- Andreia Perestrelo and Marcio Gomes had a terrifying escape from their flat on the 21st floor of Grenfell Tower the night of the fire. Almost one year later and they have been sent boxes of their belongings that survived. It has taken them almost six weeks to work up the courage to open the larger boxes. Newsnight's Katie Razzall and Sara Moraliogliu were with them.

Must be so heartbreaking leaving with your precious dog and get out without her 💔officially crying😪
She did leave the flat with that family but she got fightened and ran back up the stairs
this brings tears to the eyes. Parts of your life, your home, your memories, so precious. God bless these survivors.
This moved me to tears, they lost their unborn child and their beloved pet. How emotional to see them opening their boxes. I'm so glad that this lovely couple survived.
Sadly their marriage broke down, four years after the fire
Sadly they spilt up they are friends of mine
The dog's bowl part made me cry...
I remember a little while after the fire it came out that the tenants where still being charged rent for their burnt out homes. Utterly disgusting conduct by that council.
5:38 when he tells her to be careful touching the mug because it had melted.. that really touched my heart. And then the wedding ring... bless them 💓
They're the sweetest couple ❤️ some couples are just meant to be, and these two people are meant to be together ❤️
seeing them unpack the dog bowl just made cry my eyes out and made me feel sick to my stomach that people and animals had to go through this. this year will mark 3 years and still no arrests when will these people get justice. RIP we will never ever forget or let those responsible forget what they've done
this was horrific 😥 I know that smell..many yrs ago I had a house fire.it was during the day.i threw the two young children out of the door,then pets.thick acrid smoke to the floor.i threw the bag of photos out.i sat outside in shock ..the smell the taste.i couldn't get the cockatiel...but after the fire engines put it out ...the cockatiel was chirping away.i tasted and smelt the acrid smoke for months.the photos even now 28 yrs later smell of smoke.i hope these poor people get justice
Cinnamon scent would have helped. We got it as air freshner when the neighbours house caught fire.
We smelled the WTC for months in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I ended up throwing out curtains, a rug, throw blankets and pillows from the sitting room. I also threw out the clothes I was wearing that day. I was working two blocks up from City Hall and left on foot after the second plane hit, so most of the really bad dust missed me. It's a smell I'll take with me until I die.
That's why I have valuables like documents and old photographs stored together in one place so I can quickly take them in case I have to leave the house ASAP.
@@MargaritaMagdalena to this day I do the same
Heartbreaking. Bless this beautiful family ❤
Bless this family..they've been in my thoughts a lot ❤
its a shame that this couple along with several others have actually split up since the fire cause of the impact afterwards
When they unwrapped the dogs bowl I just started crying. I'm so attached to my little guy I probably would have gone back to get him. This fire still gets me and I live know where near london but it just proves how humanity just gets worst and worst through the years. Animals take better care of there kind than some humans take care of other human beings.
Why even bother making something so flammable unless it is for a fire. If these companies won't feel safe putting these materials on there own buildings why bother selling it. What I don't understand know one has gone to prison over this fire. And what is really unbelievable, there are many buildings in Europe with this cladding on them still to this day. Humans are the worst creatures on earth!!!
Each flat is designed to be a fire-resisting box, Sad times due to people ignoring a simple Planning rule for money, "nothing that holds a flame" and that used to apply to all materials in the window opening and on the facade. Hence original windows being metal with no plastics holding extractor fans in windows. If the material didn't hold a flame but retreated out of the fires reach such as with Polystyrene, then a fire stop would be fitted on each floor level, its depth determined from the expected flame height from below.
Best scenario fit a total flame/ fire proof Insulation material like Glasswool.
Some years ago Rockwool had an advert claiming their material doesn't burn, the petrol based Insulation lobby took them to court and nearly bankrupted them, big oil at play.
In 2009-2010, of over 8,000 fires in these type of blocks, only 22 fires necessitated evacuation of more than five people with the assistance of the fire and rescue service.
If all the rules are followed, the use of the common parts, and the nature of any combustible items present, is such that any fire originating in the common parts is unlikely to spread beyond the immediate vicinity.
When Mrs Thatcher said we must peel back the state, this is what I envisaged, letting business audit itself when we know how rapidly it can be corrupted, like it was when these blocks where constructed, was always on my mind. Some blocks where demolished shortly after they where built as they had been shoddily built, but no one went to jail.
Meanwhile those responsible are delaying, and have no intention of attending the Inquiry.
rip to the dog aswell sosad brought a tear to my eye
This truly was heartbreaking
Still haunts me to this day
I cant even begin to think about how many mixed emotions they have unwrapping those items
The Dog bowl got me. Utter tears 😢
Love this family
heartbreaking. So moving. Well done.
😭 I am so sorry for all your loss
The Council are lying,underhanded, self seeking scum bags.
Trying not to cry.
happy that they still have some sentimnetle things but still so sorry fro everyone rip
I could never leave my dog! RIP lily 💔❤️💋
Wasn't their fault. The dog slipped her lead in terror and just ran. There was nothing that family could do. I'm sure they are haunted by the memories of the dog running back up the stairs.
I live in the USA I saw this and was shocked how bad are your public housing safety check list??? I Used to live in public housing in the USA we call it hud and I almost didn't get to move in my old apt because of the water pressure wasn't strong enough here's a list of stuff that has to be checked off before someone moves in.kelsohousing.org/property-owners/room-by-room-inspection-list-section-8/ . If only one thing is not working you don't move in
😔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So sad I.m not going to get into government for there respect !!!
❤️
I need a piece of the same cladding just to burn in the garden or something just to get a sense of what the smell is just a tiny chunk of it, or just buy a bit of polyethylene and foil for the aluminium
Yip the truth is there s😢strong and the baby still born. ❤🙏😇❤️
Why haven't any charges been brought against the tenant of the flat where the fire started?
andylaauk It was an accident! An electrical fault!! Not his fault!!
Why he didn't know it was going to happen, If anyone's to blame it's the fridge manufactures, It could happen to anyone even you, Think how you would feel if it was your fridge that had started it

BBC Newsnight! Here is the world following you but you spent any Penny in english undertitle. As show and no substance! Come on, guys!
why not practice your spoken english without having to read the words in subtitles?
Sharni Stevens What about deaf people.
Roger Lloyd Pack with a beard
Excuse me but how did she get this? 22 stories 200 plus units and somehow she accessed an item from her apt? fishy very fishy
Investigators from the Met delivered to them after the fire was extinguished, ma'am.
Archived building blueprints would distinguish which apartment was where, records would validate which family lived in which flat. Careful excavation of surviving items in each residence would have been recorded and mark to be cleaned and returned to it's owners. It's pretty simple logic.
Don't come here with your conspiracy crap
It did say in the report, investigators returned the cleaned property. So I am deducing that fire investigators cleared out what was salvageable to return items to the residents.
Yes, and these items were professionally cleaned as much as they could be.
Why on Earth would people want Burnt Mugs back??
Mugs are often a gift. I myself received few, I gave few too to others. Mugs like "best mum ever", or the one we still have from childhood, from a travel, mugs are often a memory, they will not use them to drink from them but its high chance that it was important for someone, so they received it back.
It's called sentimental value.
Imagine you had a mug from your childhood, for me it's my railway series mug, imagine the memories attached to that item. Loosing an item like that is like loosing memories. The damage doesn't mean the memories aren't there.
It’s a dog for goodness sake!
It's more than a dog it's family Ur comment is mean
The dog part is so sad 😭 it’s so sad that people lost their lives and animals too😭
With the millions that was donate...every person can be bought a home, fully paid for...no-one who survived that night should be living in hotels or temporary accommodation for long term.
So sad that their marriage broke down, as a result of Grenfell
RIP little Logan. I wish you both my deepest sympathy and hope for a quick, fair and just inquiry.
As soon as I saw the dog bowl I cried!
Ditto, I wonder if they counted the number of animals who lost their lives in the fire. Personally I would have counted them with the people. Pets are family too.
Matt D Wade So did I. They lost so much. I will never forget this fire!
I agree. I cant stop thinking about those poor animals too.
Why? Was there a big Korean contingent in Grenfell?
Rest In Peace beautiful Lily
I still remember the screams of those children 😢😢😢😢😢😢
JOE BLOGGS did not get you...what r u trying to say?🤔
Wow ..... brave people....... I still can’t touch most things I’ve been left with ......... this is the bravest thing & validating thing I’ve seen in along time ...... thank you god for showing me this video & guiding me to it ....
Amen xxxx 🙏🏻❤️
RIP Logan and Lily. Look after your little brother Lily.
Bearing in mind I saw the early films of you, this family, it is moving again to see you smiling and in good humour at last. x
Sadly their marriage broke down, as a result of Grenfell, four years after the fire
@@tomlibooe That is totally heart breaking. Unfortunately, while marriages can withstand many things, something this deeply traumatic requires very deep changes within individuals which are far deeper than the roots of the current relationship - far deeper than merely 'outgrowing' each other over time. I hope they both found healing in their new lives, my heart is aching actually as I write this. I used to be active in the facebook groups but when covid hit I was angry that they allowed the companies to give testimony over the internet in the safety of their own homes - making it easier to lie and cheat, so I stopped watching and talking. However, of course I understand why the BSR's accepted the situation - they needed to move on. I wasnt part of the community, I joined the conversations for professional and empathic reasons. x
People forget about the animals that lost their lives that night 😢, None of those people should still be living in temporary accommodation, Especially when you have some illegal immigrants that come over here and get housing alot quicker, These people are hard working people that have lived in this country for years god bless the people that were from grenfell
i quite agree that it hardly seems a year already.
sn4rff tmw is the grenfell one yr anniversary 😔
4 years now
@@sisvsbrotiktoksyoutubefan the inquest/enquiry still hasn't concluded, has it? i don't think i've ever heard of any resolution.
Public justice must be done for Grenfell tower fire victims
Who built this house and stole money, will also burn in hell, but later
It is remarkable that these possessions were retrieved and cleaned by the authorities; I can't think of many places in the world where poor victims would be so treated. The power of international capital is so overpowering in London, even when sympathetic people are elected to supposedly powerful positions of authority. The tide of plutocrification is so overhelming for ordinary people, sweeping them out of their city with deadly force. Tragically, the force supposedly opposed to this, namely Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, also seems to be in thrall to the Russians, who have brought so much of that capital into London.
Que raiva, que dor, uma tragédia totalemte evitavel, um dos motivos que me afastou de Londres foi a sua hipocrisia. I am still praying for those who died!
Some items can never be replaced.but you're alive.thank god for that.
so sad
I could never leave my dog....even if it endangered my life....I would have to go back
The dog got scared and ran back up the stairs
