Tai Po district, Hong Kong. It was 2 in the afternoon and Jackie was sound asleep in her 16th-floor residence of Block 7 when a faint smell woke her up. She got out of bed and went to check the kitchen, but the stove was cold, and there was no pot on it. Whatever was burning wasn't hers, and it wasn't food. It smelled like plastic. She went to the window and glanced through the green mesh and bamboo scaffoldings drooped all over her apartment block. She saw a small orange fire flickering against the face of a tower nearby. So she took the elevator down to the lobby and walked over to the security desk, and before she could finish explaining, the guard told her he already knew that there was a fire on Block 6. But no one, including the guard, looked worried. And she couldn’t hear any fire alarms. Assuming everything was fine, Jackie took the elevator back up to her floor and returned to her apartment. But everything was not fine. In fact, a disaster, the likes of which Hong Kong had never seen, was well underway. And soon hundreds of innocent lives would be destroyed, not by accident, but because of the greed of a corporation and the corruption of a government that would later arrest any victims who attempted to seek justice. Let’s get into it. Sources: https://rentry.co/xn6eeswx
