this is public housing right ?

thats why alot old folks .... damn tragic .. cannot run .. lift down

Somehow I feel confident

Like pissing on a burning jungle.

Great example of why fire code in buildings are so damn important, otherwise it's a massive tasks to undertake.
Like, how do the firefighters even begin to tackle this scale of incident?

first time in 30 years?
if yes then some thing new caused the fire.

Confident about what?

Holy fuck! That’s scary….. RIP to the deceased

8 block housing project
1 block no fire

investigation of the material on the non fire block construction materials, found out the safety net is non compliance material, and some Styrofoam on the window

3 personnel from construction company is under arrest by police

Many died and still unaccounted for. So expected death number would be higher.

7 block fire, 3 block under control
Abang Bomba said searching till top floor may be around this evening.

god bless ppl trap at upper floor

Death toll rise to 36 and 279 people still missing

Said the green color netting covering the bamboo is not fire proof which by their code must be fire proof… cut cost.

Well, we have quite a lot of mini HKs style condos here! If this can happen in HK, then it can happen in Mesia…..matter of time, I suppose.

some people arrested by the police already. how could they did big renovation all at a time. plus too much cutting corners. They use bamboo that was backed by bamboo cartel to create the unsafe scaffolding.

they will need planes to dump water.

i wonder if tying the base of the scaffolding to a truck and pulling will cause all the scaffolding to collapse and fall or not. that way will not lead to fire running up the building

time to change building code. the old fire separation distance may not be sufficient could be due to stronger wind speed (climate change) etc.

Latest news is the fire is now under control but a lot of smoke and firefighters are going in to search for survivors. Death toll expected to rise. Now already rise to 44 with another 45 people seriously injured
