The Last Signal

At 7:30 PM on November 18, 1987, a passenger on the Piccadilly line escalator at King's Cross noticed a small fire on the wooden treads. It was reported at the ticket office. For roughly fifteen minutes, the fire remained small. Then, at 7:45 PM, a previously unrecognised phenomenon called the 'trench effect' caused flames to race upward through the escalator shaft, erupting into a devastating flashover. Thirty-one people lost their lives, including Station Officer Colin Townsley, who died while helping a passenger to safety. The official investigation led by Desmond Fennell QC concluded the fire was started by a single discarded match.
