HK cancels fireworks event
Print Edition
A spectacular fireworks display staged annually over Hong Kong鈥檚 Victoria Harbour to mark Lunar New Year will be canceled this year as the city mourns victims of a deadly bus crash.
A speeding double-decker overturned in northern Hong Kong on Saturday evening, killing 19 and leaving more than 60 injured, some critically.
As Hong Kong went into mourning, the government called off the fireworks scheduled for the second day of Chinese New Year on Saturday.
Chinese tradition says the seventh day after a death is when the spirit of the deceased returns to bid farewell for the last time.
鈥淩esidents are grieving and want to express their somber mood, and their respect and care for the dead and injured,鈥 said Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
