Hong Kong Police Force released the pictures showing aftermath of the massive fire that tore through the Wang Fuk Court housing estate in Hong Kong’s Tai Po district. The images show ashy and completely dilapidated interiors with charred AC, metal parts, and several other components. The authorities can be seen cleaning the debris and looking for more bodies.

Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in more than 75 years, took place on Wednesday, and engulfed seven of the complex’s residential towers over two days. It has claimed 146 lives so far. The fire was finally extinguished on Friday.

As per the officials, another 100 people remain unaccounted for and 79 were injured.

The buildings had been undergoing renovations since last year, and officials say bamboo scaffolding and flammable foam boards used to cover windows helped the fire spread rapidly.

Hong Kong officials announced late on Saturday that they had ordered the immediate suspension of work on 28 building projects undertaken by the contractor of the complex, the Prestige Construction and Engineering Company, for safety audits.

Three company officials are among at least 11 people arrested in connection with the blaze, according to local authorities.
