A major fire erupted at a skyscraper construction site in Hong Kong’s popular shopping district on Thursday night, sending burning debris down onto the street below.
The blaze broke out at the site of The Mariners’ Club redevelopment project in the densely populated Tsim Sha Tsui district at about 11 p.m.
Multiple floors of the building were engulfed in flames as was the bamboo scaffolding, sending burning debris flying through the air as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
Two people, believed to be motorists, were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei for treatment, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported. Their conditions are unknown.
As the fire rapidly spread, explosions could be heard. Firefighters deployed two jets to douse the flames, according to the Morning Post.
