Absolutely riveted by this video of women filmed in the 1970s reminiscing about their young adult life in the 1890s
"I was a feckless girl"
"The mud, everywhere, mud to our knees!"
"Were the ladies on bicycles or horseback?"

The extra layer to this tragedy is that the Wang Fuk towers were built under a public housing scheme established in the 1950s after a devastating shanty town fire in nearby Shek Kip Mei.

also if the bamboo scaffolding (used in ultra high rises for literal decades) were the real problem we would have found that out a long time ago
International media, you can do better than this.
"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.
