William Li survives fire in Hong Kong residential towers: 'I thought about jumping, but ultimately waited for help'

I thought about jumping, but in the end I decided to wait for help. What is certain is that William Li faced mortal danger on Wednesday in the Wang Fuk Court residential towers fire in Hong Kong. He is one of the lucky ones who can recount what happened.

Pointing this up (and the important 2nd post)--Living in England, I was really struck by the lack of accountability. In the US rn accountability is fully broken for the wealthy, yes, but the mechanisms are there if we start enforcing them again--it's not clear to me that they even exist in the UK.

I grew up about 4 km from the fire in Hong Kong. I have no words for what happened, but I’m proud of Hongkongers for helping each other: building a real-time rescue map, donating essentials, and housing those suddenly homeless.

Hongkongers built their own SOS map as seven towers burned

When a fatal fire tore through seven high-rise towers in Hong Kong's Tai Po district, thousands of families were glued to a single webpage that offered updates far more quickly than official governmen...

One of the reasons I wanted to go to #hongKong so accepted the opportunity is because I’d read there’d been no wahabist-style purge of china’s long history there. I’d expected it to be more like Italy, with many historic alters, and maybe it would have been if I’d managed to go hiking. 1/2

Dangerous but common greed is why we pay for government — to protect ourselves from practices we know are harmful. But China’s government is trying to use this tragedy to stamp out a recognisable, safe and sustainable indicator that #hongkong holds of their shared history. The bamboo didn’t burn.
