Holishit xhs got a video where it first started. Firstly the fire only started burning at like 3-4 storey. Less than 1 minutes, it spread up to level 10. Really no time to evacuate especially those stay high floor.

After this high rise residence price drop again

ini mesti salah buang puntung rokok terkena netting plastik

Its the Hong Kong way. There is even documentary about it.



Maybe this tragedy will made them rethink about using bamboo.

Use bakau la

Very tragic. At first I thought the fire will be contained quickly but end up multiple towers burned. RIP.

Fire engulfs Hong Kong residential building killing at least 14 people, trapping others

It is opposite. The property price will go up again. HK property where got cheap one.

Not that majority HK people have a choice … still buy buy buy

Yet hardly see them on fire despite heavy use in hk construction

Taktau link, I seen from my gf phone

if they want to bad it they would had banned it decades ago

whole world only HK uses it at such a large scale, under the pretext of cost and efficiency

not Malaysia, not Singapore

now you know why Hongkies rather become underdogs in UK than become capitalist slaves in HK

bamboo scaffoldings is their tradition for long time ady, say its a lost art and skill. But I cant brain how the fire can spread to multiple buildings, dunno these are old flats or how, if all ady got ppl live there confirm gg, looking at those bird cage rooms

new source material 4 haunted stories

latest 13 gg

anyway rip

First time saw so many towers on fire. Doesn’t make sense fire can jump from one tower to another. Bamboos on fire on the exterior can burn until fire spread into concrete building?

Weird that they do renovation simultaneously for so many towers instead of one tower at a time. I wonder if HK will ban bamboos in future seeing how tragic this fire is.

buying condo soon?
Think again

they should ban the contractors.
Somebody has to be accountable

Huge fire engulfing several towers is really rare. Normally fire in condo rarely ever spread to whole tower, mostly contain within a unit or two.

HK really topkek with their bamboo scaffolding.

The green netting. Its plastic and very flammable. The bamboo as you can see in the videos actually holding up. So it would have been a slow burn. With strong winds, the netting can fly and then carry the flames with it. It usually happens with green houses as well. Sometimes the farmers want to save money so they burn some waste and the netting for the green house catches fire. It spreads damn fast.
