00:57I saw the news around 2 p.m. that day.

01:14I saw the smoke coming out of there from my home.

01:17I even took photos.

01:19I was feeling very distressed.

01:21There would surely be casualties.

01:24Now there are more than 100 deaths.

01:26They are lives.

01:27They were trapped and suffocated to death.

02:12Crime rate is very low.

02:14But low crime rate does not mean no casualties.

02:17There are human errors, wrong decisions being made, greedy people.

03:03The building that she lived at, Wang Chiang House, is still barring entry.

03:08We are preparing ourselves mentally, but we hope she can be found soon so that we will

03:13have an answer, some peace of mind.

03:17Otherwise it's really hard to accept because we don't know.
