A fire ripped through a Hong Kong typhoon shelter on Sunday, sinking 20 boats, damaging a dozen more, and leaving victims counting the cost of a night when only quick thinking saved lives.
The blaze in Aberdeen prompted politicians to renew calls for authorities to fix long-standing “structural problems” in the city’s marinas and typhoon shelters.
A boy reporting feeling unwell was sent to Ruttonjee Hospital and more than 30 boats in total were damaged or destroyed as the fire raged in the early hours of Sunday.
