking down the stairs with him how exactly did you support each other down the stairs I was I put my hand to I put my hand under his shoulder and then I hold the left I hold

01:50:15 shoulder and then I hold the left I hold him in his hand left hand and we won't slow very slow he wasn't having it was very difficult for him I was panicking he was panicking I was lost he was I think he was in a situation maybe he

01:50:27 think he was in a situation maybe he could be worse than me he's got he's got a permanent disability so me I've got ends a temporary one so maybe he was like it wasn't a very sensitive

01:50:40 like it wasn't a very sensitive situation for him do you remember anyone going past you on the stairs for new earth mr. Cadell sorry ii do you remember anybody overtaking yeah yeah I believe that is yeah I believe

01:50:53 yeah I believe that is yeah I believe there is people went through through the stairs yeah how many people do you remember there's one I will never forget you he went down like a wind it was exactly like a wind I can't describe

01:51:08 exactly like a wind I can't describe yeah I can't describe I can't describe him I haven't bought what I feel like even what maybe in my left side but it

01:51:20 even what maybe in my left side but it was like a wind it was powerful run very powerful Ronnie I was surprised was there anybody else that went past I believe so the idea I think there's a

01:51:31 believe so the idea I think there's a couple of people um I'm not sure but I think I believe yeah there is a couple of people I wasn't focusing the march on details but I had a feeling like that is

01:51:43 details but I had a feeling like that is people went out bar was focusing what in my situation is and that's the focus the biggest focus elf is the problem RV now my problem and his problem so I wasn't that focused

01:51:55 his problem so I wasn't that focused around me what's going on really now you said that you've left him you told us that you've left him on the

01:52:06 you told us that you've left him on the second or third floor and that's when you went ahead just before we come to that point if I can refer you on page nine to paragraph 34 of your statement yeah sure you said when we got to level

01:52:20 yeah sure you said when we got to level four I noticed the fire door from the stairwell to the lobby was wide open and that was also the case at levels three and two and on these three floors for three and two you think that you're not

01:52:32 three and two you think that you're not sure there was water on the floor do you still recall this as the stairwell door being open there was yes and did you continue past that door yes indeed and do you remember what was holding

01:52:43 and do you remember what was holding that door open he was a host there was a hostess yeah and do you know how far opened that door was he was wide open wide open wide open all the way open all

01:52:55 wide open wide open all the way open all the way to the wall okay and how was the hose holding that it was it was I think I believe you from not going to make mistake in here because I believe

01:53:06 mistake in here because I believe there's the host about to about to and there was in the middle of between the between the frame of the door so there

01:53:18 between the frame of the door so there was two hoses yes side-by-side yeah in the frame of the door yes something that right yes victim and this was on the fourth floor did you see any smoke at that floor I haven't I

01:53:30 any smoke at that floor I haven't I haven't noticed any I haven't noticed any smoke basically just give me that question I haven't noticed that I didn't I don't I don't believe ie I don't believe I see any smoke and was this the

01:53:43 believe I see any smoke and was this the first door to lobby that you saw open the first thought of the lobby I saw open now going to the next level you've mentioned this also at levels 3 & 2 do

01:53:54 mentioned this also at levels 3 & 2 do you I

01:53:54 you I clear in your mind that there was two more daughters there I'll open after this fourth floor here you was I think I found the firefighters I'm not sure I find the mat in one second floor I think

01:54:07 find the mat in one second floor I think it was three or two firefighters that hadn't they were sitting I think he was sitting in the floor and I just got Boston where exactly did you see this

01:54:20 Boston where exactly did you see this five I think he wasn't dead for if I'm not mistaken awful I think it was still fool yeah I'm not that sure honestly to give you that final answer to that but definitely there was firefighter des did

01:54:32 definitely there was firefighter des did not end up in the place where they sitting in the stairs he was owned the door was open and he was sitting by the door not inside the lobby is the holy way the small one that's what you were

01:54:45 way the small one that's what you were sitting okay so next yes indeed no you said on your statements are that they had masks on is that right I think yeah I think they were marks if the masks I

01:55:43 I left him that but definitely I'm not sure you were fearless with me but I have a feeling it wasn't with me at that moment that's why I won't try to say haven't think it wasn't that moment he wasn't with me and did you find anybody

02:12:57 now to explain this as a CCTV still with an adjuster time of 1 34 22 on the 14th of June

02:13:06 of June now the person that's shown in the picture you can't see their head unfortunately but do you recognize their the clothing of the person that's shown in the picture I haven't seen in this

02:13:18 in the picture I haven't seen in this picture before and I was quite surprised I was really shocked honestly and I thought of myself how come I forget that moment I found a lady by the door when I

02:13:33 moment I found a lady by the door when I was getting out from stairs and she was she was I think a little bit wet it was water in her face and she was shaking

02:13:45 water in her face and she was shaking and she saw me the de mazing thing about this moment when she saw me I was myself I was out like walking like that and she

02:13:56 I was out like walking like that and she groped me in a way and I hold her as well in a way like she was worried but she was worried more for me that's why when I saw that picture and in my

02:14:09 when I saw that picture and in my statement I didn't mention that and I totally totally forget that moment that's why I was shocked when I saw it when I was in tears because that morning

02:14:21 when I was in tears because that morning the lady coming out would me it was very important moment but afterward when I was thinking and you know going through my mind that moment I was exhausted and

02:14:33 my mind that moment I was exhausted and I left a man behind me thinking how I can get help so I was myself was focused in one thing my brain capacity doesn't take more than that in that moment so

02:14:45 take more than that in that moment so she walked with me and then she walked down the stairs with me it was I hope I'm gonna be her in future because what she did even she was panicking the way

02:14:56 she did even she was panicking the way she's the way out she grabbed me he was very touching and it was very I don't know how to thank her and going down the stairs just my head is get hacked

02:15:08 my head is get hacked the snus in my talk at Mannion did you only remember that insert when you saw one I saw the picture yet when I saw the picture if you can also be shown inq

02:15:19 picture if you can also be shown inq five zeros for 8 - so before we actually show inq four five zeros for 8 - you've given us I apologize mr. trudeau so if

02:15:31 given us I apologize mr. trudeau so if you can go back to iron q50 is for 8 1 I believe us mr. money my question had actually been if you had recognized the

02:15:42 actually been if you had recognized the person or the clothing in that picture and I know it's obviously triggered a memory for you which you've explained for the inquiry today but just as a

02:15:53 for the inquiry today but just as a matter of record do you recognize who is the person depicted in them no no I don't know who or she well there's two people shown in

02:16:04 or she well there's two people shown in the picture yeah that's me yes sorry it was that question sorry I'm confusing all the time I could have been more

02:16:15 all the time I could have been more specifically mr. money so you recognized one of the people in the picture and not that yes indeed yeah and if we can now see inq five zeros for eight - this is a

02:16:27 see inq five zeros for eight - this is a picture taken with an adjusted time of 13424 seconds this is shortly after the first picture that we've just seen which was at 1:30 for 22 seconds and again do

02:16:39 was at 1:30 for 22 seconds and again do you recognize the two people in that picture yes that's one that was me on the left and the lady and if you look at the details how she was holding me that's that's why I was talking before

02:16:50 that's that's why I was talking before he show me this is the way how she was holding me coming down and I found a hand that though there and then we went together and she rolled me like it's like you know her son father it's the

02:17:03 like you know her son father it's the way how I feel and I just triggered my memory when I saw the picture it was it was quite touching mr. Lee you've just gestured to the screen in front of you said you found her at that door there do you think you could just show us for the

02:17:15 think you could just show us for the articles here for the screen to your left or the larger screen oh yeah of course here where do you where did you first meet this way this yeah and how far down did she help you all the way

02:17:27 far down did she help you all the way down I think I believe and then when we went down when I saw the firefighter has just you know keep going to the firefighters and to be honest in that moment I don't know what I did it's like memory loss I don't know what

02:17:40 it's like memory loss I don't know what the lady gone you don't know where she went I don't know what she want okay I mean maybe she went out well if we can go back to ban the CCTV still that showed you at the bottom of the tower if we can go to inq 486

02:18:04 now if we can take I've shown you this CCTV style one that's similar to this one a little bit early and I'd asked you about the conversation you described a conversation taking place so with mr.

02:18:16 conversation taking place so with mr. Qadir wife and then you've also identified his daughter in the CCTV still yes sir we've applied reductions to this photo to protect the identity of

02:18:27 to this photo to protect the identity of a minor child but when you take it from me that behind the minor child there is mr. Qadir wife that would you would be able to see the two of them in this still that is unredacted you've

02:18:39 still that is unredacted you've described the conversation with both of them yeah I believe I believe in that moment I'd wanted to I believe in that moment I was looking at a man the wife

02:18:50 moment I was looking at a man the wife which is facing the firefighters if you see my face is directed to to the girl but I think is why she was standing there I'm not mistaken maybe she was

02:19:02 there I'm not mistaken maybe she was telling that yes that's correct I was talking to her that's correct in the unredacted still you can see this you see people there and you have structures why the reductions and that stone yeah well mr. money I just have

02:19:14 stone yeah well mr. money I just have one final question for you you've provided a statement that has been of great assistance to the inquiry and I'm also grateful for the evidence that you've given today is there anything further that you remember about the

02:19:26 further that you remember about the events of their night above what has been put in your state and statement or that you've described that you think it's important for the Chairman to know

02:25:22 many are killed before all reasonable steps are taken to minimize the risk six people died in Lochner house in 2009

02:25:37 people died in Lochner house in 2009 and the government failed to act and make changes to regulations and that will have stopped a fire like that from

02:25:49 will have stopped a fire like that from happening again tonight we know people are going to sleep in homes with dangerous clothing on them the

02:26:00 dangerous clothing on them the refreshment turned our home into death drop we know now that the contractor put profit before lives it's an industry but

02:26:13 profit before lives it's an industry but broken and acting criminally it's a vital the police investigation and the public inquiry and cover everything that led to killing of so many and now the

02:26:26 led to killing of so many and now the government should actually act so that this never happen again one important point policies building regulations and fire safety regulations all need to be
