Firefighters search for missing after Hong Kong tower blocks fire | BBC News

Firefighters are still searching for hundreds of missing people after a massive fire tore through multiple high-rise residential buildings in Hong Kong.

At least 83 people are now known to have died in the blaze at Wang Fuk Court's complex, which is home to thousands.

The tower blocks had been undergoing extensive renovations - and while the exact cause for the fire is unclear, police say materials on the outside of the buildings may have facilitated its spread.

Three construction firm executives have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and gross negligence.
