Very low chance it will happen here lah, we using metal/aluminium scaffolding, normally high rise building exterior maintenance involving in painting or water proofing only

Can clearly see the bamboo burned into ashes, but many hongkie comment in YT still claim that bamboo is safe bcoz it have been painted with a fire retardant layer & it still it stand after the big fire. 

hongkie are really retarded.

based on the rescue by their fire fighter ar, can see they have long ass ladder that can go up to 100meter (tbc) or 30 stories and it cost up to RM1 million for that.

Malaysia got ar ? how well is ours bomba preparation for emergency sitaution like this ?

nvm jakim more funding first.

if u ignorant dont simply say

I still see YT videos and comments where Hongkies kept defending bamboo scaffolding.

Yes the tragedy started by corruption, failed regulatory monitoring, none fire retardant netting and window seals. But they had use metal scaffolding, this fire probably wouldn’t engulf 7 towers.

The bamboos on fire become like firecrackers, they burst with many debris and sparks. One resident witness said the bamboos on fire were like rockets.

Changing bamboo to steel will have mitigated this fire dramatically.

hongkie are really retarded.

We also don't do all blocks at the same time. Usually it's block by block

I think many of them hid in the toilet. That's where they'll be found..

The whistleblower suspect they did all at once so they can quickly complete the work and ran away overseas safely with songlap money. 日长梦多…

It was said that doing few block by turn would be cheaper as they can then shift non perishable material from one block to another. So the fact that they did all blocks all at once really raise question as to why.

Cremated...

heres the longer version of video,

It’s practically 7 blocks of ovens, there’s no where to hide from the roasting heat even if one can avoid the smoke.

Almost everything become flammable under intense heat. So many household items would had started burning, bathroom is the only place with least flammable items…but in the end victims either died due to smoke or roasted alive by the intense heat. 

This video interview whistleblower who earlier engaged the authority multiple times to warn of fire hazard about the apartments renovation, the authorities brushed his warning aside and claimed the project post minimal risks. Heads will roll soon…

Yes - but it didn’t go up overnight. It was there for a long time, same as the flammable seals on the windows etc etc. Many people saw it, were aware, what checks were made by ………… all the stakeholders who had public safety concerns? WHO failed in their responsibilities?
It was a significant contract - @ HKD345m I think - so the investigation of the procurement process and contract agreement will be interesting, and damming. As the residents were paying for it there’s reports on their dissatisfaction with the process and, even before the fire, the outcomes.
Of course everyone, including here, wants it cheaper - I know how MC procurement decisions are fought over tooth and nail, for savings; we’re all tuned now to expect more for less, so it will be good to find out what minimum standards and fire laws were breached.
I’m not familiar with the governance and accountability for this type of building in HK but the list of actors involved will be large I’m sure.

3mins hard to run, even from top floor running to stair case pun mau 5-10mins  

Agree but what is the fire is caused by gas tanks or ciggi smokes or fireworks ?  Does Bomba has the facilities to douse or control fire in such highly dense and tall buildings?  Just hope it will not be like the movie towering inferno…
