A cable bridge on Kuo Yip Street near Long Ping Station in Yuen Long caught fire. After about an hour, the fire subsided significantly.
A video circulating on the Internet shows that half of the bridge body was caught in a sea of fire at that time. Firefighters continued to spray water to the fire location from the shore. The bridge body formed a "V" shape, and a loud "bang" was heard.
Citizens watching nearby kept shouting, "Hey, blah, blah!" Some even laughed and asked if they had filmed the video.
Some netizens left a message saying: "It's not auspicious to have a series of shipwrecks and bridges."
