Description

Hong Kongs deadliest fire in nearly eighty years claims at least one hundred twenty-eight lives, with two hundred still missing. Authorities arrest eight individuals, including an engineering consultant, scaffolding subcontractor, and intermediary, in connection with the blaze at the Wang Fuk Court complex. The fire, which started during renovation, was exacerbated by bamboo scaffolding and green mesh, leading to a rapid spread. Mourners pay tribute, and volunteers provide aid to victims. The incident draws parallels to the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
