One of the problems in
the King's Cross fire of 1987 was the inability of firefighters being
able to get below the seat of the fire to assess and possibly fight
it.

Why couldn't they use the spiral staircase (the old emergency stairs)
- they are still there according to the plans, and they are definitely
still there at platform level (although the tiling is quite flaky).
