At least eight workers died, and many of those who survived, after saving children and others in their care, are worried about losing their jobs and being forced to leave.
In his own words, William Li, a resident of the Hong Kong apartment complex that became an inferno, recounted how he and two neighbors survived until help arrived.
Hope of finding survivors has dwindled, with many residents of the Wang Fuk Court towers still unaccounted for. Eight more people were arrested Friday over the blaze.
