Hong Kong mourns as rescuers comb ruined buildings for
bodies following deadly blaze. Here’s what we know
World
A deadly inferno tore through a massive housing complex in Hong Kong earlier this week, killing at least 146 people with many still missing, in the city’s worst disaster in decades. About 40 people are still thought to be missing. Authorities previously put the missing toll at 150, but revised this number down after some of the missing were found among the dead and hospitalized.
