An outpouring of grief swept Hong Kong as crowds paid their respects and laid flowers for the 128 people killed in one of the city’s deadliest fires, marking the start of an official, three-day mourning period.
A growing number of people arrived at a park near the charred shell of Wang Fuk Court, the residential complex that burned for more than 40 hours, to place white and yellow flowers and handwritten messages of remembrance.
