Poor fire retardance, alleged worker smoking among fatal Hong Kong blaze theories

Is bamboo the reason?

Some people are saying the fire department are slow to respond

They say only 1 fire engine came because originally it was category 1 fire only

They didn't expect it to spread so fast

A lot of dangerous materials were stored there because of the renovation too

Most youngsters don't know this movie

HK property market is screwed up. It's not geared towards owners benefits. That is why their richest people all do property and property related biz. They get extremely rich because even the government put the biz people interest first. Why? HK tax is very low.Property related revenue are major source of income for the government. This is actually something from British days until today even after China takes over, the practice still remains

This also salah CCP?

Where do you think this type of practice started from?

That is one of the reason. The found materials like styrofoam at the windows and the contractor was storing a lot of fire hazard materials all over the buildings due to the renovation

The netting used in HK are not fire proof because it's cheaper. Even China got fire proof ones that are not expensive. That's why the whistleblower was puzzled why the contractor insist of using the non fire proof ones.

A lot of Hong Kongers are very stubborn and insist their traditional ways are better. They are not very receptive of change

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

Hongkongers don't trust anything from China even if China offered help. The HK government will look even more useless if they ask Shenzhen's help. Even with Shenzhen's help and using drones, the fire might not even be contained. A lot of Hongkongers are like AMDKs in k. If with Shenzhen's help and drones, so many people still die, what do you think all those keyboard warriors will say? Even now with no China involvement at all, there are people blaming China.

The green netting is the reason why the fire spread so fast but if it's metal and not bamboo, the fire would have finished faster. To say bamboo has no role in the fire is not right
