Ian Chu, who lived in Wang Cheong House where 81 people died, captured final photos of Tolo Harbour from his flat before renovations that will change the building's character.

Hong Kong Fire Survivors Return to Collect Belongings as Investigation Continues

Residents of Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong, returned on Saturday to collect belongings from their fire-damaged flats, five months after a deadly blaze killed 168 people, with 81 deaths occurring in one residential block. Ian Chu, a resident of Wang Cheong House where most deaths occurred, captured photos of the sea view from his flat facing Tolo Harbour before returning. The fire spread rapidly due to substandard netting used by contractors during renovations. Authorities allowed residents from two blocks a three-hour visit under a 15-day programme.
