QUOTE(iGamer @ Nov 27 2025, 08:20 AM) One of most expensive apartments in the world, cheapest bamboos scaffolding…. I think this tragedy will make HK govt finally ban bamboos QUOTE(iGamer @ Nov 27 2025, 08:28 AM) It’s one of the easy combustible material, so it’s part if not the main reason for the fire to spread and maintain burning until such disastrous level. The other plausible culprits could be those netting and whatever combustible insulation layer they apply to the exterior of the apartment?  QUOTE(Momo33 @ Nov 27 2025, 08:37 AM) the news say .... Scaf folding using Bamboo is unique construction to HK and history. They are proud of it. Don't think it will ban.The fire rapidly escalated due to the presence of bamboo scaffolding and construction mesh covering the exterior of the high-rise towers, which were undergoing major renovation. Officials also reported finding Styrofoam inside the buildings, which they believe accelerated the flames through the corridors. Others then bamboo material, they find out many polystyrene boards lying around blocking the entrance and the window. This are highly flammable material. The boss and some worker already been arrested. The main problem for this fire spread so fast is because they scaffolding all the block. With each block is so near, fire easily wind blow to another block. They should complete 1 block at a time. Take down the scaffolding from the completed block before do another block. |

QUOTE(ekoh @ Nov 28 2025, 01:12 PM) Now many HKger said blaming on bamboo scaffolding is a conspiracy from China to replace it with metal, they want to preserve it. QUOTE(brkli @ Nov 28 2025, 01:24 PM) just preserve it only la.. the heritage is more important than their live. just note down who are they, have some bamboo structure set up at thier housing area so that they walk what they talk. QUOTE(countingcrows @ Nov 28 2025, 01:37 PM) They been using bamboo for a very long time. How about bamboo make of metal material? Surely, there must be other factors that had to align for such a large scale tragedy involving so many lives and property damage... Preserve the heritage of the bamboo (got the outlook) and at the same time be safer. Genius right?  |

QUOTE(ApocalypseSoon @ Nov 29 2025, 09:56 AM) It looks like Bamboo has practically become a religion in Hong Kong. HK people are spreading misinformation, denying obvious facts, and clinging to blatant bias. I use to cut bamboo for campfire. Confirm it can burn. 1. Video clearly shown bamboo burnt into ashes & fallen = HK people suddenly become blind 2. Video audio clearly gave the cracking sound of bamboo exploding = HK people suddenly become deaf 3. Aftermath Video clearly shown bamboo was destroyed by fire in the black colored side (due to burnt) of the building with gap of space showing the bamboo no longer exist due to it being destroyed, but they choose the least affected area (bright color side) as proof that bamboo was not destroyed = HK people become retarded bias If the green wan, take a bit time. As the fiber contain water. While the yellow dead bamboo is easy to burn. Sometime it explode as the pressure built up inside. Chop it half will be safer. That’s my real experience. Not ChatGPT. countingcrows liked this post
