Deadly Hong Kong apartment fire kills dozens, with hundreds still missing. Here's the latest.

"At least 75 people have died from the fire, which began Wednesday afternoon, local time, and eventually tore through seven of the complex's eight towers. Roughly 4,600 people live in the complex, and nearly 300 are still missing, and 76 are injured, Hong Kong leaders have said. Among the injured, 11 are firefighters, and Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region John Lee Ka-chiu said at least one firefighter has died as a result of the blaze."

"Hong Kong authorities have said materials on the outside of the building did not meet fire safety standards, and three executives from the construction firm that built the towers have been arrested for manslaughter. "We have reason to believe that those in charge of the construction company were grossly negligent," said Eileen Chung, a senior superintendent of police, during a press conference. Parts of the building were under renovation, with bamboo scaffolding and a flammable safety net on the outside of the towers."
