00:57I saw the news around 2 p.m. that day.
01:14I saw the smoke coming out of there from my home.
01:17I even took photos.
01:19I was feeling very distressed.
01:21There would surely be casualties.
01:24Now there are more than 100 deaths.
01:26They are lives.
01:27They were trapped and suffocated to death.
01:31I was speechless.
01:56I was speechless.
01:57I was speechless.
01:59Our Tai Po district might be the safest neighborhood in Hong Kong.
02:12Crime rate is very low.
02:14But low crime rate does not mean no casualties.
02:17There are human errors, wrong decisions being made, greedy people.
02:22They all caused more than 120 lives.
02:25I have no more tears to shed.
02:38We lost contact with one of our friends since the beginning of the fire.
02:41We checked the photos of dead bodies trying to identify her but to no avail.
02:49We already registered and checked her name on all the shelter sites and hospitals on
02:53the night of the fire, but we still could not find her.
02:57We have been checking photos of dead bodies for the past few days, but still nothing.
03:03The building that she lived at, Wang Chiang House, is still barring entry.
03:08We are preparing ourselves mentally, but we hope she can be found soon so that we will
03:13have an answer, some peace of mind.
03:17Otherwise it's really hard to accept because we don't know.
