Schools and businesses closed in Hong Kong and Guangdong as powerful winds and rain set to hit after destruction across Taiwan and Philippines
Ahead of the arrival of hurricane-force winds and torrential rain on Wednesday, about 80% of the aircraft belonging to the four main airlines based in Hong Kong had been relocated to or grounded at airports in Japan, China, Cambodia, Europe, Australia and other locations, Flightradar24 tracking data showed.
All landings and departures at Hong Kong, the world’s busiest cargo airport and the ninth busiest for international passenger traffic, were cancelled for 36 hours starting on Tuesday evening, reports Reuters.
For the 14 who have tragically passed away, we must investigate why evacuation orders were not carried out in the designated areas.
This is not about assigning blame, but about uncovering the truth.
