How one man escaped from Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in decades

When flames tore through the Wang Fuk Court estate in Tai Po, Hong Kong, William Li had no warning. A call from his wife was the first sign of danger. For more than two hours, Li and two neighbors were trapped, battling suffocating smoke and falling debris before firefighters pulled them to safety. CNN's Hanako Montgomery spoke with the escapee whose survival is a rare miracle in a disaster that claimed almost 150 lives and reduced his community of 40 years to ashes.
