Firefighters in Hong Kong have been battling a deadly blaze at a high-rise apartment complex for a second day. The fire has claimed 94 lives, making it one of the deadliest in the city’s history. The blaze started on Wednesday at one of the towers and spread across seven buildings in the Wang Fuk Court complex. Rescuers are still going from apartment to apartment searching. Hong Kong leader John Lee said earlier Thursday that contact had been lost with 279 people. Authorities have arrested three men from a construction company on suspicion of manslaughter. The fire’s rapid spread is believed to be due to non-compliant materials.
