The fire, which broke out on Tuesday afternoon at the Changfeng hospital in China’s capital, killed mostly patients, and left scores of other people injured. Footage posted to social media showed people clinging to ropes and jumping from the building, while others perched on external air conditioning units in a desperate attempt to shelter from the flames. The Fengtai district’s deputy mayor expressed his “deep condolences” over the deaths of the 16 women and 13 men killed in the fire, the deadliest in Beijing in more than two decades. “We feel deep remorse and guilt,” Li Zongrong told journalists as he announced the toll at a press conference on Wednesday.
