Hong Kong woke up to tragedy and fury after a terrible fire ripped through Wang Fuk Court, a crowded subsidised housing estate. At least 94 people have died and dozens more are critically hurt. Shock is now turning angry as questions fly about how this disaster could happen. Officials say that cheap plastic and mesh sheets on windows may have helped the fire quickly spread. The fire raged wildly for over a day, burning seven of the estate’s eight tall buildings. Nearly 300 residents are still missing. People call this a “man-made disaster.” Three people responsible for the renovation work are arrested on manslaughter charges. Authorities also started a corruption probe. A viral social media post shouts, "It's not an accident". Several residents told the BBC that the fire alarms never went off because they were switched off during renovations. Kiko Ma, a 33-year-old apartment owner at Wang Fuk Court, shared, "This was preventable... A lot of people did not do their duties," accusing the builders of using "poor quality, flammable materials." She added that workers were often seen smoking, leaving cigarette butts on window ledges, worrying everyone about a possible fire. This horror is Hong Kong’s deadliest blaze in over 60 years, beating a 1962 fire that killed 44. Wang Fuk Court, built in the 1980s, has about 4,600 people living in tiny apartments, nearly 40% elderly. The fire department said rescuers struggled with extreme heat, falling scaffolding, and narrow, crowded homes. Hong Kong’s skyline is famous for bamboo scaffolding, used widely on construction sites. Experts think this flammable bamboo helped fuel the fire. Although authorities planned to replace bamboo with steel for safety, this fire shows the danger. Residents had raised worry about the renovation plans last year, but their concerns seemed ignored. One owner called the plans "fundamentally shady," saying officials convinced elderly people to support them unfairly. A sales worker named Mr Lai told the BBC that residents had complained about high renovation costs. He claimed that "construction companies often prioritise cost efficiency over safety," pointing to recent fires caused by bamboo scaffolding catching fire. Following this disaster, Hong Kong authorities ordered safety checks on all housing areas under repair to prevent such tragedy again. As the city mourns, it also demands answers and safer homes for its people.
