Man says his wife is trapped inside
Harrowing witness reports are surfacing.
Reuters reporters spoke with a 71-year-old resident of the towers who broke down in tears, saying his wife was trapped inside.
Another man named Harry Cheung, 66, who has lived at Block Two in one of the complexes for more than 40 years, said he heard “a very loud noise at around 2:45 p.m.” (1:45 a.m. ET) and saw a fire erupt in a nearby block.
“I immediately went back to pack up my things,” he told Reuters.
“I don’t even know how I feel right now. I’m just thinking about where I’m going to sleep tonight because I probably won’t be able to go back home.”
