There was a massive fire in several Hong Kong towers yesterday. Just as we saw in the movie the Towering Inferno, steel framed towers don't collapse into their own blueprint at free fall speed due to heat and fire. Decan Chronicle is reporting that "The eight-tower estate housing more than 4,600 people had been undergoing renovations and was wrapped in bamboo scaffolding and green mesh when the fire started and quickly spread on Wednesday afternoon."
Came supplied with its own kindling
ReplyDeleteThe bamboo scaffolding probably wasn't the best idea but I think that has been used in Asian for decades. There was something else they used that was highly flammable that seems to have caused the fire. We could also say the same about wood framed towers here. Not very wise.
