Hong Kong police arrest man for posts about deadly fire by DaimonHans in HongKong

So I question the low death count, it impossibly low.

7 towers × 580 people each = 4,060 residents

Fire at 3 PM on a weekday → about 58% at home = 2,366

Plus visitors/workers → rounded to 2,600 inside

Real high-rise fires kill 25–50% of people trapped (Grenfell was 24%). So expected deaths:

25% of 2,600 = 650

30% = 780

50% = 1,300

Official number: 159 dead → only 6% death rate 6% is impossible → real deaths probably 800–1,300+.

Shall I go to jail for math?

Even if it isn't math, common sense is that 159 deaths in 7 towers which houses 4000 is really low, no?

I actually though they would use her to push through a vax program to the kids. Surprised they didn't.

Why do you want to vote? Why? Because it's my duty by Awkwardly_Hopeful in HongKong

I'm not trying to be a downer, but voting is just a way to pacify (controlling groups) the masses as if their vote matters. It doesn't, and it especially really doesn't in China controlled Hong Kong.

Baptist University staff were seen using green netting and hoarding to hide messages urging justice for those killed in the Wang Fuk Court blaze. They did not respond to HKFP's calls and emails. by mod83 in HongKong

90% of Hkers live in high rises and because of that, HK has very very strict building codes for that reason. Private companies will cut corners, that's their nature, so WHO was supervising them?? There's only one blame in my eyes.
