A massive fire at Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court apartment complex has killed at least 55 people, with nearly 300 still missing. The blaze began on Wednesday afternoon and burned for more than 15 hours across several 32-storey towers in Tai Po. Firefighters worked through the night to reach people trapped on upper floors. Police arrested two company directors and an engineering consultant for suspected manslaughter. Officers said unsafe scaffolding and foam-sealed windows may have helped the fire spread. At least 45 people are in critical condition. This is Hong Kong’s deadliest fire since World War II. (PC: BBC)
