Rising death toll in Hong Kong’s ‘avoidable’ fire

from Saturday Extra - Separate stories podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

At least 128 people have died and 200 people are still missing. It's the city's deadliest fire in 70 years, and it ripped through a housing complex with 8 tower blocks and about 2000 apartments. An early theory is that construction materials used for a renovation fuelled the blaze.
