At Least 14 Die in Hong Kong Complex Fire
At Least 13 Die in Hong Kong Complex Fire. Hong Kong is one of the world’s most densely populated cities. It is covered with 30-story housing complexes filled with millions of people.
Yesterday, a fire broke out in the city:
A massive fire ripped through multiple high-rise residential blocks in Hong Kong‘s northern Tai Po district on Wednesday, killing at least 14 people and injuring scores as authorities struggled to bring the blaze under control.
Firefighters battled the orange flames into the night as thick black smoke billowed from the 32-story towers, which were sheathed in bamboo scaffolding, whose use the government began phasing out in March for safety reasons, and green construction mesh. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.
Here is a video of the fire.
