Jason Y. Ng: JUST IN: a second firefighter, Hui Chi-kit, has died fighting the Ngau Tau Kok warehouse fire.

It's hard to believe that after nearly 60 hours, the blaze still hasn't been brought under control. The building is showing cracks and looks like it may not hold much longer. Toxic fumes are spreading in the neighborhood.

How has what seemed like a mundane industrial accident turned into a full-blown disaster? Is it the 35 degree temperature, poor building design or an underfunded fire department?
