In Hong Kong, officials say at least 151 people died in a fire that engulfed a high-rise apartment complex last Wednesday. The blaze is Hong Kong’s deadliest in more than 70 years, and the exact cause has yet to be determined. Eight people have been arrested on corruption charges after an investigation revealed that the netting that covered scaffolding used in renovations was not up to fire safety codes. This is Joey Yeung, whose grandmother’s home was consumed by the fire.
Joey Yeung: “All the memories have all gone, and it’s all because of those people who caused the fire. I can’t accept it. So, today I came with my father and my family to lay flowers. … I’m not asking to get anything back, but at least give some justice to the families of the deceased, to those who are still alive.”
