>36 dead in hong kong 3 men arrested for manslaughter.

Updated 34 minutes ago

36 people, including a firefighter, have died. Some 279 are still missing

29 have been hospitalised, seven in a critical condition

 

The eight residential blocks in the estate had been undergoing renovations since July 2024, sheathed in bamboo scaffolding and green mesh

Authorities say the rapid spread of fire was “unusual”, with styrofoam material found in buildings

Bamboo, plastic netting, and zipties:

 

Bamboo scaffolding may be to blame for spread of Hong Kong tower block fire

 

A deadly fire in an apartment complex in Hong Kong appears to have spread in part because the buildings were sheathed in bamboo scaffolding, a traditional building material that the authorities have been phasing out for safety reasons.

 

Dozens of people died on Wednesday in Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in decades. The blaze tore through the Wang Fuk Court residential complex in Tai Po, in the northern New Territories. The complex is made up of eight 31-storey towers containing about 2,000 flats that house about 4,800 people.

 

The exact cause of the fire is unknown but the bamboo scaffolding and green construction mesh may have helped it to spread quickly across the apartments.

 

Hong Kong is one of the last places in the world where bamboo is widely used for construction. The intricate lattices of poles bound together by zip ties and wrapped around gleaming sky-scrapers are a ubiquitous sight across the city.

Bamboo, plastic netting, and zipties wrapped around an eight-block apartment complex. Look at the combustibles assembled outside the inhabited structures.

>Shot in the head?

>He is dead.

 

Norris protected their rear while the others moved towards the water. He was shot in the head and severely wounded. One of the South Vietnamese who saw Norris' wound assumed he was dead. Thornton, upon hearing the news, ran through heavy fire to recover the body of his fallen comrade, only to discover that Norris was still just barely alive. He killed several North Vietnamese as they surmounted the dunes around his position and then carried the unconscious Norris into the water.

 

Thornton also carried one of the South Vietnamese soldiers who had been wounded and was unable to swim into the ocean. Thornton swam and supported the two injured men for more than two hours before they were picked up by the same junk that had dropped them off the night before.

 

Thornton was recognized with the Medal of Honor for his actions of April 1972 by President Richard Nixon during a ceremony at the White House on October 15, 1973. He snuck Norris out of the hospital in the middle of the night so Norris could attend the ceremony. Norris was later awarded the Medal of Honor by President Gerald R. Ford in a White House ceremony on March 6, 1976. Norris thus became the first Medal of Honor recipient recognized for their life having been saved by another Medal of Honor recipient. Norris lost an eye and part of his skull. He spent three years recovering from his injuries in the hospital and over a six-year period underwent many major surgeries, and his first surgery lasted 19 hours. As a result of the head injury, he was medically retired from the Navy in May 1975.
