"A three-alarm fire ripped through the Hong Kong bar in Faneuil Hall on Thursday night.
About a half dozen people were inside at about 9 p.m. when the fire broke out.
Firefighters said the fire, which was caused by an electrical short circuit, began on the ceiling of the first floor and quickly spread to the walls and across the building.
No one was hurt.
The fire caused an estimated $400,000 in damages."
I can't believe I didn't hear about this until now. Forget fundraising for Haiti. We all have to act now to rebuild the Hong Kong in Boston. I will be holding a candlelight vigil in 2 weeks in memory of the best 4th Bar and arguably the best of all the bars on the 12 Bars of Christmas Bar Crawl. Stay tuned for the benefit concert that I'm trying to put together which will also offer free Scorpion Bowls at the concert for every $20 donation.
Click here to watch the video of the Hong Kong burning. Lets all have a moment of silence while you watch the video. I do have to warn everyone that this video is highly emotional so please use discretion when viewing. I don't want to be responsible for anyone going into a deep depression.
