Inspections are not a guarantee. First one must do proper inspection.  Second, one must fix whatever is broken or missing.  Both a bit suspect when independent agencies that can't be bribed are rare, or if ignorance and not training, or standards, or experience exist. 

 

Station club fire in Rhode Island is a good example.  A comedy of errors which were not funny that led to 100 people getting killed

This prompted me to do a bit of searching about major fires - theaters, clubs and high-rise apartments.  Despite building codes, inspections and all, it's astounding at how many are due to rule violations and general incompetence.

 

Coconut Grove fire 1942 - 492 deaths,  Iroquois Theatre fire 1903 - 602 deaths

The Grenfell Tower high rise fire caused quite a stir.  It was found that thousands of buildings had similar flammable cladding and insulation.
