Are the people who design bamboo scaffolding, the same ones coming to train us?

Nah, I think, we are good.

The picture of someone pointing up towards the flame that is on top of the building looks like something from a movie.

It's difficult to imagine the size of these apartments. They were huge

quote:

complex consisted of eight blocks with almost 2,000 apartments housing about 4,800 people.




ETA: at least 44 dead and 279 reported missing. 3 contractors arrested
quote:

Authorities suspected some materials on the exterior walls of the high-rise buildings did not meet fire resistance standards, as the rapid spread of the fire was unusual.

Police also said they found Styrofoam materials -- that are highly flammable -- outside the windows on each floor near the lift lobby of the one unaffected tower, believed to be installed by a construction company. “We have reason to believe that those in charge of the construction company were grossly negligent,” said Eileen Chung, a senior superintendent of police. The three men arrested, aged 52 to 68, are the directors and an engineering consultant of the firm..

One of the top cities in the world and bamboo scaffolding is still in use.
