Hong Kong’s worst fire in decades was still smoldering in several apartment towers Thursday as firefighters struggled to rescue dozens of people still unaccounted for.
At least 55 people were known to have died in the blaze that broke out Wednesday at Wang Fuk Court in Taipo, a suburb in the city's mountainous New Territories. Dozens more were injured, and about 900 of the 4,800 residents were evacuated to temporary shelters overnight.
